Crawlspace encapsulation creates a sealed, controlled environment by covering walls, floor, and vents with a heavy-duty vapor barrier. We use Griffolyn® products, the professional standard for lasting moisture control.
True encapsulation means sealing every surface, floor, walls, columns, and vents, not just laying plastic on the dirt floor.
We use Griffolyn® heavy-duty reinforced polyethylene vapor barriers, the same product specified by professional contractors throughout the industry. These are not the thin poly sheets from the hardware store; they're engineered for decades of performance.
Proper encapsulation includes sealing crawlspace vents, which can be a major source of humid outdoor air during Michigan's humid summers. A properly sealed, conditioned crawlspace performs dramatically better than a vented one.
We use Griffolyn® heavy-duty reinforced vapor barriers designed for permanent crawlspace installation. The reinforced construction resists tearing and puncture during installation and for decades of service life.
Modern building science strongly recommends sealing crawlspace vents in Michigan's climate. Open vents allow humid summer air into the cool crawlspace, creating condensation on structural wood and mechanical systems. Sealed, conditioned crawlspaces dramatically outperform vented ones.
A vapor barrier is typically just a ground cover. Full encapsulation covers floors, walls, columns, and seals vents, creating a complete sealed envelope. True encapsulation provides far superior moisture control.
Crawlspace encapsulation can help reduce radon entry, but a dedicated radon mitigation system is the proper solution for elevated radon levels. We can discuss both during your assessment.
