Crawlspace Encapsulation: The Complete Solution

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.

Crawlspace Encapsulation Services

True encapsulation means sealing every surface, floor, walls, columns, and vents, not just laying plastic on the dirt floor.

Griffolyn®: The Professional Standard

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What thickness vapor barrier do you use?

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.

Should I seal my crawlspace vents?

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.

What's the difference between a vapor barrier and full encapsulation?

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.

Does encapsulation prevent radon?

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.
