Crawlspace encapsulation helps protect your home from harmful invaders.
The crawlspace of your home is one of those areas you likely don’t think about very often. After all, who really stops to ponder what’s going on underneath their home? However, if you’re experiencing issues with excessive moisture, pest infestations, mold growth, or respiratory problems from poor indoor air quality, your crawlspace may be to blame. At Howell Healthy Homes, we offer crawlspace encapsulation services to help eliminate these types of problems and keep your home healthy and comfortable.
Crawlspace encapsulation is a fairly simple process, but it requires expert skill to do it correctly. During the encapsulation process, our team covers the entire crawlspace with a vapor barrier to seal it off and provide the extra layer of protection your home needs. Crawlspace encapsulation not only helps keep moisture, pests, and contaminants like mold and radon out of your living spaces, but it can also improve the energy efficiency of your home by helping prevent drafts.
Our team has extensive experience with crawlspace encapsulation, and we’ll work with you to ensure your home is as protected as possible. If you are already struggling with the side effects of moisture problems, such as mold growth in your home, we can also assist you with that.

What are some signs that I might need crawlspace encapsulation services?
If your crawlspace is unsealed, the dark, moist, and humid area can easily become a breeding ground for mold and unwanted pests. If you smell musty odors near your crawlspace, your home often feels humid, or you’ve been dealing with recurring pest infestations, the root cause of these issues might be your crawlspace. We encourage you to contact us for a professional assessment of your crawlspace if it isn’t thoroughly sealed already.
How does crawlspace encapsulation work?
The purpose of crawlspace encapsulation is to completely seal off this area from the outdoors to prevent excess moisture from getting into the space. Our high-quality encapsulation materials and techniques will offer long-lasting protection against moisture, humidity, pests, and other hazards that might impact your home’s safety and comfort. Using durable vapor barriers, we will thoroughly seal off your crawlspace and create a dry, protected area that you can use as a storage area without worrying about mold, mildew, or moisture damage.
Can I encapsulate my crawlspace on my own?
Although you can purchase vapor barriers and attempt this type of project yourself, we strongly recommend leaving it to the professionals for best results. If you fail to completely seal the space or use the wrong materials, you may be back at square one within a few months. Instead of trying to tackle it on your own, contact us for the permanent solutions you deserve.
