CRAWLSPACE ENCAPSULATION IN SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE
Exposed soil and unsealed foundation surfaces can continuously release moisture into a crawlspace. That moisture can contribute to musty odors, deteriorating insulation, wood rot, pests, and humid air moving into the living space. Broman Basement Solutions installs crawlspace moisture-control systems designed around the conditions below the home.

CRAWLSPACE ENCAPSULATION OPTIONS
An effective system is selected after we inspect the soil, walls, vents, insulation, access, drainage, sump area, and humidity conditions.
AVAILABLE MOISTURE-CONTROL COMPONENTS
Reinforced wall vapor barrier.
Heavy-duty floor liner over drainage mat where included.
Sealed seams, edges, posts, and penetrations.
Rim-joist air sealing with closed-cell spray foam where appropriate.
Replacement or improvement of crawlspace insulation.
Vent closure and access-door improvements.
Sump sealing, drainage, and dehumidification when needed.
COMMON SIGNS OF A MOISTURE PROBLEM
Musty odors, damp soil, condensation, sagging insulation, wood staining, high humidity, and pests can all indicate that the crawlspace needs a better moisture-control strategy.
A SYSTEM, NOT JUST PLASTIC ON THE FLOOR
Effective encapsulation starts with drainage and water-entry conditions. Depending on the project, a reinforced wall liner, 20-mil floor liner, drainage mat, sealed sump lid, insulation, air sealing, and dedicated dehumidifier may be combined into one moisture-control system.
OUR APPROACH
Identify active water entry and drainage needs first.
Select liner, sealing, insulation, and humidity-control components for the space.
Seal the crawlspace carefully around posts, edges, penetrations, and access points.
Explain maintenance, dehumidifier settings, and sump testing after installation.
