FAQ
-
What are the signs of a moisture problem in my crawlspace?
Common signs include musty odors, visible mold, standing water, sagging floors, increased humidity in your home, and pest activity.
-
What is crawlspace encapsulation and do I need it?
Encapsulation is the process of sealing your crawlspace with a vapor barrier to prevent moisture, mold, and structural damage. If your crawlspace is damp, humid, or showing signs of mold, encapsulation is highly recommended.
-
Is a moisture barrier the same as encapsulation?
Not quite. A moisture barrier is a single layer of plastic laid on the floor to block ground moisture. Encapsulation is a full sealing system that covers the ground, walls, and often includes a dehumidifier.
-
Can crawlspace moisture really affect my house?
Yes. Up to 50% of the air in your home comes from your crawlspace. Moisture and mold below can lead to poor air quality, structural issues, and increased energy bills.

Do I need to encapsulate my crawlspace if I don't have mold?
