Permanent Protection for Memphis Crawl Spaces

High humidity and clay soil mean Memphis homes breathe whatever sits below the floor. Our NFRA-certified team seals crawl spaces tight, keeping mold, odors, and pests out of your living space.

Why Crawl Spaces Suffer in Memphis

Memphis summers are hot and muggy, spring storms dump inches of rain overnight, and local unique soils hold water against foundations. Warm, wet air creeps through open vents, causing wood rot, mold growth, and higher energy bills.

Local Causes of Crawl Space Issues

In Memphis, several conditions combine to create damp, unhealthy crawl spaces. The Mississippi River and Wolf River tributaries keep the water table high, which means soil under homes stays wet for much of the year. Shelby County’s unique soil compositions can soak up water fast, forcing moisture vapor upward into crawl spaces. When warm, humid air enters through open foundation vents, it cools on the wood framing and condenses into water droplets. Thin, outdated 6‑mil plastic liners make matters worse because they tear easily and trap water in hidden pockets, inviting mold and wood rot.

Our Crawl Space Encapsulation Solutions

Drainage Prep

We install perimeter trenches, French drains, or sump basins if standing water is present, which moves bulk water out before sealing starts.

Heavy-Duty Vapor Barrier

Our team will lay and mechanically fasten a 20-mil, Class A fire-rated liner across soil, piers, and walls to block 99% of ground moisture and radon gas.

Seam Sealing

We tape and heat-bond seams, wrap columns, and terminate liner above grade, which creates a continuous moisture and air seal.

Vent & Gap Sealing

Our team will close any vulnerable foundation vents and foam-seal rim joist gaps, which stops humid outdoor air from entering.

Dehumidification

We’ll size and install an ENERGY STAR® unit tied to a dedicated drain line, keeping relative humidity under 55% and preventing mold.

Insulation Upgrade

Add closed-cell foam or foam core board to walls for energy savings, which stabilizes floor temperature and lowers utility bills.

Benefits of Having an Encapsulated Crawl Space
