Heavy-gauge vapor barriers, sealed foundation vents, and a dedicated sump discharge line so your Peru, IN crawl space stops feeding moisture into the floor joists above it.
Peru, IN crawl spaces vary a lot in how they were originally built, and a liner that's correct for one home can be undersized for another depending on foot traffic and storage use. We size thickness to how the space is actually used.
Every crew member is trained specifically on liner installation, seam sealing, and vent encapsulation, not general basement work.
Peru, IN crawl space calls get scheduled fast, especially when there's standing water or an active mold smell involved.
Pricing is based on your crawl space's actual square footage and condition, quoted in writing before liner installation begins.
We measure relative humidity before and after installation to confirm the space is actually staying below the threshold where mold and wood rot take hold.
We scope every Crawl Space Encapsulation job in person before quoting it, since two properties with the same symptom rarely need the same fix.
Before any liner goes down, we pump out existing standing water and remove debris left behind by prior drainage failures.
Liner thickness is selected based on foot traffic and how the space will be used going forward, not a flat default.
Sealed vents are paired with mechanical dehumidification so the space doesn't just trap humidity instead of venting it.
A crawl space needs its own sump basin and discharge line separate from any basement system, since the two spaces drain differently.
Exposed ductwork inside an unencapsulated crawl space collects condensation, which we address by insulating and sealing ducts while the space is open.
This helps us bring the right liner thickness and dehumidifier size on the first visit.
A technician physically enters the space to check for standing water, existing liner condition, vent count, and duct exposure.
We explain trade-offs between liner thickness options so you can choose what fits your budget and goals.
Most residential encapsulations finish in one to two days depending on square footage and access.
"Our crawl space had standing water and a mold smell we couldn't get rid of no matter what we tried. Full encapsulation with a dehumidifier fixed it in one visit."
— Peru Homeowner
"Wood floors upstairs were starting to cup from crawl space humidity. Encapsulation plus a dehumidifier stopped it before we had to replace flooring."
— Peru Customer
"They caught duct condensation we didn't even know was happening down there. Sealed everything up during the same visit."
— Peru Homeowner
"Musty smell in our upstairs hallway is completely gone now that the crawl space is sealed."
— Peru Customer
We can scope either option depending on your budget and how severe the existing moisture problem is.
Most residential spaces do well with a 12-15 mil liner; spaces used for storage or with foot traffic often need 20 mil for durability.
In most Peru, IN climates, yes — open vents pull in humid air that undoes a lot of the benefit of the liner alone.
Often yes, if the crawl space is the source — sealing and dehumidifying typically resolves musty odors within a few days of installation.
Yes — we extract existing water first, then proceed with liner and vent sealing once the space is dry enough to work safely.
Most residential jobs finish in one to two days depending on square footage and how much prep work is needed.
