Crawl Space Encapsulation by AquaShield Plumbing and Moisture Solutions

A damp, unsealed crawl space can lead to mold, pests, and structural damage, compromising your home’s health and value. As a crawl space encapsulation specialist, AquaShield Plumbing and Moisture Solutions provides professional crawl space encapsulation services to seal, waterproof, and dehumidify your crawl space, creating a clean, dry, and energy-efficient environment. Our expert solutions protect your home and improve indoor air quality.

What Is Crawl Space Encapsulation?

Crawl space encapsulation is a comprehensive process that seals your crawl space from moisture, outside air, and pests. It involves installing a high-quality vapor barrier, sealing vents and doors, adding drainage systems, and using dehumidifiers to regulate humidity. Unlike simple vapor barriers, encapsulation creates a fully climate-controlled space, preventing mold, wood rot, and high energy bills. AquaShield’s advanced techniques ensure long-lasting moisture control and a healthier home.

Signs Your Crawl Space Needs Encapsulation

Moisture issues in your crawl space can affect your entire home, as up to 50% of indoor air comes from below. Schedule a crawl space encapsulation inspection if you notice:

• Musty Odors: Damp, moldy smells indicate excess moisture or mold growth requiring professional mold prevention.
• High Humidity Indoors: Humid air in your home, especially above 50%, often stems from an unsealed crawl space.
• Mold or Mildew: Visible mold or fungi in the crawl space signals a need for encapsulation and mold prevention.
• Structural Damage: Rotting floor joists or warped wood suggest moisture-related decay.
• Pest Infestations: Spiders, rodents, or termites thrive in damp crawl spaces, attracted by moisture.
• High Energy Bills: Unsealed crawl spaces force HVAC systems to work harder, increasing costs.
