Protect Your Home's Foundation & Air Quality with IICRC-Certified Mitigation

Crawl Space Encapsulation

Your crawl space plays a crucial role in the overall health of your home. Did you know that up to 50% of the air on your first floor comes directly from beneath your house? If you have an unsealed, vented dirt crawl space, excess moisture can lead to mold growth, wood rot, structural damage, and poor indoor air quality.

As an IICRC-Certified firm and 7-time “Best of the Best” winner, Certified Restoration and Squeaky Peak provides comprehensive crawl space encapsulation and moisture mitigation services. We proudly protect homes and businesses across Erie, Huron, Ottawa, Sandusky, and Seneca counties. From Sandusky and Fremont to Norwalk, Port Clinton, Huron, and Lakeside Marblehead, our specialized team creates a clean, dry, and energy-efficient environment beneath your home, safeguarding your investment and your family’s well-being.

Benefits of Crawl Space Encapsulation

⚠️ 5 Signs Your Crawl Space is Failing

Most homeowners rarely look under their house, meaning moisture damage can spread for years unnoticed. If you experience any of these warning signs inside your home, an unsealed crawl space is likely to blame:

  • Musty Odors: A persistent, damp smell in your living room or hallways is usually mold and mildew drafting up from the exposed dirt below.
  • Buckling Hardwood Floors: Excess humidity trapped beneath your home causes the subfloor to swell, which makes hardwood and laminate floorboards cup, warp, or separate.
  • Unexplained Allergies: Because up to 50% of your first-floor air originates from the crawl space, a damp dirt floor will constantly pump mold spores and dust mites into your breathing air.
  • High Energy Bills: Outdated, open crawl space vents let freezing winter air and humid summer air directly under your floors, forcing your HVAC system to work overtime.
  • Call for an Inspection: Do not wait for structural wood rot to set in. Call our mitigation experts at (419) 616-0065 for a professional evaluation and encapsulation estimate.
