What is crawl space encapsulation
Crawl space encapsulation is the process of sealing the crawl space to control moisture and humidity. This typically includes a heavy-duty vapor barrier on the floor and walls, sealing vents and gaps, improving drainage if water is present, and adding a dehumidifier when needed. Encapsulation helps prevent mold and mildew, reduces musty odors, improves comfort, and protects structural components like joists and subflooring.
