Damp insulation Falling, wet, or damaged insulation in the crawlspace.
High humidity Moist air, condensation, or uncomfortable indoor humidity.
Standing water Water collecting under the home after rain or storms.

Possible Solutions

What crawlspace encapsulation may include

The right solution depends on whether the issue is humidity, groundwater, poor drainage, damaged insulation, or ventilation.

Vapor Barrier

A durable liner can help separate the crawlspace from ground moisture.

Drainage

Some crawlspaces need drainage improvements before encapsulation makes sense.

Dehumidification

A crawlspace dehumidifier may help control moisture and humidity.

Insulation

Insulation upgrades may improve comfort and reduce moisture-related problems.
