DIY Crawl Space Encapsulation

Create a Dry and Healthy Crawl Space Environment

Excess moisture, soil gas entry (such as radon), the loss of heat in cold weather months, and mold growth are all seemingly common parameters within a crawl space. While true, thankfully proven solutions exist allowing homeowners to protect their crawl space from these conditions thanks to the correct use of crawl space lining material, also known as a vapor barrier.

By encapsulating the walls and floor of a crawl space with an effective liner, homeowners can protect against the excess moisture, energy waste and soil gas infiltration that often result in the growth of mold, musty smells and overall poor air quality.

The DIY Crawl Space Liner Kit gives homeowners a simple user-friendly solution to successfully encapsulate their crawl space. By mitigating the harsh conditions that crawl spaces normally incur, you are taking a vital measure to protect the air quality throughout the entire home. According to the EPA, at least 50 percent of the air circulating throughout the main and upper levels of the home originate from below-grade. Poor air quality circulating in the crawl space will eventually make its way into the upper levels.
