Solutions for Crawl Space Challenges
We are proud to provide homeowners with various solutions to common problems caused by Nashville's hot and humid summers, such as high humidity, standing water, wood rot, pests, sagging floors, and mold. Crawl space encapsulation is the best solution to these issues and the only proven method to restore your crawl space to a healthy state. A dehumidifier is crucial for controlling moisture and relative humidity, preventing mold growth, wood rot, and pests, which thrive in crawl spaces with humidity levels over 70%, typical for 6-8 months of the year in Nashville.
Crawl space doors are usually made from thin sheet metal that rusts quickly. Custom wooden doors, while more durable, also degrade over time, allowing external air and pests to enter. If your crawl space door is deteriorating, we offer long-lasting solutions to enhance your home's crawl space access and protection.
Benefits Of Our Crawl Space Services:

Our crawl space services prevent air leakage and improves insulation, sealing off the crawl space from the climate and preventing excess humidity that can make your HVAC system work harder, increasing energy bills.
Protects Structural Integrity
Encapsulating your crawl space and installing a dehumidifier are both measures you can take to protect your home against wood rot and other types of structural damage caused by moisture, preserving your home’s value and preventing costly repairs.
Mold Prevention
Proper installation of a commercial-grade crawl space dehumidifier helps reduce humidity and wood moisture levels, preventing the conditions that foster mold growth and improving the indoor air quality of your home.

The FAQs of Crawl Space Services
What Exactly Is Crawl Space Encapsulation?
Encapsulation is the process of sealing your crawl space against outside elements by installing thick, puncture, and tear-resistant vapor barriers over the ground and wrapping support columns and walls. Foundation vents are then sealed to stop outside air from entering. Once sealed, a commercial-grade dehumidifier is installed to maintain humidity at a constant.
How Long Does Crawl Space Encapsulation Take?
Encapsulation typically takes 1-3 days but depends on the crawl space size and the required level of work.
How Much Does Crawl Space Encapsulation Cost In Nashville?
The cost of encapsulating your crawl space in Nashville varies depending on the size of the crawl space, the level of work required, and any additional services requested. This is why The Clean Air Co. provides FREE crawl space inspections and answers any additional questions to give homeowners a better idea of costs.

How Much Does A Crawl Space Dehumidifier Cost To Run?
