What is crawl space encapsulation?

Crawl space encapsulation is a moisture control system that seals your crawl space from ground moisture and outside air. It typically includes a reinforced vapor barrier on floors and walls, sealed vents and penetrations, insulation where needed, and often a dehumidifier to keep humidity controlled year-round.

Why is my crawl space humid in summer?

Richmond summers bring high humidity. Vented crawl spaces draw in humid outdoor air, which condenses on cool surfaces like pipes and floor joists. That creates conditions for mold growth and wood rot. Encapsulation seals the crawl space from outside air and helps control moisture at the source.
