Crawlspace Encapsulations
The Best Long-Term Solution For Your Crawl Space Is A Crawl Space Encapsulation!
This solution addresses all areas of concern related to humidity and moisture in the crawlspace. An encapsulation essentially means your crawlspace is sealed from the ground, walls, outside air, and water intrusion. Encapsulating the crawl space rose in popularity during the early 2000s. Several studies that indicated residential homes experienced significant benefits with encapsulation sparked the rapid growth in the industry.
What Is Crawl Space Encapsulation?
Crawlspace encapsulation is the process of sealing off your crawl space so that it’s impervious to outside forces like moisture and humidity. This is done by installing a vapor barrier on the ground, and walls, and sealing the crawlspace. Once the vapor barrier is in place, any potential moisture or humidity will be prevented from damaging your home. In addition to preventing moisture damage, encapsulating your crawl space also has a number of other benefits. For instance, it can help improve indoor air quality by reducing the amount of mold and mildew in your home. It can also help you save money on your energy bills by keeping the heat in the winter and the cool air in the summer.

Here at NC Foam Pros, we understand that your home is your sanctuary. It’s a place where you should feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. Unfortunately, sometimes our homes can fall victim to outside forces beyond our control—like moisture and humidity. If your home has a crawlspace, it’s especially susceptible to these problems. That’s why we offer crawl space encapsulation services to help fortify your home against moisture damage.
How Much Does A Crawlspace Encapsulation Cost?
Encapsulation cost can vary on several different things:
- Square footage of the crawl space
- Wall height of the crawl space
- Amount of mold/fungal growth on the wood joist
- Condition of the insulation
- Existing debris in the crawl space
- And much more
Every solution is tailored to fit the crawl space, and every home is different. The cost for encapsulation can go from $4,000 all the way up to $24,000 depending on the variables above. The best way to find out is to receive a free assessment and quote on the encapsulation project.
Is A Crawlspace Encapsulation Worth The Cost?
There’s no denying that crawl space encapsulation can be a costly home improvement project. But what many homeowners don’t realize is that the benefits of encapsulation far outweigh the initial investment.
A properly sealed and insulated crawl space will do wonders for your home’s energy efficiency, helping you to save money on your heating and cooling bills year after year. In addition, crawl space encapsulation will also help protect your home from moisture damage, mold growth, and wood rot.
Moisture damage under your home is no joke. Besides the musty smell and the unsightly water stains, moisture can cause serious damage to your home’s structural integrity. And once mold starts to grow, it can be nearly impossible to get rid of.
Crawl space encapsulation will create a barrier between your home and the crawl space, preventing moisture and mold from causing any damage. In addition, encapsulation will also insulate your crawl space, making your home more comfortable and preventing energy loss.
If you’re considering crawl space encapsulation, don’t let the cost scare you. The long-term benefits of crawl space encapsulation are well worth the initial investment.
