What is Crawl Space Encapsulation
Crawl space encapsulation is a specialized procedure designed to protect the crawl space beneath a building from moisture, mold, pests, and other environmental hazards.
It involves the installation of a thick, durable polyethylene barrier that covers the entire area, including the floors, walls, and potentially the ceiling.
Moreover, by sealing the crawl space, encapsulation helps to improve overall air quality in the home and enhances the efficiency of heating and cooling systems, leading to potential energy savings.
This method not only helps maintain the structural integrity of the building but also turns a previously vulnerable area into a clean, dry, and energy-efficient space.

Before and After
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Crawl space encapsulation materials are installed to prevent moisture mold mildew and rodent issues. The moisture barrier also creates a clean durable finished space suitable for storage and climate control.
Crawl space encapsulation done right includes a thermal barrier using insulation. Common insulation materials installed are spray foam around seams and box sill, and a vapor barrier over gravel or dirt floors. If the floor is concrete, no vapor barrier is necessary.

Encapsulating a crawl space: Concrete floor without vapor barrier liner. Closed cell spray foam walls & ceiling.
Spray Foam Crawl Space Encapsulation
Control moisture from outside the crawlspace by extending gutter downspouts 4-6 ft from home, standing rain water management drain tile and more. Temperatures in the crawl space is neutral.
It is unconditioned (not heated or cooled by HVAC systems), as there is no reason to condition it to room temp. Crawlspace may need a dehumidifier if its prone to moisture from exterior water management and grading issues (flood zone or water runoff towards structure).

Romuno and his team came on time and were very cordial and friendly. They discovered
an issue with some electrical work while working on the insulation, which I was surprised and happy about, and were able to rectify the situation easily and at a great value, considering the timing of the project, etc. Romuno made it clear he want to ensure my satisfaction throughout the process. When finished, the job site was cleaned very well.
I highly recommend this company and all its team members and hope to do more projects in the future with them!

Romulo and his teammate were so fast and clean at insulating and repairing our damaged
ceiling due to a roof leak. Again it was easy to engage green Attic as a return customer because I felt well treated with their work when they first insulated and managed.to transform our cold home. Great job!

Romulo & Alvaro did a great job installing everything. Cindy, Frank and the Green Attic team
were extremely attentive. I love how easy they made the process, everything is online even the rebates.

These guys did a great job! Great price, quality service, and they offer several payment
options and plans. I thought we bought a lemon of a house and the insulation and sealing job they did fixed all of our issues and were so thrilled! Highly recommend these guys. Plus they are local so it’s great supporting a chicago based company.

Highly recommend Green Attic. Scheduled to have my attic re-insulated and Romulo
and his crew did a fabulous job. The attic was in pretty bad shape prior to the work getting done and green attic made it look so good. The crew worked efficiently and got the job done in 2 days. I also asked Romulo to install a couple other things on my roof outside of the scheduled project and he very kindly and willingly did so without hesitation. Very pleased with how everything turned out. Thank you so much for a job well done! Before and after pics below.
