Crawlspace encapsulation involves sealing off the crawlspace with a heavy-duty moisture barrier on the floor and walls to prevent moisture from the ground. Vents and openings connecting the crawlspace to the outside are sealed, and insulation may be added for energy efficiency. This process helps control humidity levels, improves indoor air quality by preventing mold growth, and protects the home's structure from potential damage. It's particularly effective in humid climates or areas prone to moisture issues, ensuring a healthier and more energy-efficient living environment.

Orkin's DryZone® service offers a customized moisture control program for your home's crawlspace or basement, including cleaning, sealing, installing moisture-blocking barriers, air conditioning devices, and moisture monitors. We return every six months for maintenance to ensure ongoing effectiveness and peace of mind against pests. Call an Orkin Pro to schedule an inspection!
