Signs You Need Crawl Space Encapsulation

Moisture Problems

One of the most common reasons for crawl space encapsulation is moisture accumulation. An excess of moisture can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and musty odors.

When you encapsulate your crawl space, you keep moisture out and give your home structural integrity and eliminate odors.

Pest Infestations

An unsealed crawl space is like an invitation to pests such as rodents, insects, and termites.

Encapsulation can help deter these pests by sealing off their entire points and making your crawl space less hospitable.

Energy Inefficiency

An unsealed crawl space contributes to energy loss in your home because it allows conditioned air to escape and unconditioned air to enter.

Crawl space encapsulation with proper insulation can improve energy efficiency and reduce heating and cooling costs.

Crawl Space Encapsulation Solutions

Vapor Barrier

Often made of polyethylene plastic, this barrier is installed on the floor and walls of the crawl space to prevent moisture from the ground and walls from infiltrating the crawl space.

Insulation

In the humid climate of Virginia and Maryland, we oftentimes need to install insulation on the walls and/or underside of the floor, above the crawl space.

Moisture Management

In the event that water leaks past our waterproofing methods, we need to install a proper drainage system to deal with the excess moisture.

Sealing and Ventilation

Lastly, our team will locate any minor penetrations in the crawl space and seal them to prevent outside air from entering. Proper ventilation is necessary to ensure proper airflow to prevent future moisture problems.

"BMW provided 1 of 4 estimates we received for encapsulation of our crawlspace. 2 companies used high pressure sales tactics for their pre-packaged services. BMW right-sized the work for our project, did not pressure us, and came in >30% cheaper than the other companies. Since they completed the work, we've seen no evidence of moisture in our crawlspace."

"The work was completed on time, and for exactly what the estimate said it would be. Before the work was performed, our basement walls always felt damp, and the walls were covered in calcium deposits (yellowish crystalline deposits). Now, our basement is warm and dry! We couldn’t be happier with how the job came out. Thanks Basement Masters!"

"Great service and communications from the company. We managed to get our house done in advanced of the potential date. Help was adequate and all questions were answered."
