Scope of work

What crawl space encapsulation typically includes.

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.

  • 12–20 mil reinforced vapor barrier across floor and walls
  • Foundation vent sealing
  • Drainage matting where needed
  • Sump pump and dehumidifier installation
  • Termite inspection gap and access door

  • 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

Vapor Barrier & Encapsulation — common questions.

Do I need encapsulation if I already have a vapor barrier?

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.

Will encapsulation lower my energy bill?

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.

How long does encapsulation last?

Quality 20-mil encapsulations come with 20–25 year warranties and routinely last longer with annual dehumidifier servicing.
