We start by pumping out any standing water, then move straight into liner installation and humidity control.
A rushed encapsulation job with unsealed seams or unwrapped piers looks fine on day one and fails within a season. We treat seam sealing and pier wrapping as core parts of the install, not optional add-ons that get skipped to save time.
Every crew member is trained specifically on liner installation, seam sealing, and vent encapsulation, not general basement work.
Edgerton, WI crawl space calls get scheduled fast, especially when there's standing water or an active mold smell involved.
Pricing is based on your crawl space's actual square footage and condition, quoted in writing before liner installation begins.
A dedicated crawl space dehumidifier is sized to your square footage, not a one-size-fits-all unit.
We scope every Crawl Space Encapsulation job in person before quoting it, since two properties with the same symptom rarely need the same fix.
Before any liner goes down, we pump out existing standing water and remove debris left behind by prior drainage failures.
We install heavy-duty liner rated for crawl space conditions, sealed at every seam and pier to stop ground moisture from reaching the floor joists.
Open foundation vents pull in humid outside air, which is often the real driver of Edgerton, WI crawl space condensation — we seal them as part of encapsulation.
We route discharge lines well away from the foundation so pumped water doesn't just cycle back in.
We also check subfloor insulation for water damage and replace anything compromised before closing the liner.
We ask about standing water, musty odor, and vent condition to gauge scope before scheduling the inspection.
A technician physically enters the space to check for standing water, existing liner condition, vent count, and duct exposure.
We explain trade-offs between liner thickness options so you can choose what fits your budget and goals.
We re-test humidity after installation to confirm the space is holding at a healthy level before we consider the job done.
"Found out our old vapor barrier had huge gaps at every seam. They redid it properly and sealed the vents too."
— Edgerton Homeowner
"Wood floors upstairs were starting to cup from crawl space humidity. Encapsulation plus a dehumidifier stopped it before we had to replace flooring."
— Edgerton Customer
"They caught duct condensation we didn't even know was happening down there. Sealed everything up during the same visit."
— Edgerton Homeowner
"Humidity reading before was over 80%. After encapsulation it's holding steady in the 50s."
— Edgerton Customer
We can scope either option depending on your budget and how severe the existing moisture problem is.
Most residential spaces do well with a 12-15 mil liner; spaces used for storage or with foot traffic often need 20 mil for durability.
Some jurisdictions have code requirements around vent sealing, which we'll flag during the inspection if relevant.
Often yes, if the crawl space is the source — sealing and dehumidifying typically resolves musty odors within a few days of installation.
Standing water doesn't disqualify a space from encapsulation; it's just the first step in the process.
Most residential jobs finish in one to two days depending on square footage and how much prep work is needed.
