Musty or damp odors inside your home
-
Standing water or excessive moisture

Wet or sagging insulation

A Cleaner, Drier Crawlspace Starts With Moisture Control
Professional crawlspace encapsulation helps separate your home from moisture coming from the ground and outside air. Depending on the needs of your home, a crawlspace moisture-control system may include a heavy-duty vapor barrier, sealed foundation vents, moisture management, insulation improvements, and a dehumidifier.
At Hays Premier Construction, we inspect your crawlspace first and recommend a solution based on the actual conditions we find — not a one-size-fits-all package.

Our Crawlspace Encapsulation Process
​
Every crawlspace is different. That's why Hays Premier Construction begins with a thorough inspection to identify moisture concerns and determine what your crawlspace actually needs.
​
1. Crawlspace Inspection
We inspect the condition of your crawlspace, looking for excessive moisture, damaged or falling insulation, ventilation issues, standing water, and other conditions that may need attention before encapsulation.
​
2. Prepare the Crawlspace
Before installing the encapsulation system, the crawlspace is prepared so the new moisture-control materials can be properly installed.
​
3. Install a Heavy-Duty Vapor Barrier
A durable vapor barrier is installed across the crawlspace floor and carefully fitted around piers and other obstacles to help prevent ground moisture from entering the crawlspace.
​
4. Seal the Crawlspace
Foundation vents and other outside-air entry points can be sealed as part of the encapsulation system, helping create a more controlled environment beneath your home.
​
5. Control Humidity
When needed, a properly sized crawlspace dehumidifier can be installed to help maintain appropriate humidity levels and keep the crawlspace drier throughout North Carolina's humid seasons.
​
6. Final Inspection
We inspect the completed system and make sure the work has been properly finished before the project is complete.
Built for Your Home — Not a One-Size-Fits-All Package
Our goal isn't to sell every homeowner the same system. We recommend the crawlspace improvements your home actually needs and explain your options before the work begins.

Benefits of Crawlspace Encapsulation
​
Your crawlspace may be out of sight, but conditions underneath your home can have a major impact on the home above it. A properly designed crawlspace encapsulation and moisture-control system can help protect your home and create a cleaner, drier environment beneath it.
​
Help Control Moisture & Humidity
Encapsulation creates a barrier between your home and moisture from the ground while helping reduce humid outside air entering the crawlspace.
​
Protect Wood & Building Materials
Excess moisture can contribute to wood deterioration and damage to insulation and other building materials. Keeping the crawlspace drier helps protect these important parts of your home.
​
Reduce Musty, Damp Odors
A wet or humid crawlspace can develop unpleasant musty odors. Controlling moisture at the source can help create a cleaner, drier environment beneath your home.
:
Improve Comfort & Energy Efficiency
A properly sealed and insulated crawlspace can help reduce unwanted air movement and make it easier to maintain comfortable temperatures throughout your home.
​
Protect Your Investment
Your home is one of your largest investments. Addressing crawlspace moisture before it causes more serious problems can help protect your home for years to come.

Crawlspace Encapsulation Frequently Asked Questions
​
Homeowners often have questions about crawlspace moisture and encapsulation. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we hear from homeowners in Eastern North Carolina.
​
How much does crawlspace encapsulation cost?
​
The cost of crawlspace encapsulation depends on the size and condition of the crawlspace and the work needed to properly control moisture. Factors can include the amount of vapor barrier needed, insulation, sealing, drainage needs, and whether a dehumidifier is recommended. Hays Premier Construction offers a FREE crawlspace inspection so we can evaluate your home and provide an estimate based on what your crawlspace actually needs.
​
Do I need a dehumidifier after encapsulating my crawlspace?
​
Many encapsulated crawlspaces benefit from a properly sized dehumidifier to help maintain controlled humidity levels. Whether your home needs one depends on the conditions in your crawlspace. We can evaluate the moisture and humidity levels during your inspection and recommend the appropriate solution.
​
Will crawlspace encapsulation help with musty odors?
​
It can. Musty odors are often associated with excess moisture and damp conditions. Encapsulation and proper moisture control can help create a cleaner, drier crawlspace and reduce the conditions that contribute to musty odors.
​
What's the difference between a vapor barrier and crawlspace encapsulation?
​
A basic vapor barrier typically covers the ground to help reduce moisture coming from the soil. A complete crawlspace encapsulation system goes further by creating a more controlled environment. Depending on the home, this may include sealing vents and openings, extending and sealing the vapor barrier, addressing insulation, managing drainage, and controlling humidity with a dehumidifier.
​
How do I know if my crawlspace needs encapsulation?
​
Signs that your crawlspace may have a moisture problem include musty odors, high humidity, condensation, standing water, damp or falling insulation, and deterioration of wood or other building materials. The best way to determine what your home needs is to have the crawlspace inspected.
​
