✅The Ultimate Home Building Checklist at BuilderBrigade.com
So what these guys do it lay down a plastic vapor barrier (Moisture Barrier)
And tape every single seam, beam, and everything in between. See how I rhymed those 😉
This way the ground is completely sealed off.
You can even add a dehumidifier that pulled excess moisture out of the air.
Then pair that with a sump pump that pumps any standing water produced by the dehumidifier or accumulated moisture out of the space.
So encapsulating the crawlspace it’ll do a few things:
• Seal the house from the moisture coming from the ground
• Prevent mold
• Improve the indoor air quality
• Increase energy efficiency
I don’t think you’ll recoup the cost through energy efficiency but cleaner indoor air and less moisture make it a deal in my eyes.
Cost ranges from $5-$10 a sq ft. The cost is all over the place so get a few quotes before signing off.

No, this is a 5 day encapsulated crawlspace. First day we gut the entire thing of insulation, trash ect and start trenching. Day 2 all trenching has to be done and sump pit set for inspection next morning. After inspection, you have backfill and start laying down your floor membrane and insulation on walls. Last 2 days you finish membrane and dehumidifier. Final inspection can happen any time after that. The waterproof taping is key to Making it look well. If your layers arnt properly overlapped and are taped down badly, it shows quite easily. The membrane is also very easy to clean, you can bring a portable shop vac, use small amount of degreaser on microfiber cloth ect.

@The_Grubbernaut 22 дня назад

@us7876 that's one of the reasons. Another reason is to help mitigate mold development. Another reason is to separate the bottom of the home from the ground. We would put in a thermal barrier on the ground itself and a specific type of foam on the walls inside the crawlspace.

@jordan9604 16 дней назад

I worked on crawlspace encapsulation for about 2 years. I always told the owner that they are the new owner of a "Cadillac Crawlspace." Prices were typically around 4k to 6k. The lining on the bottom is 20mils with a hard plastic bottom inbetween the lining and ground to allow water to flow easier. The perimeter usually has perforated pipe with a sock. Every seam is taped and the walls have caulking at the top. It will literally pay for itself through energy savings. My favorite part is when you start to tape the seams, it gets noticeably hotter just from our lights. Worked at PEP Waterproofing and Foundation Repair.
