Protect Your Home With Crawl Space Encapsulation
Moisture in your crawl space can lead to serious problems—from mold and mildew to higher energy bills and structural damage. At Knights Standard, we offer professional crawl space encapsulation services that address all areas of concern related to humidity, moisture, and air leakage under your home.
Encapsulating the crawl space means sealing it off from ground moisture, outdoor air, and water intrusion. This method has become increasingly popular since the early 2000s, when studies confirmed the benefits of creating a sealed and conditioned environment beneath homes. Our process ensures your crawl space stays dry, clean, and well-regulated, giving you peace of mind.

That’s why we offer expert crawl space encapsulation services designed to safeguard your home from the ground up. Our goal is to help you create a dry, stable environment beneath your home so you can enjoy lasting comfort and peace of mind.

What Is Crawl Space Encapsulation?
Crawl space encapsulation is the process of transforming your crawl space into a dry, stable, and protected environment. We do this by installing a thick, non-permeable vapor barrier that seals the floor, walls, and any air leaks or moisture entry points. After the vapor barrier is in place, we install a commercial-grade dehumidifier to maintain consistent humidity levels.
Some crawl spaces may also require a French drain and sump pump system to handle water that enters through the foundation or block walls. Every crawl space is unique, which is why we start each project with a thorough inspection and personalized plan.
Benefits of Crawl Space Encapsulation
There are many reasons to invest in crawl space encapsulation, especially when it's done right. Here’s what you can expect:
Reduced Risk of Mold and Mildew: Moist environments promote mold growth, which can spread into your home’s living areas. Our services include crawl space mold removal if needed before encapsulation.
Improved Indoor Air Quality: A sealed crawl space reduces airborne allergens and pollutants that can enter through vents and floorboards.
Energy Savings: By adding crawl space insulation and sealing out the outside air, your HVAC system won’t need to work as hard—leading to lower energy bills.
Protection From Structural Damage: Moisture can weaken wooden supports and beams. Encapsulation helps prevent long-term deterioration and costly repairs.
