The Problem With Unprotected Crawl Spaces
Entering an unprotected crawl space often reveals an all-too-familiar problem – the musty smell of mold and mildew. These damp, dark spaces are the perfect breeding ground for moisture-loving fungi. Worse yet, the contaminated air in the crawl space can seep into your living areas, compromising indoor air quality.
Traditional vented crawl spaces only exacerbate the issue, allowing hot, humid summer air to enter and cool, leading to higher relative humidity. That’s why Basement Panther recommends crawl space encapsulation – a specialized system that seals off the crawl space and maintains ideal moisture levels year-round.
The Benefits of Crawl Space Encapsulation
By encapsulating your crawl space, you can enjoy a variety of benefits that improve your home’s health, comfort, and energy efficiency:
- Improved Air Quality: Sealing off the crawl space prevents mold, mildew, and other pollutants from entering your living areas, ensuring cleaner, healthier air throughout your home.
- Increased Energy Efficiency: An encapsulated crawl space reduces air leaks, helping to significantly lower your heating and cooling costs by up to 20%, providing you with financial relief.
- Reduced Pest Infestations: The vapor barrier and sealing process make it much harder for rodents, insects, and other unwanted pests to access your crawl space.
Crawl Space Encapsulation Process
When you choose Basement Panther Waterproofing for your crawl space encapsulation, here’s what you can expect:
- 100% vapor barrier coverage on the crawl space floor
- Sealing of all crawl space vents
- Application of an EPA-registered anti-fungal treatment
- Insulation in the crawl space of foundation walls and band joints (if needed)
- Sealing of all seams and joints
- Installation of a custom crawl space dehumidifier and condensate pump (if required)
This comprehensive approach creates a dry, sealed environment that prevents moisture intrusion and maintains ideal humidity levels – even when outdoor conditions change.

WHY WATERPROOF YOUR BASEMENT?
PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT
Water intrusion is not only inconvenient, it is erosive. Water penetrating your foundation is creating more damage each time it occurs, and will eventually lead to the failure of your home’s foundation. A subfloor pressure relief system will manage the ground water, and remove it from your home’s foundation before it can cause any further damage, protecting your investment for many years to come.
REMOVE UNHEALTHY CONDITIONS
Wet or damp conditions in your home’s basement or crawlspace leads to a whole host of potential health issues. From infestations of bugs and small animals or snakes, to even more harmful mold colonization. A damp or musty smell in a basement or crawlspace is evidence of mold growth.
INCREASE HOME VALUE
Nobody wants to buy a home with a water problem. A damp musty smell is red flag for potential purchasers. Removing this issue will increase interest in your home, when you add in the transferable warranty that we offer, this will increase the re-sale value of your home up to 25%. A comfortable and inviting finished basement will increase the value even more.
