Crawl Space Encapsulation

Dry, Clean, Protected From the Ground Up

Your crawlspace might be out of sight, but it plays a big role in your home’s health. Moisture and standing water can lead to mold growth, wood rot, musty odors, and even structural issues. A damp crawlspace can also attract insects and rodents.

Encapsulation seals your crawlspace with a heavy-duty vapor barrier, blocking moisture and outside air. The result is a cleaner, drier space beneath your home – and a noticeable improvement in indoor air quality and energy efficiency.

Signs of Trouble Below

If you notice musty smells, sagging floors, increased humidity, or rising energy bills, your crawlspace may be the culprit. These are common red flags of an unsealed or poorly ventilated crawlspace allowing moisture to creep in.

Tomlinson Cannon provides thorough inspections and complete encapsulation systems, including drainage, sump pumps, dehumidifiers, and sealing. We tailor each solution to your home’s needs, so you get long-term protection without unnecessary extras.

What is Encapsulation?

Crawl spaces are humid and damp as a result of the earth’s moisture. Crawl space encapsulation seals off the earth from your crawlspace with a thick, anit-microbial liner. When paired with a dehumidifier the result is a dry, clean space.
