The process
The crawl space encapsulation process in Southern Shops, SC
Inspect
The crawl space is assessed for existing growth, soil moisture, clearance height, and any existing radon mitigation equipment.
Contain
The access is sealed from the living space and placed under negative air pressure before any mold-affected materials are disturbed.
Remove
Contaminated material is removed, and joists are HEPA vacuumed, treated with an antimicrobial, and cleaned back to sound wood.
Seal
A reinforced vapor barrier is installed across the soil and up the foundation walls, with seams and penetrations sealed into one continuous membrane.
Verify
Humidity and moisture readings confirm the sealed space is drying, and radon system function is verified before completion.
