Encapsulations
Kitchen #1
Our crawl space encapsulation with 20 mil material is a highly effective solution for sealing and protecting your crawl space from moisture, mold, and pests. Using durable 20 mil thick plastic sheeting, this process involves covering the entire floor and walls of the crawl space to create a vapor barrier. The heavy-duty material provides superior strength and resistance to tears, punctures, and wear, ensuring long-lasting protection. This encapsulation helps control humidity levels, prevent water damage, and improve air quality, making your home more energy-efficient and safeguarding its structural integrity.

Bathroom #3
The stack effect in crawlspaces refers to the natural movement of air driven by temperature differences between the inside of the crawlspace and the outside environment. Warmer air inside the crawlspace rises and escapes through vents or openings at the top, creating a vacuum that draws cooler air in from below or through other openings. This process can cause moisture, odors, and radon to enter the home if not properly managed. Effective ventilation and air sealing are key to controlling the stack effect in crawlspaces.
Water Mitigation Systems
Outdoors #1
An interior French drain in a crawlspace is a drainage system designed to redirect water away from the foundation. It consists of a perforated pipe laid in a trench around the perimeter of the crawlspace. The pipe collects water that seeps into the crawlspace, directing it to a sump pump or drainage point to prevent moisture buildup, reduce flooding, and protect the foundation from water damage. This system is ideal for managing water intrusion in areas with high humidity or groundwater issues.
Outdoors #2
The Zoeller M53 sump pump is a reliable and durable submersible pump designed to prevent basement and crawlspace flooding. With a 1/3 horsepower motor, it efficiently moves water at a rate of up to 43 gallons per minute at a 10-foot discharge head. Known for its solid construction and corrosion-resistant materials, the M53 is ideal for residential use, providing long-lasting performance to keep water levels under control and protect your home from water damage.
Outdoors #3
The NDS EZ-Drain French Drain System offers up to 30% better flow rate compared to traditional stone-and-pipe systems, thanks to its advanced design and exceptional durability. This convenient subsurface drainage solution combines pipe, sock, and gravel in one ready-to-install unit, making it an efficient alternative for managing water drainage. Ideal for crawlspaces, the EZ-Drain system helps prevent moisture buildup and keeps your space dry by providing reliable water storage and infiltration control. With a full range of options, it’s a versatile choice for maintaining a dry foundation.
Foundation Exclusions and Closeouts
Balcony #1
Foundation exclusions and closeouts with foam board and 1/4" hardware cloth provide an effective barrier to prevent rodents, snakes, and other small animals from entering crawl spaces. The foam board is used to seal gaps and cracks, while the 1/4" hardware cloth is installed over vents and openings, allowing for ventilation while blocking entry. This combination creates a secure, durable barrier that protects your crawl space from unwanted pests while maintaining airflow and moisture control.
