Crushed Stone Crawl Space Encapsulation

Protect the structure and improve indoor air quality by controlling moisture under the building. We install a stone base where needed and seal the crawl space with a polyethylene system that blocks vapor and supports long-term performance.

Moisture Control
Mold Reduction
Energy Savings

Do not let hidden moisture damage your building

Standing moisture in a crawl space leads to mold, wood decay, odors, pest pressure, and increased energy costs. Left alone, these issues can turn into structural repairs, indoor air complaints, and budget surprises. 

A patchwork fix rarely holds. Thin plastic, missed seams, or uneven floors let vapor bypass the barrier and collect again. You need a solution that levels the base, creates a continuous seal on floors and walls, and manages humidity so problems do not return.

Why more owners choose professional encapsulation

Lower risk

A sealed system reduces conditions that allow mold and pests to thrive.

Better efficiency

Proper vapor control and dehumidification support lower utility costs.

Long-term value

Protection that helps preserve structure and livability over time.

What exactly is crawl space encapsulation

Crawl space encapsulation is the installation of a continuous polyethylene vapor barrier on the floor and walls of the crawl space, with seams carefully overlapped and sealed around vents, pipes, and piers. Where conditions require it, we place a crushed stone base to level depressions before sealing. A dehumidifier keeps relative humidity in the safe range.

We understand the demands of occupied buildings and tight spaces

We work in crawl spaces of all sizes for commercial owners, homeowners, and developers. Our crews bring the right materials and equipment for confined access, including long, pliable blower hoses that help us place a stone base evenly where the floor is irregular. The goal is a neat, complete seal with minimal disruption to people using the building.

DIY sealing vs partnering with Superior

Encapsulation that looks complete can still fail if the base is uneven, seams are not sealed, or humidity is not controlled. That leads to mold concerns, callbacks, and expensive corrections. Professional work includes surface prep, correct materials, complete sealing, and humidity management so the outcome lasts. The short-term savings of a do-it-yourself approach do not outweigh the risk of doing it twice.

"Encapsulation supports many property types"

Commercial buildings. Reduce moisture risk, maintain operations, and protect finishes and equipment.
Residential homes. Improve indoor air quality and protect the structure for families living above.
New construction. Deliver a marketable, protected crawl space that sets future owners up for success.

What are the steps to encapsulate a crawl space

1. Clean and repair
Remove debris and address any structural or water issues so the surface is safe and ready.
2. Measure the area
Calculate floor and wall coverage so materials fully cover the space without gaps.
3. Apply a stone base
Where the floor is uneven, we place crushed stone to create a smooth, stable base for the barrier and to aid drainage. Our Express Blower hoses help in tight spaces.
4. Seal the space
Overlap and seal polyethylene sheets on floors and walls, wrapping around vents, pipes, and piers for a continuous barrier.
5. Regulate humidity
Install a dehumidifier and set it to maintain safe levels so moisture does not return.

Crawl Space Encapsulation FAQs

No. Encapsulation controls vapor and humidity. Proper drainage is still required to handle liquid water before the area is sealed.

A basic vapor barrier leaves vents open and does not manage humidity. Encapsulation wraps floors and walls and is paired with a dehumidifier for more complete protection.

Yes. The sealed system restricts access and protects structural elements from insects and critters.

Yes. It helps protect the structure and indoor air quality, which buyers and tenants appreciate. Lower energy bills are a common benefit.

Condition and size of the crawl space are the main drivers. If repairs or extensive leveling are required before sealing, cost increases.

Yes. Our equipment and long, flexible hoses allow careful placement and sealing in confined areas.

When needed, yes. We place crushed stone to create an even, stable surface before installing the barrier.

Yes. We encapsulate crawl spaces for commercial buildings, homes, and new construction.
