We start by pumping out any standing water, then move straight into liner installation and humidity control.

A rushed encapsulation job with unsealed seams or unwrapped piers looks fine on day one and fails within a season. We treat seam sealing and pier wrapping as core parts of the install, not optional add-ons that get skipped to save time.
Every crew member is trained specifically on liner installation, seam sealing, and vent encapsulation, not general basement work.
Our technicians carry encapsulation materials on the truck for most standard-size crawl spaces, cutting down on return visits.
No hourly billing — the number we quote is the number on the final invoice.
A dedicated crawl space dehumidifier is sized to your square footage, not a one-size-fits-all unit.

We scope every Crawl Space Encapsulation job in person before quoting it, since two properties with the same symptom rarely need the same fix.
Extraction equipment includes submersible pumps sized for tight crawl space access points.
We install heavy-duty liner rated for crawl space conditions, sealed at every seam and pier to stop ground moisture from reaching the floor joists.
Sealed vents are paired with mechanical dehumidification so the space doesn't just trap humidity instead of venting it.
A crawl space needs its own sump basin and discharge line separate from any basement system, since the two spaces drain differently.
Exposed ductwork inside an unencapsulated crawl space collects condensation, which we address by insulating and sealing ducts while the space is open.

We ask about standing water, musty odor, and vent condition to gauge scope before scheduling the inspection.
We take humidity and moisture readings to establish a baseline before recommending a system.
We explain trade-offs between liner thickness options so you can choose what fits your budget and goals.
We re-test humidity after installation to confirm the space is holding at a healthy level before we consider the job done.

"Our crawl space had standing water and a mold smell we couldn't get rid of no matter what we tried. Full encapsulation with a dehumidifier fixed it in one visit."
— Pullman Homeowner
"Wood floors upstairs were starting to cup from crawl space humidity. Encapsulation plus a dehumidifier stopped it before we had to replace flooring."
— Pullman Customer
"Access to our crawl space is tight and awkward, but the crew didn't seem bothered by it at all."
— Pullman Homeowner
"Humidity reading before was over 80%. After encapsulation it's holding steady in the 50s."
— Pullman Customer
We can scope either option depending on your budget and how severe the existing moisture problem is.
We'll recommend a thickness based on how the space is actually used, not just a default.
Some jurisdictions have code requirements around vent sealing, which we'll flag during the inspection if relevant.
If the smell persists after encapsulation, that usually points to a separate moisture source we'd need to investigate.
Yes — we extract existing water first, then proceed with liner and vent sealing once the space is dry enough to work safely.
Most residential jobs finish in one to two days depending on square footage and how much prep work is needed.
