Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about crawl space encapsulation in Tuscaloosa, AL.

Crawl space encapsulation protects Tuscaloosa homes by creating an airtight, moisture-impermeable barrier between the damp earth and your wooden floor framing. Sealing the foundation walls and dirt floor with a heavy-duty vapor barrier stops moisture evaporation, preventing joist rot, mold spores, and pest infestations.
Crawl space encapsulation lowers Tuscaloosa energy bills by up to 15 to 20 percent by reducing the latent moisture load on your air conditioning equipment. Dry air requires substantially less electrical energy to cool than humid air, preventing your cooling system from overworking during hot Alabama summers.
A minimum thickness of 12-mil to 20-mil reinforced polyethylene is recommended for proper encapsulation to resist tearing during service access and prevent vapor diffusion. Cheap 6-mil unsealed builder plastic deteriorates quickly, whereas reinforced commercial-grade Class 1 vapor retarders provide durable, lifetime protection.
Foundation vents must be sealed during encapsulation because open vents allow warm, humid exterior air to enter the cool crawl space, where it condenses directly onto joists and ductwork. Closing and sealing vents isolates the foundation environment, allowing a crawl space dehumidifier to maintain optimal relative humidity.

Crawl Space Encapsulation Tuscaloosa, AL

Why Open Crawl Space Vents Fail in Central Alabama

Building practices from decades past mandated passive wall vents under the assumption that outside air would dry the crawl space. In Tuscaloosa's humid subtropical climate, warm, moisture-laden outdoor air enters the cooler crawl space and condenses immediately on ductwork, cold pipes, and wooden framing. This continuous condensation creates an ideal ecosystem for wood-destroying organisms and allergen production. Encapsulating the crawl space seals out humid outdoor air, stabilizing relative humidity below 55 percent.
