Many Georgia homes have crawlspace vents which allow air to circulate beneath the home. Originally designed to control humidity in the crawlspace, these vents actually have been shown to increase humidity rather than to decrease it here in the humid Southern climate.
Think about it: in the summer months, the outside air is usually hot and humid. When a crawlspace is wall-vented, the same hot-humid air outside is passing through through into the cooler crawlspace, causing the air to condense, leaving condensation on the floor joists and air ducts.
Excess condensation leads to mold, fungus, and foul odors in the crawlspace. Crawlspace vents need to be closed to seal out unwanted humid air. Dirt crawlspaces also need a proper vapor barrier installed on the floor and exterior walls. An encapsulated crawlspace will properly control humidity, leading to a healthier and more energy efficient home.

CRAWLSPACE ENCAPSULATION FAQS
What is crawlspace encapsulation and why is it important?
Crawlspace encapsulation is the process of sealing the crawl space beneath a home to create a moisture-proof barrier. It is important because it helps prevent moisture intrusion, mold growth, and energy loss while improving indoor air quality.
How does crawlspace encapsulation work?
Crawlspace encapsulation involves several steps. First, the crawl space is thoroughly cleaned and any existing moisture issues are addressed. Next, a vapor barrier, such as a heavy-duty plastic sheet, is installed on the walls and floor to prevent moisture from entering. Finally, dehumidification systems are installed to maintain optimal conditions.
How do I know if my home needs crawlspace encapsulation?
Signs that indicate a need for crawlspace encapsulation include high humidity levels, musty odors, visible mold growth, sagging floors, and increased energy costs. Excessive moisture in the crawl space can lead to a range of problems throughout the home.
How long does the crawlspace encapsulation process typically take?
The duration of the crawlspace encapsulation process depends on the size of the crawl space and the specific requirements of the project. On average, it can take anywhere from one to several days to complete.
Do you provide services in my area?
We provide services in the greater Atlanta, Georgia, region. Please view our Service Area page for a comprehensive list of cities we serve.
Are there any risks or potential issues associated with crawlspace encapsulation?
When performed by experienced professionals, crawlspace encapsulation is a safe and effective solution. However, it is essential to address any pre-existing issues such as water leaks or structural damage before encapsulation.
Is crawlspace encapsulation a permanent solution, or will maintenance be required?
Crawlspace encapsulation is designed to be a long-term solution. However, regular maintenance, such as checking for any damage to the vapor barrier or ensuring proper functioning of dehumidifiers, is recommended to ensure its effectiveness over time.
Do I need to vacate my home during the crawlspace encapsulation process?
In general, it is not necessary to vacate the home during crawlspace encapsulation. The ACS team will guide you on any temporary inconveniences, such as restricted access to certain areas, during the encapsulation process.
