The cure for a damp, moldy crawl space.
We seal your crawl space off from ground moisture and outside air with a heavy-duty vapor barrier, then keep it dry with a right-sized dehumidifier. Done once, done right, warrantied.
Georgia crawl spaces were built with open vents on the theory that airflow keeps them dry. In our humid climate the opposite happens: summer air pours in, hits cool surfaces, and condenses. Add red clay that holds water against your foundation and you get the musty smell, the mold, and the cupping floors we see every week.
Encapsulation closes the loop. We line the floor and walls with a heavy-duty vapor barrier, seal the vents and penetrations, and control the remaining moisture with a commercial dehumidifier. The dirt, the damp, and the bugs are on the outside. Your home is on the inside.
Sealed by hand, inch by inch
One crew, one written scope, no surprise add-ons halfway through the job.
Floor and walls lined with reinforced barrier tough enough to crawl on, mechanically fastened so it stays put.
Open vents are how humid Georgia air gets in. We seal them and install an airtight access door.
Right-sized for your square footage, drained properly, and covered by our 5-year equipment warranty.
Standing water gets a sump or French drain first. Sealing water in would be malpractice, so we never do it.
If we find mold on the joists, we remediate before we seal. Never encapsulate a sick space.
You never have to crawl down there to verify our work.

The DiagnosisThe Treatment
Full RecoveryFree inspection with photos: moisture readings, mold check, drainage review. If you don't need encapsulation, we say so.
Old debris out, mold treated, standing water solved with drainage before anything gets sealed.
Barrier down, seams taped, piers wrapped, vents closed, dehumidifier installed and dialed in.
Walkthrough with photos, written warranty in hand, and a crawl space that stays healthy.
It depends on the size of the space, how much moisture damage we find, and whether you need drainage or a dehumidifier as part of the fix. That is exactly why the inspection is free: you get a firm, written number for your actual crawl space, not a teaser price that grows later. No payment games, no commissioned upsell.
Most encapsulations take one to two days. Bigger spaces, drainage work, or mold treatment can add a day. You do not need to leave your home while we work, and we leave the space clean enough to show off. Which we will, with photos.
Decades, when it is done right. We use heavy-duty vapor barrier rated for foot traffic, mechanically fastened and taped at every seam and pier. Installed equipment like your dehumidifier carries our 5-year warranty on top of the workmanship guarantee.
Yes, and honestly it gets better. A sealed, dry, bright white crawl space is far more usable than a dirt pit. The barrier we install is tough enough to crawl on, and your holiday decorations stop smelling like a basement.
We inspect, photograph, and tell you honestly what you do and do not need. Serving Athens, Gainesville and Augusta from Madison, GA.
