Why Crawl Space Moisture Is a Serious Problem

A wet or humid crawl space doesn't stay contained. Moisture from the ground rises into the crawl space, where it saturates wood floor joists, sub-flooring, and insulation. Over time, this leads to wood rot, mold growth, and structural deterioration that compromises the floor system above. It also affects the air quality of your living space — studies consistently show that a significant portion of the air in a home with a crawl space rises from below.

In Burlington County, crawl space moisture problems are driven by the region's clay soils, high humidity from late spring through fall, and seasonal water table changes. Many homes with open-vented crawl spaces — built on the assumption that outdoor air would dry things out — actually have the opposite result in South Jersey's humid climate.

Heavy-Duty Vapor Barrier

A 12- to 20-mil polyethylene liner installed across the crawl space floor and up the walls, sealed at seams and penetrations. Blocks ground moisture from entering the air space above.

Interior Drainage System

For crawl spaces with active water intrusion — not just vapor — a perimeter drain and sump pump system captures and removes water before it can damage structural components.

Crawl Space Dehumidifier

A dedicated dehumidifier maintains low humidity levels in the encapsulated space year-round, preventing condensation and protecting wood even during high-humidity months.

Vent Sealing

Open crawl space vents are sealed as part of a complete encapsulation, stopping the introduction of humid outdoor air that creates condensation on cold surfaces inside the crawl space.

Insulation Replacement

Moisture-damaged fiberglass insulation between floor joists is removed and replaced after encapsulation to restore energy performance and eliminate a mold-hosting substrate.

Structural Wood Treatment

Joists and beams showing early signs of mold or surface deterioration can be treated and stabilized before encapsulation to halt further damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is crawl space encapsulation?

Encapsulation is the process of sealing the crawl space from ground moisture using a heavy-duty polyethylene vapor barrier that covers the floor and walls. It's typically paired with a dehumidifier and, when needed, a drainage system to remove any water that enters.

Why does my Burlington County crawl space have moisture problems?

Most crawl space moisture comes from ground vapor rising through exposed soil, combined with Burlington County's high humidity and seasonal water table changes. Older homes with open vented crawl spaces are particularly susceptible — outdoor air in South Jersey's climate adds humidity rather than removing it.

How long does crawl space encapsulation take?

Most projects are completed in one to two days depending on the crawl space size and whether drainage work is also required.

Do you serve areas outside Burlington County for crawl space work?
