Homeowners in Durham frequently encounter problems related to their crawl spaces due to the region’s humid climate and variable weather patterns. These conditions can lead to excessive moisture accumulation in crawl spaces, resulting in mold growth, wood rot, and pest infestations. Such issues compromise the structural integrity of homes and negatively impact indoor air quality.

Elite Moisture Solutions specializes in crawl space encapsulation services designed to address these concerns effectively. By sealing off crawl spaces with high-quality vapor barriers, the encapsulation process prevents moisture infiltration and creates a healthier, more stable environment. This service not only protects the home’s foundation but also enhances energy efficiency and improves overall air quality, providing Durham homeowners with peace of mind and long-term protection for their properties.

Benefits of Encapsulating Your Crawl Space

As a homeowner, it’s crucial to take into account the benefits of encapsulating your crawl space. Doing so not only extends the lifespan of your crawl space equipment, such as your HVAC, water heater and plumbing, but it also enhances the quality of the air inside your home.

Encapsulating your crawl space additionally prevents mold growth beneath your home, which can cause structural wood and subflooring to rot. It also boosts insulation beneath your home, making it more energy-efficient and decreasing your utility bills.

Furthermore, encapsulating your crawl space raises your home’s resale value and marketability by adding an extra barrier against external pests, reducing wildlife and insect infestations while providing moisture-free storage space. Ultimately, encapsulating your crawl space is a wise investment in your home’s health and longevity.

I had mold under my crawlspace and had several people come out and look at it. All said I needed to have it encapsulated and I got quotes from 3 people. One barely told me what was going to happen and one was about 3k less than Elite was. But no one took the time to explain exactly what they were going to do, how they were going to do it and why they were doing it that way Chris did. He was not only professional, but friendly, knew what he was talking about, and offered no pressure at all. He seemed to truly want to do the job right for me. And his staff completely came through! They were also very knowledgeable, so, so clean and so kind! I would have them do work for me any day of the week! When I say clean, there was not a spec of trash left after they were done each day. They were extremely respectful of me and my property, and even of the black snake that took up residence under my home, letting him work his way out instead of killing him. All in all, this company was one I would easily pay more to work with because they do the job right. I don't worry about the work done under my house, because I know it was done by a company with integrity, kindness and respect. Thank you Chris and Elite Moisture Solutions!

The company installed a vapor guard and dehumidifier in my crawl space under the house. They pulled some junk I had under the house and coordinated the pick-up for me. They also tore down the old insulation which was falling down and had new insulation installed. They did an excellent job and were very professional. I highly recommend them to anyone.

Our home was built in 1994 and the old (primitive) method of crawl space grading and a corner drainage pipe stopped working (the pipe clogged after 30 years). Chris and his team, who are very professional, assessed the situation and presented available options (as well as inspecting for mold). We decided to go with the full encapsalation and our crawl space moisture issues as well as the potential for mold are gone. Highly recommended and it was a pleasure to support a local business.

I was very pleased with the work performed by Elite Moisture Solutions recently. They proposed a solution for my crawl space which included a complete gut of the existing vapor barrier, installation of a new, thicker vapor barrier, dehumidifier and new insulation that was lacking before. Immediately the smell of a humid, musty crawl space was gone which also alleviated the musty smell in my home that would surface when the HVAC kicked on. Well worth the cost and the team was extremely professional and the craftsmanship was best in class! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have similar work performed on their home.

There's a reason Chris, the owner, has the word Elite in his company name. Chris and his team (Ben is amazing!) are top notch. They do what they say, when they say, how they say it. If you're looking for a professional crawlspace company, gives these guys a call. You'll be glad you did.
