Crawl Space Dehumidifiers

A professional crawl space dehumidifier helps control humidity in homes where moisture levels remain elevated. Thermal Solutions primarily installs Aprilaire crawl space dehumidifiers and also has access to Santa Fe, Honeywell, and Seaira Global Watch-Dog equipment when the application calls for it.

Vapor Barriers

We install crawl space vapor barriers starting at 8 mil thickness to help reduce ground moisture from entering the crawl space. This is a practical option for homes that need better moisture control but may not require a full encapsulation.

Full Crawl Space Encapsulation

For homes with more serious moisture, comfort, or crawl space concerns, we offer full encapsulation options using 12 mil reinforced, 16 mil, and 20 mil vapor barrier systems to separate your crawl space from ground moisture and outside air conditions.

Crawl Space Comfort Improvements

Improvements may include sealing foundation vents, insulating walls, sealing access doors, removing old vapor barrier, removing fallen insulation, and addressing issues that affect ductwork and HVAC performance.

Not Every Crawl Space Needs a
Full Encapsulation

Some homes need a reinforced vapor barrier. Some need a sealed and insulated crawl space. Others may need a dedicated crawl space dehumidifier or conditioned air from the HVAC system serving the home.

The right solution depends on the condition of the crawl space, humidity levels, ductwork, insulation, drainage, access, and how the home is performing.

At Thermal Solutions, we look at the crawl space as part of the whole comfort system. Our goal is to recommend the solution that fits the home, not push the most expensive option.

Your Crawl Space and
HVAC System Work Together

In many homes, ductwork, drain lines, insulation, and HVAC equipment are located in or affected by the crawl space. When the crawl space has excess humidity or poor moisture control, it can contribute to sweating ductwork, comfort issues, musty odors, and unnecessary strain on the HVAC system.

Because Thermal Solutions works on both HVAC systems and crawl space comfort solutions, we can look at the full picture instead of treating the crawl space as a separate problem.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • You may need a crawl space dehumidifier if your crawl space stays humid, smells musty, has sweating ductwork, or continues to have moisture concerns after a vapor barrier is installed. Not every crawl space needs one, but it can be an important part of controlling humidity.

  • A vapor barrier usually covers the crawl space floor to help reduce ground moisture. Encapsulation is a more complete system that may include sealed vents, reinforced liner, sealed seams, wrapped piers, wall coverage, insulation, and humidity control.

  • Yes. Crawl space humidity can affect ductwork, insulation, comfort, and how hard the HVAC system has to work. If the duct system or equipment is located in the crawl space, moisture control becomes even more important.

  • The timeline depends on the size of the crawl space, access, existing conditions, insulation removal, vapor barrier thickness, wall treatment, and whether a dehumidifier is being installed. Thermal Solutions can provide a clearer timeline after evaluating the space.

  • It can help when the smell is related to crawl space moisture, humidity, or poor air conditions. The source of the moisture should be addressed first so the crawl space does not continue creating the same problem.

  • Yes. Financing options are available for qualifying crawl space solutions, including vapor barrier replacement, dehumidifier installation, and full encapsulation projects.
