Benefits of Encapsulating your Crawlspace

Encapsulating your crawl space offers a range of advantages that protect both your home’s structural integrity and indoor air quality. By creating a sealed environment, moisture is controlled, which helps prevent mold growth under your home and throughout your living spaces. This, in turn, preserves the functionality and lifespan of critical systems like HVAC units and water heaters, which often sit in or near the crawl space.

Beyond preventing mold and equipment damage, encapsulation also boosts energy efficiency by improving insulation beneath your home, resulting in lower energy bills. Additionally, it protects the wooden framework and subflooring from rot and decay, further extending your home’s longevity. A properly encapsulated crawl space can even increase your home’s value and appeal to potential buyers by providing a cleaner, more efficient, and pest-resistant environment.

Finally, crawl space encapsulation creates a dry, usable storage area that keeps your belongings safe from moisture and pests. Overall, this process not only enhances the comfort of your home but also ensures long-term savings and protection.

The Elite Difference in our Crawl Space Encapsulation

crawl space encapsulation with dehumidifier

At Elite Moisture Solutions, we go beyond standard crawl space encapsulation by offering a detailed, multi-step process that ensures long-lasting protection for your home. We begin by removing any standing water and debris to create a clean working environment. Next, we meticulously seal off all entry points—blocking vents, gaps, cracks, and openings to keep moisture from infiltrating the crawl space.

To further protect your home, we create an exterior moisture barrier to prevent water intrusion. If mold is present, we perform mold remediation to ensure your crawl space is free from contamination. Damaged insulation is replaced to help maintain a conditioned environment, while French drains or sump pumps are installed when necessary to manage water flow.

For added durability, we install reinforced liners that provide a long-term moisture barrier, and a dehumidifier is added to keep humidity levels in check. To top it all off, our services are backed by a 25 year warranty, giving you peace of mind that your home is protected for years to come.

Crawl Space Encapsulation & Repair: Your Key Questions Answered

What are the most common signs that a crawl space has a moisture problem?

Common signs include musty odors in the home, high indoor humidity, condensation on windows, increased energy bills, pest infestations, sagging floors, or visible mold within the crawl space.

When is a simple crawl space repair sufficient, and when is full encapsulation the better solution?

Simple repairs, such as addressing isolated water intrusions or replacing a few damaged wood members, are sufficient for contained issues. Full encapsulation becomes the superior solution for widespread moisture problems, persistent high humidity, chronic mold growth, recurring pest infestations, or when seeking comprehensive long-term protection and energy efficiency.

What exactly is crawl space encapsulation, and how does the process work?

Crawl space encapsulation involves sealing the crawl space from the outside environment by installing a heavy-duty vapor barrier on the ground and walls, sealing vents, and often adding a dehumidifier to control humidity.

What types of crawl space problems typically require just a repair versus needing a complete encapsulation?

Isolated issues like a single point of water entry, a cracked vent, or minor wood rot on one joist might only need repair. Encapsulation is typically needed for pervasive dampness, continuous high humidity, widespread mold, persistent pest issues, or significant energy inefficiencies.

How long can a professionally installed crawl space encapsulation system be expected to last?

A high-quality crawl space encapsulation system can last 15-25 years or more, depending on materials used and proper maintenance. Many reputable providers also offer crawl space encapsulation warranties covering both materials and labor for added peace of mind regarding the investment.

				I hired Elite Moisture Systems to encapsulate the crawl space under my home. Actually, I began by asking Elite and three other companies to assess the situation under my home after being told by my flooring contractors that wood rot and mold issues existed. I knew next to nothing about the conditions under a house here in hot and humid North Carolina. Over the next few weeks, I was properly educated. The four companies, including Elite came out and gave me feedback after examining the crawl space. Three were extremely professional, and all three gave a similar diagnosis about what needed to be done. I received four bids to correct the existing issues. Elite Moisture Systems' bid was not the least expensive or the most expensive. It was, however, the most comprehensive and the one that seemed most likely to correct the problems in the short-term and in the long-term. Chris Toro, the company owner, spoke to me on several occasions and answered my questions in a respectful manner in spite of my lack of knowledge. He educated me about encapsulation, mold remediation, wood moisture levels, etc. I did my own research to verify that what he was telling me was factual. It was. The crew who did the project consisted of Shaliek, Jeziah, and Dylan. They arrived punctually for five straight days and worked diligently to do the work called for in our contract. They cleaned the crawl space, removed old insulation, eradicated existing mold, lined the crawl space floor, insulated the foundation walls, dug a French drain, added a sump pump, installed a dehumidifier, etc. (Not necessarily in that order). After all that they cleaned up and hauled away the trash created. Shaliek spoke to me daily about what was being done and answered my questions. It's been about a month since the full encapsulation of my crawl space was completed. I can tell that my home is cooler inside, and I can see when I peak my head under the house that the work done was done well. I thank Chris, Shaliek and crew, and Elite Moisture Systems for the professional work they did, for the courteous and respectful interactions we shared, and for a dry crawl space for the foreseeable future absent rotting wood and mold right under my family's living space.

				We recently had our crawlspace encapsulated by Elite Moisture Solutions, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! The team was prompt, hardworking, and did an excellent job from start to finish. Their attention to detail was outstanding, and even other professionals working under our house, like HVAC technicians, have complimented the quality of their work.

				I began researching how to best treat for high humidity in my 23 y/o house and crawlspace with the problems of condensation and wood mold and drooping floor insulation in the crawlspace caused by this situation. Then after interviewing 4 companies I chose Elite Moisture Solutions. All companies were comparable in price and had few differences in the materials they used to encapsulate. Chris, the owner of Elite was easy to talk to, timely in answering my request for an evaluation and seemed knowledgeable about the materials and policies of this largely unregulated industry with relatively new companies entering. I have concerns about the lack of skills and training in many businesses compared with 30 years ago. Chris allayed my concerns by describing his team and their training and longevity within his company. The process was scheduled within 2 weeks. The team under the management of Ben were exceptional, working together cohesively with respect for each other, with clear concise instructions from Ben who was diligent and answered my every question. This is a huge exhausting job and yet the team worked cheerfully anticipating what would be needed next. They removed insulation and the inadequate vapor barrier, leveled the ground, disinfected the mildew all prior to sealing the vents, insulating the walls and covering the floor then installing the new dehumidifier. Research revealed that air in our first level of the home is permeated with air from the crawl space. This was confirmed the night we slept without the vapor barrier when it smelled like we were camping on dirt! Of course now the house has low humidity and no odors since all has been sealed. It is difficult to think about what a nice vacation I could have taken with the cost of this project but it was the right thing to do for our own health and for the best resale of our home one day. I am so thankful to Chris, Ben, Shaliek and Kaya at Elite Moisture Solutions for their commitment to doing Quality work with integrity. Thank you.
