Your crawl space plays an often-overlooked but critical role in the overall health of your home, housing essential systems like plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. However, it’s also one of the areas most vulnerable to moisture problems, which can lead to serious issues like mold, structural damage, and unhealthy living conditions. To prevent these problems, our Hillsborough, NC, crawl space encapsulation services are tailored to give your home the protection it needs for years to come.

What sets our process apart:

  • Detailed Crawl Space Assessment: We start by carefully inspecting the crawl space to understand its current condition, checking for signs of trouble like water damage or mold growth.
  • Moisture Control: Using advanced tools, we measure humidity levels and pinpoint sources of excess moisture that could cause long-term damage.
  • Foundation Check: We examine your home’s foundation for any weaknesses, cracks, or gaps where water might be seeping in, ensuring we address all potential risks.
  • Removal of Affected Materials: If we find any damp or damaged materials, they’ll be safely removed to eliminate further risk of mold or decay.
  • Restoration and Repairs: After the inspection, any areas needing attention will be repaired or reinforced to protect your home from future issues.
  • Post-Service Support: We don’t just fix the problem and leave — we provide ongoing assistance and check-ins to make sure your home stays dry and safe.

Choosing to encapsulate your crawl space with our expert team in Hillsborough will not only help you avoid costly repairs but also create a healthier environment for your family, both now and in the future.

What is a Crawl Space Encapsulation?

Encapsulating your crawl space involves sealing it with a heavy-duty moisture barrier, insulation, and often a dehumidifier. This process keeps moisture, mold, and pests out, protecting your home’s foundation and improving indoor air quality. Watch our video to see how crawl space encapsulation can help protect and enhance your home’s efficiency and comfort.

Why Encapsulating Your Crawl Space is a Smart Move

  • Stop Mold Before It Starts: Keep mold from developing beneath your home and spreading to your indoor spaces, protecting both your property and your family’s health.
  • Protect Important Systems: Shield your HVAC, water heater, and other key home systems from excess moisture that can shorten their lifespan and lead to costly repairs.
  • Breathe Cleaner Air: Improve the overall air quality inside your home by reducing dampness in the crawl space, which can introduce allergens and pollutants.
  • Guard Your Home’s Structure: Prevent serious damage like wood rot in your subflooring and support beams, which can compromise your home’s stability over time.
  • Boost Energy Efficiency: Better insulation in the crawl space means your home stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer, cutting down on energy usage and saving you money.
  • Increase Property Value: Homes with encapsulated crawl spaces are more appealing to buyers, adding value and marketability when it’s time to sell.
  • Deter Pests and Wildlife: Keep critters like rodents and insects from turning your crawl space into their home, reducing the chance of infestations.
  • Extra Storage: With a dry and moisture-free crawl space, you’ll have the option of using it for additional storage that’s easily accessible year-round.

Encapsulating your crawl space is an investment that pays off in multiple ways, from protecting your home’s structure to enhancing comfort and safety.

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.
