Crawl Space Encapsulation | Hueytown, AL

Crawl space moisture is one of the most overlooked threats to a home’s long-term stability. At A+ Foundation Repairs & Home Improvement, we help homeowners in Hueytown, AL, and across the state protect their homes from mold, mildew, and structural rot with expert moisture control and encapsulation solutions. With over 40 years of experience, we know exactly how Alabama’s humid climate affects homes—and how to stop that moisture from causing serious damage underneath yours.

Whether you're dealing with a damp crawl space, persistent odors, or soft, sagging floors, our team is ready to help you reclaim the health and safety of your home from the ground up.

The crawl space may be out of sight, but it plays a major role in your home’s air quality, energy efficiency, and structural safety. Excess moisture in this space can lead to mold growth, wood rot, pest infestations, and even damage to your floor joists and insulation.

Without proper moisture control, you may notice:

A musty odor rising through the house
Cold, damp floors above the crawl space
Higher energy bills due to humidity
Visible mold or mildew in the home
Soft or sagging floors

These signs may start small, but they tend to escalate quickly—especially in Alabama’s high-humidity environment.

Crawl space encapsulation is a process that seals off your crawl space from the ground and outside air. At A+ Foundation Repairs & Home Improvement, we install a thick, durable 12-mil vinyl vapor barrier—similar in feel to a swimming pool liner—along the ground, walls, and support piers beneath your home.

This barrier:

Blocks moisture from entering the crawl space
Prevents mold growth and wood rot
Improves air quality inside your home
Makes the space less attractive to pests and critters
Extends the life of your foundation and flooring systems

In some cases, we may also recommend installing a dehumidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels and create a dry, healthy environment under your home year-round.

Between frequent rain, dense clay soils, and high summer humidity, homes in Alabama are constantly under pressure from the elements. Crawl spaces, in particular, are vulnerable to moisture intrusion—and once that moisture gets in, it doesn’t go away on its own.

Encapsulation is one of the best long-term investments you can make in the health of your home. It’s especially important for houses with:

Ventilated or open crawl spaces
Uneven ground or poor drainage
Past pest or mold issues
Musty air or visible condensation

We’ve helped hundreds of Alabama homeowners prevent costly repairs simply by controlling what’s happening underneath their homes.

We begin every project with a full inspection of your crawl space. From there, we develop a custom plan based on your home’s layout, soil conditions, and moisture levels. Our team works quickly and cleanly, completing most encapsulations in just a few days.

Our moisture control solutions often include:

Crawl space encapsulation with high-grade vapor barrier
Dehumidifier installation (if needed)
Minor floor support or joist repair
Drainage improvements or sump pump recommendations
Sealing vents or other access points to block moisture entry

You’ll get a cleaner, healthier crawl space—and peace of mind knowing your home is protected from the ground up.

We’ve been working under Alabama homes for over four decades. Moisture control isn’t a side service—it’s part of what we do best. From the first inspection to the final seal, we handle every detail with professionalism, transparency, and care.

Here’s why we’re trusted across Hueytown and the entire state:
