Priority Pest Services performs thorough crawl space encapsulation as a combination of pest control expertise and construction work. Here's what our Class A contractors do:

**During Inspection:** We check for moisture damage, wood-destroying fungi, ventilation problems, structural integrity, pest damage, and foreign objects.

**During Encapsulation:** We clean the crawl space, treat animal urine, eradicate insects, and seal the entire area. We install top-of-the-line 10-36 mil liner to wrap load-bearing beams and pier supports, with taped seams. Weather-resistant, insect-proof insulation wraps the perimeter and door.

**Our Unique Approach:** We intentionally leave a small gap around the top edge of the crawl space as a visual window to monitor for termite tunneling activity-a detail many contractors overlook.

**Optional Upgrades:** Depending on your home's needs, we can install a appropriately-sized dehumidifier.
