Crawl space services

Terminix can help stop moisture and pests from entering your crawl space which can help protect the integrity of your home. 

Crawl Space Services

  • Helps protect against water damage, fungi, mildew, and related odors
  • Corrects your moisture problem and protects the long-term health of your structure
  • Encapsulation

    Our encapsulation service involves the installation of a high-density, reinforced liner that covers the entire ground area, walls, and support piers within your crawl space. This protective moisture barrier helps limit moisture and humidity that can cause damage to your home over time. Our crawl space encapsulation service is designed to help:

  • Prevent wood decay and rot
  • Prevent conditions that can cause structural damage
  • Remove humidity with an ENERGY STAR-certified dehumidifier
  • Prevent standing water and facilitate proper drainage
  • Crawl Space Ventilation 

    Proper ventilation is one tool to help prevent moisture that can breed destructive rot in your crawl space. Our ventilation system automatically opens and closes your vents according to the weather. Our crawl space ventilation system can help:

  • Prevent wood decay due to fungi
  • Protect pipes from freezing temperatures
  • Prevent conditions that attract pests
  • Floor Support Systems

    Even with preventative measures, floors can still deteriorate over time. Adding extra support to replace old wood and materials can help ensure your home remains stable and strong. Our floor support systems can help address deterioration caused by:

  • Improper water drainage
  • Floorboard and support warping caused by temperature changes
  • Moisture buildup and humidity
  • Vapor Barrier

    Vapor barriers are applied directly to the soil under your house to help reduce ambient moisture and lower the wood moisture content of your home's floor frame. Our vapor barrier service can be the first line of defense against moisture and the damage it can do to your home, including:

  • Wood decay and rot
  • Rusty, damaged pipes
  • Deteriorating insulation
  • Electrical issues 
  • The presence of pests
  • crawl space window with light

    Frequently Asked Questions - Crawl Space Treatments

    How often you need to replace your crawl space vapor barrier depends on several factors, including the condition of your crawl space and weather damage. Most vapor barriers can last 10-20 years. Seeing issues like cracks, water pooling, or significant wear and tear may be a good indicator that you need to replace your crawl space moisture barrier.

    The cost of a crawl space vapor barrier depends on several factors, such as the location and size of your home. During your inspection, our technicians will give you an estimate for the cost of vapor barriers for your home.  

    While it is possible to DIY crawl space vapor barriers, it may not be the best solution. Our experts are trained to ensure that the vapor barrier is installed correctly and efficiently, helping provide maximum protection against moisture and its potentially damaging effects. In addition, improperly installed crawl space moisture barriers can lead to moisture build-up, mold growth, and even structural damage over time. If not done correctly, taking the DIY approach can be more expensive in the long run. 

    At Terminix, we offer several solutions to effectively moisture-proof your crawlspace and combat mold growth and wood rot. Encapsulation seals your crawlspace with a high-quality vapor barrier that prevents moisture penetration. In addition, enhancing ventilation can help reduce moisture levels and improve air quality by circulating dry air throughout the space. Together, these services form a reliable defense against moisture.
