Crawlspace Encapsulation That Stops Moisture, Mold & Energy Loss

When your crawlspace is exposed to moisture, humidity, and unconditioned air, your home’s comfort, air quality, and energy efficiency suffer. An unsealed crawlspace can lead to mold growth, musty odors, cold floors, pest issues, and higher energy bills; often without homeowners realizing where the problems start.

Everhome specializes in solving these issues with professional crawlspace encapsulation solutions designed to protect your home from the ground up. Using high-quality vapor barriers, sealing methods, insulation upgrades, and optional dehumidification, we create a clean, dry, and healthy crawlspace environment that supports the entire home.

Your Crawlspace Impacts Comfort, Air Quality & Energy Bills

Mold Growth & Pest Activity

A damp, unsealed crawlspace creates the perfect environment for both mold and unwanted pests. Moisture encourages mold to grow, which leads to musty odors inside the home. At the same time, gaps and humidity attract insects and rodents looking for shelter. Encapsulation blocks outside air, controls moisture, and seals entry points.

Uncomfortable temperatures

Your crawlspace directly affects the temperatures inside your home. When the crawlspace is open or unsealed, outside air moves freely under your floors. Encapsulation creates a controlled, insulated environment under the house, helping maintain consistent temperatures throughout every room.

High energy bills

When humid or unconditioned air enters your crawlspace, it makes your HVAC work harder to keep the home comfortable. Encapsulation seals the space, reduces air leakage, and helps your system run more efficiently. This can lower monthly utility costs.

Sagging or Soft Floors

High humidity and long-term moisture exposure can weaken floor joists and support beams, causing floors to feel bouncy, uneven, or soft. By controlling moisture and creating a dry environment, encapsulation helps protect the wood structure beneath your home and prevents further damage.

Our Complete Crawlspace Protection & Performance Services

Every crawlspace is different. That’s why Everhome provides a full system of solutions designed to work together to control moisture, seal air leaks, and improve the performance of your home.

Duct Encapsulation & Sealing

We seal and insulate crawlspace ductwork to prevent energy loss and stop humid, dirty air from entering your HVAC system.

Air Sealing

All vents, gaps, and penetrations are sealed to keep outside air, pests, and humidity out.

Heavy-Duty Vapor Barrier

We install a reinforced vapor barrier across the floor and walls to block ground moisture and create a sealed, protected environment.

Mold Prevention Measures

By controlling moisture and sealing the space, encapsulation prevents mold growth and protects wood framing.

Insulation Upgrades

We replace wet or damaged insulation and install insulation designed to perform in an encapsulated crawlspace.

Drainage & Water Management

If water intrusion is present, we install drainage solutions to redirect water and keep the crawlspace dry.

Optional Dehumidifier Installation

A crawlspace dehumidifier maintains safe humidity levels and provides added protection against mold and structural damage.

The Benefits of Crawlspace Encapsulation

Crawlspace encapsulation does more than just cover the ground; it creates a healthier, more efficient foundation for your entire home. When moisture, air leakage, and temperature swings are controlled at the source, your home becomes noticeably more comfortable and better protected. Here are some of the key benefits homeowners experience:

Better Air Quality

Up to 50% of the air inside your home comes from the crawlspace. By sealing and drying the space, encapsulation reduces allergens, mold spores, and musty odors that can travel upward into your living areas.

Lower Energy Bills

A sealed crawlspace reduces the amount of outside air entering your home. This helps your HVAC system run more efficiently, often lowering heating and cooling costs year-round.

Consistent Indoor Temperatures

By insulating and sealing the crawlspace, you prevent cold floors in winter and excess humidity in summer. This helps keep temperatures stable across all rooms.

Protection Against Moisture Damage

Encapsulation prevents water vapor from entering the crawlspace, helping protect wooden beams, floor joists, and insulation from decay, rot, and long-term structural issues.

Fewer Pest Problems

A clean, sealed environment is far less inviting to insects and rodents. Encapsulation helps reduce entry points and eliminates the damp conditions pests prefer.

Increased Home Value

A properly encapsulated crawlspace contributes to a healthier foundation, improved efficiency, and long-term durability. Features that are attractive to both current homeowners and future buyers.
