Why Should You Consider Crawl Space Encapsulation?
If your crawl space is prone to dampness, pests, mold, or unpleasant odors, encapsulation may be the solution. Crawl spaces can trap moisture, leading to wood rot, poor air quality, and even structural damage. Encapsulation involves sealing your crawl space to keep moisture and pests out, giving you peace of mind and numerous advantages:
- Improved Air Quality
Did you know that much of the air inside your home originates from your crawl space? By sealing it, you can reduce allergens, mold, and other airborne contaminants, creating a healthier environment for you and your family. - Energy Efficiency
Encapsulation can significantly reduce energy costs by preventing temperature fluctuations caused by air leaks and moisture. Homeowners may notice up to a 20% reduction in energy bills. - Comfort
Encapsulation reduces the humidity levels in your home, which means cooler summers and warmer floors in the winter. - Extra Storage Space
A sealed crawl space offers a clean, dry area for storing seasonal items, tools, or other belongings without the risk of water or pest damage. - Pest Prevention
Encapsulation creates a barrier that makes it harder for insects and rodents to invade your crawl space and damage your property.

How Crawl Space Encapsulation Works
At Hammond Services, we use advanced techniques and high-quality materials to ensure your crawl space is thoroughly sealed and protected. Here’s what the process typically involves:
- Moisture Control
Before sealing your crawl space, we address any water intrusion issues, such as plumbing leaks or drainage problems. Installing sump pumps and drainage systems ensures the area stays dry. - Vapor Barrier Installation
- A durable vapor barrier is added to seal off moisture from the ground and surrounding areas, preventing mold, mildew, and wood rot. For detailed guidance on creating unvented, insulated crawl spaces, visit this resource guide by the Building America Solution Center to learn more.
- Air Sealing
To reduce humidity and improve insulation, we seal vents, rim joists, and other air entry points. This prevents outside air from entering the crawl space. - Dehumidification or Ventilation
Depending on your home’s needs, we install either a dehumidifier to regulate humidity levels or a ventilation fan to circulate conditioned air.
