The Finished Product
Most crawl spaces start damp, dark and musty: bare dirt, sagging insulation, mold on the joists, maybe some standing water. Here’s what you’ll see when we’re done.
A heavy vapor barrier covers the entire dirt floor and is sealed at every seam, pier and wall, so ground moisture can’t rise into the space.
Foundation vents are closed off so humid summer air stops pouring in and condensing on your framing.
On a full encapsulation, wall blankets add R-11 to walls that otherwise provide almost no insulation.
A dedicated unit holds humidity under 60%, the level where mold stops growing, and drains automatically.
No more musty smell, no fallen insulation, and wood that stays under 19% moisture.
Peace of Mind
Warranty applies to full encapsulations only.
The Process
01
The crew removes old insulation and debris and treats any mold so the space is clean.
02
Vapor barrier, vent sealing, wall insulation or dimple mat, the dehumidifier and any drainage go in.
03
We show you before and after photos, set the dehumidifier, and walk you through what to keep an eye on.
Most of the work happens under your house, not inside it. Here’s what day to day looks like.
The crew goes in through the crawl space access, so we’re rarely inside your living space.
You’ll hear the crew moving and fastening below the floor during working hours. Working from home is usually fine.
The dehumidifier needs an outlet and a place to drain. We’ll plan both with you before install day.
You’ll know your start date and how many days your job will take before we begin. Larger or messier spaces take longer.
Ways to Save
We’ll always recommend what we think is right for your home, but you choose the scope. Here’s how the options compare.
Recommended
$7.80 – $8.80
per sq. ft.
Best for: mold throughout, wet wood (19%+) and humidity over 60%. Includes our dry crawl space guarantee.
More Affordable
$6.30 – $6.90
per sq. ft.
Tradeoff: uninsulated walls let more humid air in, so the dehumidifier works harder. Not covered by our guarantee.
Individual Services
per sq. ft.
Best for: milder problems where the space is mostly dry.
Save $2,000–$3,500
on a typical 1,700 sq. ft. crawl space
We skip the wall blankets and use a dimple mat on the walls instead. The tradeoff: your dehumidifier works harder, and partial jobs aren’t covered by our guarantee.
Save ~$1,000
vs. our standard Aprilaire
Every quote includes our reccomendation of an Aprilaire. You can switch to an AlorAir to lower your cost. The tradeoff: the AlorAir isn’t as reliable as the Aprilaire.
Pay over time
