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.
