The Preferred Crawl Space Encapsulation Company in Middle Tennessee
If you dread going into your unconditioned, vented crawl space and put off doing so for as long as you can, we can’t say we blame you. After all, nobody wants to spend a second longer than they have to in a small, stuffy, damp space! At Complete Insulation, we’re proud to provide a reliable solution: TRU-Encap. Featuring a reinforced poly vapor barrier, this system creates a true encapsulated crawl space.
Why Encapsulate?
Encapsulating your crawl space offers three main benefits:
- A barrier to outside air that protects against humidity and other potentially harmful conditions
- Prevention of the upward movement of vapor from the ground
- Conditioning of the crawl space with a dehumidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels
By converting your crawl space to a conditioned, non-vented space, you can prevent mold and mildew, improve your home’s air quality, and avoid structural damage to your home or building.
How Is Crawl Space Encapsulation Done?
Proper crawl space encapsulation involves a few steps, beginning with moving the insulation envelope—which acts as an air barrier—to the perimeter walls instead of the subfloor above the crawl space. A vapor barrier will then be installed with the seams and edges adequately sealed. After that, a dehumidifier can be installed to condition the space and maintain a consistent relative humidity (RH).
Our Approach to Encapsulation
Choosing the right crawl space encapsulation company can be challenging, but with Complete Insulation, you don’t need to worry. We handle everything, streamlining the process so that your entire project is completed with care and precision. Here’s what you can expect:
- Free on-site inspection – We begin with a thorough inspection to determine the needs of your crawl space. We provide a detailed estimate typically within one day.
- Preparation – On the first day, we remove any existing vapor retarders, insulation, and debris. We then install sealant at the foundation wall joints and prepare the space for encapsulation.
- Installation – On the second day, we install closed-cell spray foam at the rim joist and perimeter walls, ensuring a proper seal. We also install the Viper CS 10ML reinforced poly vapor barrier on the crawl space floor, taping all seams and joints.
- Dehumidifier setup – If selected, we install and activate a dehumidifier to maintain the optimal RH in the newly conditioned crawl space.
Our local team is knowledgeable, professional, and friendly, offering competitive prices and a genuine approach. Our management, staff, and install crews have decades of real-world experience, and we go above and beyond to ensure the job is done right the first time every time.
