Crawl Space Insulation Canton MI: Encapsulation Excellence
This recent crawl space encapsulation near Ford Road solved a decades-long problem for the homeowner. The untreated crawl space was allowing cold, moist air to enter the home and caused a musty smell on the main floor. Our team performed a complete encapsulation, sealing the earth, walls, and rim joists to permanently stabilize the environment below the home.
Project Completed: Foundation walls treated with closed-cell spray foam, heavy-duty vapor barrier installed and sealed to the walls, and the main floor rim joist sealed, resulting in a temperature-stable, dry, and odor-free crawl space.

Comprehensive Crawl Space Insulation Canton MI
Crawl Space Encapsulation
The ultimate solution. We install a heavy-duty vapor barrier across the floor and seal it to the foundation walls, creating a complete seal to block ground moisture.
Closed-Cell Wall Spray Foam
We apply closed-cell foam to the interior foundation walls to provide an air-tight, waterproof, and high-performance insulation layer, transforming the crawl space into a semi-conditioned space.
Rim Joist Sealing
A critical step. We use spray foam to seal the "band joist" area in your crawl space ceiling to stop cold air infiltration and prevent drafts from entering the main level floors.
Existing Insulation Removal
We safely remove and dispose of old, sagging, or pest-damaged fiberglass batt insulation from the crawl space ceiling, which often harbors mold and pests.
Moisture Control & Dehumidification
For added protection, we can integrate a professional-grade dehumidifier as part of the encapsulation system to control any latent moisture and humidity in the air.
Home Energy Audits
Our Canton energy audits use blower door tests to measure exactly how much air leakage is coming from your crawl space, providing data to justify the upgrade.

Canton Crawl Space Insulation - Your Questions Answered
What are the signs my crawl space needs an upgrade?
Cold or soft floors above the crawl space, musty odors on the first floor, high humidity levels indoors, and evidence of pests or mold in the crawl space itself are all common signs.
Should I insulate the floor joists or the foundation walls?
We strongly recommend insulating the foundation walls and sealing the space (encapsulation). Insulating the ceiling leaves the space cold and damp, which can lead to mold and damage to the wood structure.
Will encapsulation permanently stop mold growth?
By controlling the three elements mold needs to thrive (moisture, organic material, and temperature), a proper encapsulation and air-sealing process will permanently mitigate the conditions necessary for mold and mildew growth.
How much does crawl space encapsulation cost?
Costs vary based on the size and condition of the space. A full encapsulation with spray foam on the walls typically ranges from $6,000 to $12,000, but the return on investment through energy savings and home health is significant.
