Crawl Space Encapsulation & Repair in Maryland, Washington DC & Delaware
A damp crawl space can contribute to moisture, musty odors, wood deterioration, mold growth and structural problems beneath the home.
Affordable Basement Waterproofing provides crawl space encapsulation, drainage, sump pump installation, vapor barriers, dehumidification and structural repair throughout Maryland, Washington DC and Delaware.
The correct solution depends on where the moisture is coming from and whether the crawl space also has drainage or structural problems.

Complete Crawl Space Encapsulation
Crawl space encapsulation helps separate the crawl space from moisture coming through exposed soil and foundation surfaces.
A complete encapsulation project may include:
Crawl Space Drainage
Encapsulation alone may not solve a crawl space that receives active groundwater.
If water is entering around the perimeter or collecting beneath the crawl space, a drainage system may be needed before the area is encapsulated.
A crawl space drainage system may include:
- Perimeter drainage trench
- PVC drainage pipe
- Washed stone
- Filter fabric
- Sump pump basin
- Sump pump
- Exterior discharge line
- Cleanouts where appropriate
Crawl Space Sump Pump Installation
A sump pump may be required where groundwater regularly collects in the crawl space.
Affordable Basement Waterproofing can install sump pump systems designed to collect and discharge groundwater from beneath the home.
- New sump basins
- Zoeller sump pumps
- Check valves
- Exterior discharge lines
- Underground discharge extensions
- Battery backup sump pumps
- Secondary pump systems
Crawl Space Vapor Barrier
A properly installed vapor barrier helps reduce moisture entering the crawl space from exposed soil.
Our systems may use heavy-duty liners installed across exposed surfaces throughout the crawl space.
- Crawl space floors
- Foundation walls
- Piers
- Columns
- Other exposed areas where appropriate
Crawl Space Dehumidification
Even after groundwater and ground moisture are addressed, humidity may still need to be controlled.
A crawl space dehumidifier can help maintain a more stable environment.
Depending on the size and conditions of the crawl space, we may recommend a professional crawl space dehumidifier such as a Santa Fe system.
Crawl Space Structural Repair
Moisture is not the only problem that can develop in a crawl space. Floor framing, beams and support systems can weaken, sag or require additional reinforcement.
Crawl Space Mold & Antimicrobial Treatment
High moisture can contribute to mold or microbial growth on wood and other surfaces.
Where appropriate, affected areas can be treated with an antimicrobial product as part of the crawl space project.
Crawl Space Insulation
Crawl space insulation may also need to be repaired or replaced as part of the overall crawl space improvement plan.
Depending on the project, insulation work may include:
Insulation recommendations should be coordinated with the encapsulation and moisture-control plan.
