Heavy-gauge vapor barriers, sealed foundation vents, and a dedicated sump discharge line so your Bloomfield Hills, MI crawl space stops feeding moisture into the floor joists above it.
A rushed encapsulation job with unsealed seams or unwrapped piers looks fine on day one and fails within a season. We treat seam sealing and pier wrapping as core parts of the install, not optional add-ons that get skipped to save time.
We follow manufacturer specs on liner overlap and seam tape so the barrier actually holds up over time.
Bloomfield Hills, MI 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.
Every Bloomfield Hills, MI Crawl Space Encapsulation job starts with an inspection, not a generic package — here's what that typically includes.
Extraction equipment includes submersible pumps sized for tight crawl space access points.
Liner thickness is selected based on foot traffic and how the space will be used going forward, not a flat default.
Open foundation vents pull in humid outside air, which is often the real driver of Bloomfield Hills, MI crawl space condensation — we seal them as part of encapsulation.
We route discharge lines well away from the foundation so pumped water doesn't just cycle back in.
We also check subfloor insulation for water damage and replace anything compromised before closing the liner.
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.
You'll see square footage, liner grade, vent sealing, and dehumidifier specs broken out in the written estimate.
Most residential encapsulations finish in one to two days depending on square footage and access.
"Found out our old vapor barrier had huge gaps at every seam. They redid it properly and sealed the vents too."
— Bloomfield Hills Homeowner
"Sump discharge from the old system was dumping water right back next to the foundation. They rerouted it and the crawl space finally dried out."
— Bloomfield Hills Customer
"They caught duct condensation we didn't even know was happening down there. Sealed everything up during the same visit."
— Bloomfield Hills Homeowner
"Humidity reading before was over 80%. After encapsulation it's holding steady in the 50s."
— Bloomfield Hills Customer
We can scope either option depending on your budget and how severe the existing moisture problem is.
We'll recommend a thickness based on how the space is actually used, not just a default.
In most Bloomfield Hills, MI climates, yes — open vents pull in humid air that undoes a lot of the benefit of the liner alone.
If the smell persists after encapsulation, that usually points to a separate moisture source we'd need to investigate.
Standing water doesn't disqualify a space from encapsulation; it's just the first step in the process.
Spaces with extensive prior water damage or debris may take longer — we'll give you a realistic estimate up front.
