Does encapsulation help energy bills?

Yes. A sealed, dry crawl space reduces humidity and heat loss through the floor, and most homeowners notice warmer floors in winter.

Should crawl space vents stay open?

In our climate, open vents usually add moisture rather than removing it. Encapsulated crawl spaces are sealed and conditioned instead.

Yes. Estimates in Gypsum and throughout Eagle County are free and include an on-site inspection with a written, fixed-price scope of work.

Why Gypsum homes need crawl space encapsulation

Eagle County foundations contend with Eagle River valley cobble, expansive clay on the benches, and gypsum-rich soils west of Wolcott that dissolve and settle when they stay wet. Add deep frost lines and heavy alpine snowmelt and drainage becomes as important as structure.

As the name suggests, Gypsum sits on soluble soils that settle when wet — one of the most demanding foundation environments we work in.
