Crawl Space Encapsulation in Tallahassee, FL

• Removing debris, old torn plastic and wet material from the crawl space
• Correcting standing water or drainage problems before anything is sealed
• A reinforced liner across the soil, mechanically fastened and sealed at the seams
• Liner carried up and sealed to piers and foundation walls
• Sealing vents and other openings where appropriate for the design of the home
• Humidity control — usually a properly sized crawl space dehumidifier

• Musty odor in closets, hallways or near floor vents
• High humidity readings under the home, or condensation on ductwork and pipes
• Water, damp soil or mud after heavy seasonal rain
• Old black plastic that is torn, displaced or covering only part of the ground
• Floors that feel cool, damp or uneven in spots

Traditional foundation vents were meant to dry a crawl space out with outside air. For much of the year in Tallahassee that outside air is warmer and far more humid than the crawl space itself, so venting can add moisture rather than remove it. When that humid air meets cooler surfaces under the home, moisture condenses on wood, ducts and insulation.

Sealing the space and controlling humidity inside it breaks that cycle. The result is a drier, cleaner area under the home, more stable wood moisture content, and a crawl space you can actually use for storage or service access.

Every recommendation starts with an inspection. We measure what is happening under the home — moisture, water intrusion, existing barrier condition, ventilation, drainage — and then walk you through options in plain language, including which items are necessary now and which are optional.
