What Is A Crawl Space?
A crawl space is a shallow area located between the ground and the first floor of a home. It is usually only about one to three feet high, hence the term “crawl space.” It often contains the “guts” of the house, such as plumbing, wiring, HVAC equipment, and ductwork. This allows for easy access to a home’s plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems when repairs and upgrades are needed.

Crawl Space Encapsulation With Synergy Home
Crawl spaces are nasty places, for those of us who’ve been in the industry a long time we’ve all found spiders, crickets, the occasional opossum, definitely some snakes, mold, and even even sewage in crawl spaces that we’ve been in. Sadly, the construction industry has known since the 1980s that we should not be building houses on ventilated crawl spaces.
Most crawl spaces have foundation vents that were designed to allow air to flow through the crawl space to keep moisture low. Unfortunately that doesn’t work very well. To make matters worse most homeowners don’t realize they’re supposed to open the crawl space vents in the summertime and close them in the winter time.
Typically what happens is that the vents in the winter time allow cold air in the crawl space, which makes it up into the home making the heating and cooling system work harder. Moving through the crawl space, it picks up dust, dirt, debris, mold, and brings it up into the living space. If you live with a crawl space, 25% of the air that you breathe comes through the crawl space first, and if you’ve ever seen how nasty crawl spaces are, that’s not a pleasant thought.
Synergy encapsulates crawl spaces better than any company in town. Most of our competitors do not offer closed cell Spray Foam, which is a game changer. We go into the crawl space, remove all the nasty stuff, all the nasty insulation, all the construction debris and we lay down really nice white woven polyurethane plastic called Viper Matt, it is 10 times as strong as the polyurethane you’re going to get at Lowe’s or Home Depot. We then seal that to the foundation with Spray Foam and close off all the foundation vents with spray foam and then insulate all the perimeter of the foundation with closed cell Spray Foam.
Fernando is so particular about crawl spaces that at the end of the job he will take his shoes off and crawl through the crawl space, sock footed, so he does not bring any dirt in to do his final walk through . When we are done with a crawl space, it is cleaner than most people’s basements and, by sealing the foundation vents, we don’t have that cold air coming in so it makes the house much easier to heat and cool, it makes the floors much warmer in the winter time, and it lowers the humidity in the summertime. Of all the services we offer, crawl space encapsulation is the one that has the most dramatic customer satisfaction. When I run into a customer whose crawl space we have encapsulated, they typically are ecstatic.
DIY Crawl Space Encapsulation Is Not Recommended
Encapsulating your crawl space gives you greater control over your home’s comfort, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality. Benefits of crawl space encapsulation include:
Even if your crawl space has a cement floor, water vapor and contaminants can enter from the ground. This can result in all kinds of moisture and indoor air quality issues in your crawl space and home. crawl space encapsulation keeps your crawl space clean and dry with the installation of a heavy-duty vapor barrier along the floor and walls. The vapor barrier is sealed at all seams for maximum moisture control.
In addition to the vapor barrier, other improvements can further regulate moisture levels and air quality in the crawl space. Installing spray foam insulation will boost your home’s energy efficiency, comfort, and indoor air quality. While installing a dehumidifier, for example, will help draw moisture out of the crawl space and further increase healthy indoor air quality while also preventing structural damage due to mold growth.
