Crawl Space Encapsulation & Moisture Control in Halifax & Nova Scotia

By wrapping the crawl space floor and walls with a durable vinyl vapor barrier, encapsulation can help reduce moisture, musty smells, mold risk, pests, and damage to insulation or wood framing.

Aquatight's crawl space encapsulation service typically includes a thick vinyl wrap installed on the floor and walls. The material is durable enough to walk on without damage, which allows access for future service and maintenance.

Aquatight uses different encapsulation products depending on the job, including Stago vapor barrier products where appropriate.

Crawl space encapsulation helps seal off exposed soil and control moisture and humidity inside the crawl space. If water is actively entering the crawl space, Aquatight may also recommend an interior drain tile system to collect and move water away.

For many homes, the best solution is a combination of encapsulation, drainage, and commercial dehumidification.

In these cases, Aquatight can install an interior drain tile system to help collect water and move it away from the crawl space.

A crawl space drainage system may be recommended when there is standing water, wet soil, water entering during heavy rain, or ongoing moisture that cannot be controlled by encapsulation alone.

Aquatight installs commercial dehumidification systems when needed to help keep crawl space humidity under control. The recommended system may vary depending on the size of the crawl space, the moisture level, and the needs of the home.
