Radon Gone team offers professional crawl space encapsulation services in greater Chicagoland area.


Neglected crawl spaces can cause significant issues for a home, including moisture accumulation, mold growth, pest infestations, and poor indoor air quality. These problems can severely impact the structural integrity of a property and pose health risks to its occupants. It is essential to regularly inspect and maintain crawl spaces to ensure the safety and well-being of the home and its residents.


Crawlspace encapsulation is a process where a heavy-duty polyethylene barrier is installed to cover the crawlspace, including the floors, walls, and sometimes the ceiling. This barrier, typically 6-20 mils thick, is sealed with heavy-duty tape to prevent moisture, pests, and outside elements from entering the crawlspace.


It helps regulate the temperature in the home, reduces the risk of mold, mildew, and fungal growth, eliminates musty odors, increases indoor air quality, lowers home heating and cooling energy bills, and eliminates the risk of pest infestations.

Drains & Sump Pumps Installation

One of the initial steps in crawlspace encapsulation is the installation of a sump pump. The interior drain collects water that seeps beneath the home, directing it toward the sump pump.



Once the water level in the sump pump reaches a specific point, a float switch activates the pump, discharging the water away from the house.

Vapor Barrier Installation

A crawl space liner is installed on the walls and floors to prevent water vapor and humidity from entering. This method keeps the crawl space dry, safeguarding the home's structure from mold and dry rot.



The liner also includes a mold-resistant additive to prevent mold and mildew growth on its surface, ensuring a long-lasting, effective barrier against moisture.

Vent Covers Installation

To prevent humidity, we seal any open crawl space vents. Installing airtight covers ensures that no moisture enters the crawl space, protecting it from mold, mildew, and rot.



Sealed vents also prevent pests from entering, contributing to a healthier and more durable crawl space environment.

Crawl Space Dehumidifiers

A dehumidifier is crucial for crawl space moisture control. By installing a dehumidifier, you can ensure that humidity levels are effectively controlled, preventing moisture-related issues.



This also enhances the energy efficiency of your home and improves the overall air quality, creating a healthier and more comfortable living environment.
