Crawl Space Solution

At Zhe Industries, we offer complete encapsulation solutions for your crawl space. We start by carefully inspecting the space for any damaged areas that need to be treated. We then seal any floor vents and wall penetrations with foam sealant. We also attach moisture barriers to the walls and a reinforced vapor barrier over the entire floor area.

Dehumidifier Installation

Next, we install an energy-efficient dehumidifier and seal the perimeter to create a conditioned space. This seals the space, effectively removing humid air and ending mold growth and wood rot, reducing allergens and making your home much healthier. An unconditioned crawl space restricts airflow, creating the perfect mold breeding ground. Mold spores require moisture to feed; as you may have guessed, your humid crawl space provides that.

Water in your crawl space also accelerates the natural decay of your wooden joists, resulting in compromised support for your home.

Is Your Crawl Space Humid?

Our team of professional and certified technicians takes excellent care to ensure a successful outcome every time.

Vapor Barrier & Crawl Space Encapsulation

Vapor Barrier

A vapor barrier is typically made from heavy-gauge plastic sheeting that lines the entire dirt floor and wall of the crawl space, including any vents and pipes. This thick plastic keeps moisture from rising from the ground into the crawl space, helping to prevent mold or mildew from forming.

Crawl Space Encapsulation

Crawl space encapsulation is a method that goes a step further than just a vapor barrier. It covers all surfaces, even beams and ductwork, with insulation and a waterproof liner. This prevents warm or cool air from leaking into the crawl space. The waterproof liner will also protect the floor and other structural components from any moisture that gets in. This solution can significantly reduce the amount of moisture in the crawl space, helping to keep mold and mildew growth to a minimum.

If you live in the Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, or Hampton Roads areas and have problems with your crawl space moisture, the team at ZHE Industries is here to help. We will evaluate your crawl space, provide expert solutions, and provide crawl space encapsulation services to keep your home comfortable and healthy.

Please don’t take any chances with your crawl space; call Zhe Industries today and let our expert technicians seal your space.

I had Zhe Industries replace the insulation in my attic and do air sealing. They also pointed out a couple problems, like bathroom fans that weren’t vented correctly, and handled those repairs too. Just being able to go into my attic and not feel like I'm itching has made this all worth it. The crew was professional and respectful, and they explained what they were doing as they went which I appreciated. They’re easy enough to work with and stand behind their work. I had them do my parents’ house first and then mine, and both times the results came out solid. Highly recommend, Brian and his crew know what they're doing.
I don't even know where to start, other than saying, I HIGHLY recommend Zhe Industries! Extremely professional, on time, great communication, respectful and the list goes on. The process from beginning to end was a joy. Even the little details like being asked if they can park in our driveway, to no smoking on the job to avoid smells, to laying down tarp on all surfaces they will be walking on, went such a long way. We recommend this company to anyone looking for services. The finished job is also amazing. It is currently hot and sunny outside and our upstairs AC is actually keeping up with the set temperature and feels great! It used to never keep up, run non-stop, and feel hot/humid on the second floor. We are thrilled and extremely happy. Thank you Zhe industries to everything!
These guys crushed it. Top of the line work for an attic in terrible shape!
My home was built in 1988 when little attention was given to attic insulation and sealing. My power bill was over $700 for a 3200 sqft home. I had to do something. Brian with Zhe Industries came out and presented a complete solution at an excellent price that has now more than doubled the R-value of my attic and cleaned it up improving the air quality within my home. He had a very polite and professional 5 person crew come out for two days. They vacuummed out all of the old insulation and nasty stuff that attics tend to accumulate over the years, sealed all of the electrical and HVAC penetrations in the framing and drywall, replaced the attic vent fan, checked the HVAC duct system for leaks with a thermal camera and sealed where needed, replaced the attic decking with one that has a thermal barrier applied, sprayed sanitizer and odor eliminator in the entire space, installed baffles along the attic platform so that the insulation can be full height up to the platform, installed baffles for air flow at my eve vents, and then blew all new insulation.There was an amazing amount of work done for the price and time it took. It was permitted, inspected, and passed the first time by the city of Virginia Beach and warrantied by Owens Corning for 80 years. The whole process was very easy and professional. I would highly recommend Zhe Industries!
From the time we first reached out to Zhe Industries for a quote we felt like we were in good hands. Every member of the company we worked with was kind, friendly and knowledgeable. The price was very fair for the services we were quoted, and they were open and transparent throughout the process. But most importantly, they were able to work with us when we were faced with some unforeseen circumstances. I would recommend this company and use them again in the future based on the quality of service for the price we would have received and there outstanding customer service!
They did an amazing job with our attic. The price was very fair, and they worked incredibly fast. I’m very lucky to have found this team.
I did my research and really took my time with selecting a company for my insulation. I had 4 estimates, and while they were not the cheapest, they were no where near the most expensive. After talking with my sales representative I quickly had my deduction made before I even received the estimate. The total package that was offered was far superior to the other 3 companies. On installed day, the team showed up on time, and were very professional. They completed my project in one day and met all my expectations. I highly recommend them, and honestly even if they wind up being slightly more expensive on your project, it’s for a reason and you get what you pay for. I will be referring them to all, and I am extremely happy with the services they provided me.
They did an excellent job of installing the insulation in my home. They were prompt and professional throughout the entire process.
They also moved items out of my attic and put back in without any damage. I normally set my thermostat at 71-72 and I feel comfortable everyone else is freezing. After the insulation I have to set the thermostat at 73/74 because I’m freezing with the lower temperature. Also my attic is normally very hot and unbearable in the summer, but now it’s so much cooler and doesn’t feel like a sauna.
I would recommend this company.
Brian and the entire Zhe Indistries company was great. Brian is very honest and tells you what is needed and what isn't needed. I am a customer for life and highly recommend Zhe Industries and especially Brian.
Zhe Industries went above and beyond to ensure our attic was done right! They were very flexible with timing and committed to providing great service. Even giving us a full breakdown or what they recommend for the future and advice on ways to make sure things are done correctly and safely. Our attic was a mess and is now saving us money and providing peace of mind knowing it was done properly and with our interests and needs in mind. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND using Zhe Industries for your insulation needs!
