Crawlspace Encapsulation Services Hawthorne, CA Area

What is Crawl Space Encapsulation?

Crawl Space Encapsulation creates a moisture barrier between your crawl space and the earth to keep water out. A durable liner is used to cover the walls and floor of your crawl space. If your crawl space is prone to flooding, a sump pump system may be installed to remove the standing water when flooding occurs. Lastly, if humidity is an issue, a dehumidifier may be installed to effectively manage humidity and condensation in the crawl space.

Before the crawl space can be encapsulated, any existing water and mold growth will need to be removed and the crawl space dried properly. We are a professionally certified firm and provide comprehensive water damage and mold cleanup services in addition to the Crawl Space Encapsulation procedure.
