Free, no-obligation inspection from a vetted local foundation specialist.
Full crawl space encapsulation to stop moisture, mold, and wood rot for good.Drop your ZIP and we'll match you with one vetted local specialist for a free inspection — typically within 24 hours. We make the introduction. They handle the work. No spam calls, no five-way bidding war.
Scope of work
Encapsulation seals the crawl space against ground moisture using a heavy-duty (typically 12–20 mil) reinforced vapor barrier across the floor and up the walls, with vents sealed and a dehumidifier conditioning the space. The result is a clean, dry, conditioned area that protects your framing and improves indoor air.
The matched specialist will give you a written scope and estimate after the free inspection.

Warning signs
If two or more of these appear in your home, it's worth scheduling a free inspection. Early repairs cost a fraction of late ones.
High humidity readings in the crawl space
Musty or earthy odors in upstairs living areas
Visible mold on joists or sub-floor
Recurring pest activity (rodents, snakes, termites)
FAQ
An old, thin (6 mil) plastic sheet is not the same as a sealed system. Modern encapsulation uses thick reinforced liner, sealed seams, sealed walls and vents, and a dehumidifier — a complete system, not just a sheet.
Most homeowners see a 5–15% reduction in heating and cooling costs because the conditioned space is dry, sealed, and insulated from ground temperature swings.
Quality 20-mil encapsulations come with 20–25 year warranties and routinely last longer with annual dehumidifier servicing.
