Crawl Space Encapsulation in Falls Church, VA
Challenge
A homeowner in Falls Church, VA, contacted NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair due to a pervasive crawl space odor and dampness affecting their home. They were concerned about poor indoor air quality, uncomfortably cold floors in the winter, and the potential for mold growth fueled by the constant crawl space moisture. During our free inspection, we identified high humidity levels, failing insulation, and open vents that allowed damp, outside air to enter, creating an unhealthy environment beneath their home.
Solution
Our team recommended a full crawl space encapsulation in Falls Church, VA, to permanently resolve the issues. We installed a durable, heavy-duty vapor barrier across the entire crawl space floor and up the walls, sealing all seams to block ground moisture. Vents were sealed, and rim joists were air-sealed to prevent outside air intrusion. To actively control humidity, we installed a high-performance SaniDry™ dehumidifier. This comprehensive system transformed the crawl space into a clean, dry, and conditioned area, eliminating odors and providing the homeowner with safe, usable storage space and lasting peace of mind.
