Up to 50% of the air in your house can stream in from your crawl space. Moisture in the crawl space can cause air quality issues and odors. Adding a crawl space vapor barrier can increase indoor air quality and keep your home warmer in the winter.
Water Extraction Experts encapsulate a crawl space by sealing it with a water vapor barrier (usually a heavy-duty polyethylene barrier) to effectively contain any moisture seeping in from the floor and foundation walls.
Why should you encapsulate your crawl space?
We hear from a lot of our customers who choose to put a water vapor barrier in their crawl space to reduce musty odors in their home. However, there are health risks often associated with a damp crawl space, such as mold, air quality, and fungi. Structural damage, such as wood rot, can also be a problem and negatively impact the value of your property. By encapsulating your crawl space, you also regain this space for storage.
Benefits of Encapsulating your Crawl Space
- Healthier air quality in your home
- Avoid mold or fungi issues and structural damage
- Better energy efficiency in your home
- Create an uninviting area for pests
Our Process for Encapsulating
your Crawl Space
- Call us for a FREE inspection. We’ll assess your crawl space and make sure it’s ready for encapsulation.
- Prior to encapsulation will address any excess moisture issues, take measurements and make sure the area is ready for placement of the water vapor barrier.
- Our certified technicians will begin placing the water vapor barrier. We’ll cut the water vapor barrier to the specific measurements of your crawl space to ensure adequate overlap and no gaps are present.
- If your crawl space needs further humidity control, we may recommend the placement of a dehumidifier.

Fantastic Customer Service
Matt and the entire team were fantastic to work with my client on their home. They were responsive and were able to locate the issue, mediate and test the problem areas within a very quick deadline that the homeowners were under. Their pricing is very reasonable and their crew was beyond courteous to everyone on the property. They made sure the homeowners questions were answered in advance, they described the issue clearly and with images, and they laid out a remedial plan that could be executed within a short time period. I would recommend this company to anyone who is needing a through inspection and solution with a company that has fantastic customer service and quick follow up.

Amazing
Water Extraction Experts are a phenomenal company with great leadership, work ethic, and professionalism. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM! I had a water pipe break in my house and they were there as soon as possible to help provide an excellent and needed service for me and my 4 month year old daughter.
True Professionals
Steve and Doug were totally professional across the board. They returned my voicemail promptly, arrived when they said they would, and their advice seemed based on honest experience and what was best for our house, not for their bottom line. I just got a great vibe from them. I'm able to do much of the work myself and they never balked at that. Great experience!
