Crawl Space Encapsulation | Integrated Wildlife Management Inc
Our crawl space encapsulation service seals out moisture and pests, improves air quality, and strengthens your home’s efficiency and long-term value.
Protecting Your Home From the Ground Up
At Integrated Wildlife Management Inc., we help you tackle the hidden issues that start in the crawl space and quietly impact the rest of your home. Moisture buildup, poor ventilation, and pest activity can weaken structural materials, invite mold, and lower indoor air quality. Our crawl space encapsulation process is designed to turn that vulnerable area into a clean, controlled, and protected zone.
We approach every job with a detailed inspection, careful preparation, and durable sealing methods that reduce humidity, block wildlife access, and support a healthier living environment. By understanding how encapsulation works and why it matters, you’re taking a smart step toward a safer home, stronger foundation, and better comfort year-round.

Why Crawl Space Encapsulation Matters for Home Health
When a crawl space is left open to ground vapor and outside humidity, it creates the perfect conditions for mold growth, wood rot, and lingering odors that can rise into your living space. Encapsulation forms a sealed barrier that keeps damp air and standing moisture from taking over.
By installing a heavy-duty vapor barrier across crawl space floors and walls, we cut down humidity at the source. That protects framing materials from decay, supports cleaner indoor air, and keeps your home’s structural integrity strong. Encapsulation also helps stabilize temperatures under your floors, reducing cold drafts and helping your HVAC system run more efficiently. In short, it’s a proactive upgrade that supports comfort, safety, and long-term property protection.

Crawl Space Problems We Look For During Inspection
During our inspections, we look for early warning signs that could turn into expensive repairs if left untreated. Common concerns include high moisture levels, visible mold or mildew, sagging insulation, and standing water. We also check for crawl space pests such as rodents, insects, and other wildlife that can damage wiring, ductwork, and structural components.
We pay close attention to entry points along vents, foundation gaps, and utility penetrations, since even small openings can invite animals inside. If exclusion measures are already in place, we evaluate whether they’re still effective or need reinforcement. Catching these problems early makes remediation simpler and keeps your crawl space from becoming a long-term threat to your home’s safety and efficiency.
Our Crawl Space Encapsulation Process
We start by clearing out debris and removing anything that can hold moisture or attract pests. If we find contaminated materials or damaged insulation, we remove them so the space is safe and ready for sealing.
Next, we install a durable vapor barrier across the ground and up the walls to block moisture intrusion. We seal seams carefully and secure the barrier so it holds up over time. Then we evaluate airflow needs and integrate ventilation solutions when necessary to maintain balanced circulation and prevent trapped humidity. We also seal wildlife entry points using long-lasting materials that resist chewing and weather breakdown. In crawl spaces with drainage concerns, we may recommend and install a sump pump to manage water accumulation. Every step is completed with precision so your crawl space becomes a controlled, protected environment that supports the rest of your home.
Long-Term Benefits You Can Expect After Encapsulation
. By controlling humidity under your home, you create conditions that discourage mold, mildew, and pest activity for the long haul. With crawl space insulation working alongside the vapor barrier, your floors stay more stable in temperature, and your HVAC system doesn’t have to fight constant drafts or humidity swings. That often means lower heating and cooling costs and more consistent comfort indoors.
Encapsulation also protects your foundation and framing from water-related deterioration, helping extend the life of critical structural elements. And from a property standpoint, a sealed, well-maintained crawl space adds value because buyers recognize it as a sign of responsible home care. The result is a stronger, cleaner, more efficient home that holds up better over time.
