A damp crawl space does more than smell musty. Moisture there can rot wood, rust ductwork, and drift up into the rooms you live in.
We seal your crawl space with a vapor barrier, sealed vents, and a dehumidifier, and add radon mitigation when your home needs it.
Think of it as a vapor barrier, plus. Every encapsulation we install has three parts:
Just because you can’t see the moisture in your crawl space doesn’t mean it isn’t there. Watch for:
A vapor barrier on its own only covers the dirt. Encapsulation closes up the whole space:
Crawl space homes in Middle Tennessee can have both a moisture problem and a radon problem. You don’t have to choose one team for each:
The crawl space under your home affects the air you breathe, so who does the work matters:

We encapsulate crawl spaces across Middle Tennessee.
It is a vapor barrier plus more. We seal a heavy liner over the crawl space floor and walls, seal the vents, and add a dehumidifier, so the space stays dry instead of pulling in damp outside air.
A vapor barrier covers the dirt floor. Encapsulation goes further: it also seals the vents and the walls and controls the humidity that is left with a dehumidifier.
Open vents let humid outside air into the crawl space, where it condenses on cool surfaces. Sealing them keeps that moisture out and keeps outside air infiltration to a minimum.
Even a sealed crawl space holds some moisture. The dehumidifier keeps humidity in check year-round, which protects wood, ductwork, and pipes.
Not always. Encapsulation can be done on its own. If a radon test shows elevated levels, we can add radon mitigation to the sealed liner, so one team handles both.
It can. A sealed, dry crawl space lets less outside air in, so your HVAC system does not have to work as hard, and your floors feel warmer in the winter.
Every crawl space is different: size, condition, and access all affect the price. We inspect it and give you a free estimate before any work begins.
