Key takeaways
- A heavy vapor barrier covers the floor and walls
- Vents and gaps are sealed and seams are taped
- A dehumidifier and a pump are common partners
- The goal is a drier, cleaner space and fewer odors
Encapsulation turns a vented, damp crawl space into a closed, controlled one.
The barrier
A heavy-duty liner covers the floor and runs up the walls, with seams overlapped and taped.
The seal
Vents and gaps are closed, so humid outdoor air stops flowing through.
The partners
A dehumidifier holds humidity steady, and a sump pump handles liquid water where needed.
The result
A drier space, fewer odors and a cleaner place under your home.
