Offering Crawlspace Encapsulation Services in Springfield MO and Surrounding Areas
Crawlspaces are an important part of your home’s foundation, but they are very vulnerable to water damage and mold. If your crawlspace is exposed to moisture, the result is often a toxic environment and an expensive repair job for your home.
Did you know? The term Crawlspace encapsulation actually represents six unique services.
A true encapsulation consists of the following:
- Interior Drainline (AKA Drain tile) system
- Drainage Matting (AKA Dimple Board)
- Vapor Barrier (AKA Moisture Barrier)
- Reflective Crawlspace wall Insulation (on the rim joists as well)
- Professionally installed Sump Pump with Anti-Freeze
- Commercial Grade Dehumidification System
Here at Guardian we can do a full Encapsulation service or most any combination of the services above
In addition to our full encapsulation service, Guardian also offers these crawlspace services: Old Insulation Removal (Fiberglass batting is often the cause of high moisture content and wood rot!)
Mold Treatment (We treat the wood using an EPA registered product called RMR 141 RTU designed to kill and treat common household molds)
Wood Splice Reinforcement (AKA Sister Beam Reinforcement) Floor Raising and Support with Galvanized Steel Jacks ( See our “floor support” under the “Services” tab for more information)
Prevent Costly Damage:
If the crawlspace under your home is damp and moldy, it’s time to encapsulate it. A crawlspace that is left to nature and exposed earth will cause mold, mildew, moisture, wood rot, floor sagging issues, allergies, poor air quality, as well as over work your heating and air system.
Did you Know the term “Encapsulation” was coined in 1999? Encapsulation is a new service and a critical one. Many northern states have codes surrounding crawlspace protection, so don’t wait until it is too late to protect your home.
We’re your best choice when you need a crawlspace encapsulation company in the Springfield MO area. We will come to your home, assess your needs, and create a custom solution that is cost-effective and meets all of your expectations. We use only high-quality products from trusted manufacturers.

Most handy men get lazy, unfortunately for the home owner that means paying top dollar for a subpar unit or a sump pump incorrectly installed. Don’t leave sump pump systems to people who are not experts in the field. Each basin should have drainage rock, the appropriate basin size, a check valve, anti-freeze unit, and each sump pump discharge line should be buried and extended away from the foundation wall to prevent water from coming back again. Don’t play around with water, protect against it with GUARDAIN.
