What Is Crawl Space Encapsulation?

Crawl space encapsulation is a process for sealing and insulating the crawl space in your home. It involves creating a moisture-resistant barrier with sump pumps, dehumidifiers, vapor barriers, and vents to prevent moisture, pests, and outside air from causing damage to your crawl space.

What are the Benefits of
Crawl Space Encapsulation

Encapsulating your crawl space is an investment that often pays for itself. At The Basement Doctor, we specialize in the installation and maintenance of crawl space encapsulation systems that offer numerous benefits, such as:

  1. Stair Step Cracks

    Tech was very knowledgeable and professional. Well pleased with the service. I had difficulty trying to get into the system to do my review while tech was here but I can assure you we tried for a bit while he was here. It just wouldn't let me in to do the survey.
