Professional Crawlspace Encapsulation Services
The crawlspace, characterized as a dark, damp, and dirty space under your home, is an area many homeowners think “out of sight, out of mind” until problems arise. However, your crawlspace can have multiple issues you may not be aware of, including everything from high humidity and fungus to flooding and wood rot. But you don't have to worry because CrawlTek LLC has a solution.
At CrawlTek LLC, we specialize in encapsulation, a great way to remedy unwanted issues. Encapsulating a crawlspace or basement means sealing it against moisture leaks after installing a water drainage system. Keeping water out of your basement is only part of the solution, as you also need to get it away from your foundation.
CrawlTek LLC has over 30 years of experience with crawlspaces and the encapsulation process. We'll provide you with a customized plan that fits your needs instead of offering a generic one size fits all solution that doesn't work for your home. If encapsulation isn’t the right fix for your crawlspace, we specialize in a variety of other crawlspace services, from French drains and insulation to basic ground-covering vapor barriers!

Homeowners Who Can Benefit From Basement Encapsulation
We strongly recommend encapsulation specifically to two types of homeowners who want good option for a clean and dry basement free of odors.
Older Homes with Brick or Stone Foundations
These building materials are highly permeable and when compared to modern concrete or concrete blocks, offer less resistance to water seepage. Water can damage the mortar joints between bricks and stones, increasing the likelihood of water seepage. Water seepage leads to foundation decay and mold growth, which provides an ideal home for invasive pests like termites.
Homes With Full or Partially Finished Basements
Whether you have a finished basement or plan to finish yours, a properly functioning drainage system may not control water seepage, and the foundation can become damp. Humidity from this dampness alone can encourage mold to develop in the insulation. By the time you notice, the mold may have already spread to your drywall and wooden framing. When this happens, you must remove the affected area, treat the problem, then refinish the area. Avoid mold, the clean up and repairs with an encapsulation services from CrawlTek LLC.
