Crawlspace Encapsulation
Complete crawlspace solutions including vapor barriers, insulation, and moisture control.
What Is Crawlspace Encapsulation?
Crawlspace encapsulation is the process of sealing your crawlspace from the ground and outside air using heavy-duty vapor barriers, sealed vents, and climate control. This transforms your crawlspace from a damp, dirty area into a clean, dry, conditioned space.
Maine's climate creates ideal conditions for crawlspace moisture problems. Humid summers, spring snowmelt, and high water tables can all contribute to dampness, mold growth, and structural damage. Encapsulation addresses these issues at the source.
