As homes with crawl spaces became more popular in the U.S., builders utilized old foundation designs that were capable of being built faster and cheaper than traditional basements. Unfortunately, crawl spaces had some very prevalent issues such as mold, odors, dry rot and structural decay because of the crawl space vents, once thought to prevent and solve these very same problems.
The truth is that they create more problems than they solve.

High Humidity
Dirt-floored and vented crawl spaces are prone to moisture, and this happens by design. The dirt floor allows groundwater to evaporate in the area, and the crawl space vents allow humid air from the outside into the crawl.
Our advanced encapsulation system completely seals and isolates your crawl space making it drier and healthier.
Mold, Odors & Structural Decay
Crawl spaces are notorious for having serious moisture problems that cannot be solved with conventional vents, crawl space vent fans and a thin plastic sheet on the floor as vapor barrier.

FAQ
Do crawl space vent fans work?
Modern building science findings state that the crawl space vents, once thought to help keep the crawl space dry are a major source of moisture problems by allowing humid air from the outside into the space. Crawl space vent fans, by sucking even more outside air in, will significantly amplify that effect. Crawl space vents should be closed and the crawl space sealed, encapsulated and dehumidified, instead.
Does crawl space encapsulation help mitigate radon?
The crawl space liner creates a physical barrier against radon intrusion but does not replace an actual radon mitigation system.
Is crawl space encapsulation safe when your home has high radon levels?
If your home tested high for radon levels, the best course of action is to combine crawl space encapsulation with a radon mitigation system. They work together. One is not effective against radon without the other.
How do I keep pests and wildlife away from my crawl space?
While there is not a sure-fire way, besides periodic inspection, to make sure your crawl space is free of pests and critters, crawl space is a powerful deterrent. Not only it provides a physical barrier, but a clean, dry crawl space offers none of the elements that tend to attract insects, strays, and wildlife to your crawl.
