Benefits of Crawl Space Encapsulation

Crawl space encapsulation comes with many different benefits. Since crawl spaces are typically “out of sight, out of mind” for most homeowners, encapsulation provides an easy solution to keep your crawl space healthy with minimal maintenance.

Avoid Mold and Musty Odors

Encapsulating your crawl space can quickly eliminate the ability for mold to grow. We install a completely waterproof barrier that keeps all moisture out and gets rid of any potential mold growth.

The waterproof barrier also prevents any musty odors from forming in your crawl space since it creates a completely dry, mold-free, and odor-free environment. Not only do our Erie crawl space waterproofing services protect the air in your crawl space, but also protects the air in your home.

Avoid Pest Infestation

Bugs and pests love to live in dark, damp places. Encapsulating your crawl space creates a bright, dry, healthy environment that becomes inhospitable to them. If you notice an increase in unwanted guests in your crawl space, an encapsulation system will quickly force them to find another home.

Gain Storage Space

As an added bonus, an encapsulated crawl space creates much more storage room for you and your family. The waterproof barrier will protect your belongings from water damage and prevent unwanted pests from damaging your belongings.

A lot of homeowners with an encapsulated crawl space use the extra space to store outdoor equipment or gardening tools to free up garage space.

Temperature Control

Notice cold floors inside your home? Crawl spaces have very little insulation on their own, which can be difficult to control temperature and cause cold floors inside your home. To help save on your energy bills, consider having our local Erie crawl space insulation team perform encapsulation in order to maintain temperature control in your home.

Installation Process

Our Erie crawl space encapsulation experts insure our systems can typically be installed in 1-2 days. Our team at Total Foundation Solutions has fine-tuned our processes to provide our customers with a complete, quality encapsulation system.

Cover All Vents

One of the first steps is to seal off all vents or any spaces that allow outside air to enter the crawl space. Depending on your crawl space’s situation, this may require installing airtight doors and vent covers. If this step is missed, it could allow humid or cold air to enter your crawl space underneath the vapor barrier.

Remove Any Standing Water

Removing any existing water problems is imperative before installing the encapsulation system. You want to make sure any standing water or waterproofing issues are taken care of before the encapsulation system is installed.

Repair Any Structural Issues

If your crawl space has structural issues, you want to make sure those are repaired before the encapsulation system is installed.
