The Basic Process of Encapsulating a Crawl Space 

As you might guess, this particular home improvement project isn’t your basic DIY on the weekend chore. It’s also not a one-person job. To be most effective, a crawl space encapsulation should be handled by professionals.

Assessing and cleaning the crawl space

The clean-up is important: While the barrier installed is strong and sturdy, rocks and sharp debris could damage it and are best removed before installation.

Measuring and cutting the barrier material to fit the room

This is where the old, “measure twice, cut once,” rule comes in handy: The material needs to allow for proper overlap and sealing.

Encapsulating the crawl space

Typically, the barrier material is installed on the foundation walls and ceiling first, and then the floor. Particular attention must be paid to the floor joists.

Maintaining proper humidity

Once the crawl space is fully encapsulated, it’s important to maintain the proper level of humidity in the room. Crawl space dehumidifiers can be installed to keep the humidity level at a healthy 45-50%.

 

Why does it matter?

Crawl space encapsulation creates a more comfortable environment throughout your home and helps you avoid potentially costly issues including reducing the risk of mold, lessening the likelihood of termites, insects, or other pests, reducing the risk of flooding, improving your home’s air quality, and helping to maintain proper humidity.
