What is Crawl Space Encapsulation?
1. Sealing Vents & Air Leaks
We start by sealing off crawl space vents and other air leaks. This stops the primary source of humidity from entering the space.
2. Installing a Heavy-Duty Vapor Barrier
We cover the entire floor and walls of the crawl space with a thick, durable, 20-mil vapor barrier. This puncture-resistant liner acts as an impenetrable shield, preventing moisture from the ground from evaporating into your crawl space.
3. Insulating the Walls
We add high-performance, waterproof rigid foam insulation to the crawl space walls. This helps regulate the temperature under your home, preventing condensation and reducing the strain on your HVAC system.
4. Installing a High-Efficiency Dehumidifier
The final step is to install a professional-grade, self-draining crawl space dehumidifier. This powerful unit actively removes any remaining moisture from the air, maintaining an optimal humidity level where mold cannot grow and wood is protected.
FAQ
“Shouldn’t a Crawl Space Breathe?”
Venting crawl spaces is an outdated practice for modern, air-conditioned Florida homes. Today’s HVAC systems actually pull in humid air through open vents, worsening moisture problems, which is why sealing and conditioning the space is the proven, superior solution.
