Musty Odors

By sealing off your crawl space and controlling humidity levels, encapsulation prevents the development of unpleasant musty smells that can permeate your home, creating a fresher and more inviting atmosphere.

Increased Energy Efficiency and Lowered Energy Bills

Crawl space encapsulation creates an effective barrier between the ground and your home, reducing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. This results in more consistent indoor temperatures and lowered energy consumption & bills.

Our Process

01

Our expert team conducts a thorough inspection of your crawl space, assessing foundation integrity, possible ground water issues, and measuring walls and floors to determine the required amount of BrightWrap.

FAQs

  • What is crawl space encapsulation?

    Crawl space encapsulation is a process that involves sealing the crawl space from external elements, such as moisture and air, by installing a heavy-duty barrier (like BrightWrap) on the walls and floor. It also includes installing a humidity control ventilation system (such as HumiFresh) to maintain optimal humidity levels. Encapsulation helps prevent mold growth, reduce humidity, and improve overall indoor air quality.

  • How does encapsulation improve indoor air quality?

    Encapsulating your crawl space helps to prevent outside air and moisture from entering your home, reducing the risk of mold and mildew growth. By maintaining a dry and sealed environment, it reduces musty odors and allergens, leading to improved air quality.


  • How long does the crawl space encapsulation process take?

    The duration of the encapsulation process varies depending on the size of the crawl space and the extent of any required remediation work. Generally, encapsulation can be completed within a few days to a week.


  • Can I use my crawl space for storage after encapsulation?

    Yes, once your crawl space has been encapsulated, it becomes a cleaner and more stable environment suitable for storage. However, it is important to store items properly and avoid overloading the space.


  • What is the cost of crawl space encapsulation services?

    The cost of encapsulation services depends on various factors, including the size of the crawl space, the materials used, and any additional repair or remediation work required. It is best to schedule a free onsite assessment to get an accurate estimate for your specific situation.


  • Is there any maintenance required after encapsulation?

    Minimal maintenance is needed after encapsulation. Regularly inspect the barrier for any damage and ensure the humidity control ventilation system is functioning properly. Address any issues promptly to maintain the effectiveness of the encapsulation.


  • How do I know if my crawl space needs encapsulation?

    Signs that your crawl space may need encapsulation include musty odors, uneven floors, increased allergy symptoms, and visible mold or mildew growth. A professional assessment can determine if encapsulation is necessary.


  • Can crawl space encapsulation help with pest control?

    Yes, encapsulation can help deter pests by creating a sealed environment that eliminates entry points and reduces the availability of food sources (such as mold and damp wood). It also makes the crawl space less hospitable for pests by maintaining a dry and controlled environment.
