Excellent work from Queen Foundation Repair! From beginning to end, the crew operated with efficiency and professionalism. Carlos and his team completed the foundation repair project in less than four days, and even our neighbors have complimented the immediate transformation. I highly recommend them for foundation work, foundation repair, and water restoration.

I had a persistent rat problem in my crawlspace. After years of dealing with exterminators, I turned to QFR, and they solved the issue. Not only did they address the rats, but they also fixed some hidden plumbing leaks. Their crew worked quickly and efficiently, performing exceptional water damage, water restoration, and crawl space encapsulation services.

Hi, I had some cracks in my foundation after purchasing my new home and was concerned about them. Queen Foundation Repair made everything a very easy and stress-free process. They came out and repaired these cracks within a day, and the crew, including Dario and Sharon, was very knowledgeable. Thanks very much!

I cannot say enough about these guys — they were a pleasure to work with. Sharon, who was extremely knowledgeable, handled the scheduling, and Carlos and Dario did the assessment and repair of the foundation issues we were having. They answered every question we had, showed up exactly when they said they would, and back all of their work with a lifetime guarantee. Your search for a foundation repair company is over!

I'm very pleased with the results. I can clearly see the excellent work Jason's crew did on our crawl space. His team was friendly and left the property clean. This is the first time I've posted a review because I think people should know about them. Call them when you need crawl space repairs in Albany NY!

The customer care provided by Queen Foundation repair was exceptional. From the first contact to the final walkthrough, they were attentive, informative, and very responsive to my questions and concerns. They took the time to explain the encapsulation process and how it would benefit my home. Their crew was respectful and ensured that the work was completed to a high standard. It's clear that they value their customers and take pride in their work. Our crawl space is now dry, clean, and well-insulated. Highly recommended!

I'm absolutely delighted with the exceptional assessment service provided by Queen Foundation Repair! When I noticed sloping floors in our bungalow, I knew I needed expert help. Scheduling an assessment was a breeze via email, and John arrived promptly as scheduled. His warm and personable demeanor put me at ease, and his expertise shone through as he quickly identified the root cause of our issue.

I reached out to this company about an issue they couldn't handle, but they were very responsive. They did a thorough inspection and gave recommendations related to their specialty. They even provided a reference number for another company that could help with our issue. They're great for foundation repair work, and I'd definitely recommend them.

Signs Your Crawl Space Needs Encapsulation

Crawl Space Warning Signs

These warning signs mean moisture is already doing damage under your home.

Damp crawl space with bare dirt floor and open foundation vent letting humid air inside

Musty Smell Coming From Your Crawl Space

That damp, earthy smell in your hallway or living room usually starts under the house. Moisture from bare dirt feeds mold — and the odor rises right through your floors into the air your family breathes.

Moisture-damaged floor joists sagging in a crawl space beneath a home

Sagging or Bouncy Floors

Floors that feel soft, uneven, or bouncy mean the wood underneath is getting weak. Moisture rots floor joists over time, and the damage only gets worse the longer it sits.

White and black mold growth on wooden floor joists inside a crawl space

Mold Growing on Crawl Space Joists

White, green, or black mold on your floor joists and subfloor means humidity is way too high. Once mold starts, it spreads fast — and the spores travel into your living space through every gap in the floor.

Standing water pooling on bare dirt floor in a residential crawl space

Standing Water Under Your House

Water pooling in your crawl space after rain is a serious problem. It speeds up mold growth, attracts termites and pests, and breaks down the wood that holds up your home.

Crawl Space Moisture Control That Stops the Problem for Good

Crawl space encapsulation turns a damp, dirt-floor crawl space into a clean, dry, sealed space. A heavy-duty vapor barrier locks out moisture from the ground. Sealed vents stop humid air from pouring in. A commercial dehumidifier keeps the space dry for good. The result is cleaner air inside your home, stronger floors, and lower energy bills.

Vapor Barrier Installation

A 20-mil reinforced vapor barrier covers the entire floor and runs up the walls. Every seam gets taped and sealed so no moisture passes through. This is the core of every encapsulation job — it cuts off the biggest source of humidity under your house.

Crawl Space Drainage

If water pools under your home after rain, we install a drainage system beneath the vapor barrier to move it to a sump pit and pump it out. The barrier stays dry on top while the drain handles the water underneath.

Crawl Space Dehumidifier Installation

A commercial-grade dehumidifier keeps humidity below the mold threshold after everything is sealed. Big-box dehumidifiers burn out in a year — ours are built for crawl spaces and run continuously with minimal maintenance.

Our Process

How Crawl Space Encapsulation Works

1

Free Crawl Space Inspection

We go under your house, take moisture readings, check for mold, look at the floor joists, and photograph everything. Then we show you exactly what we found and explain what it means — in plain English.

2
$0

Custom Encapsulation Plan

No two crawl spaces are the same. We build a plan based on what your home actually needs — whether that's drainage, mold treatment, structural repair, or just a barrier and dehumidifier. You get a written estimate with every line item explained.

Vapor Barrier and Drainage Installation

Our crew covers the floor and walls with a heavy-duty reinforced vapor barrier, seals every vent, and installs drainage if water is an issue. Everything gets taped, fastened, and sealed tight.

Dehumidifier Setup and Final Walkthrough

We install a commercial-grade dehumidifier to keep humidity in check. Then we walk you through the finished crawl space, show you photos, and explain what to expect going forward.

Why Choose Queen Foundation Repair

Most homeowners who call us have already been online for hours. They've read the horror stories about oversold jobs, cheap materials, and companies that disappear after cashing the check. We get it. That's why we show you photos from your own crawl space, explain every line on the estimate, and give you time to decide — no pressure, no "sign today" discounts.

We use 20-mil reinforced vapor barriers, commercial-grade crawl space dehumidifiers, and proper drainage systems — not thin plastic and big-box dehumidifiers that burn out in a year. Every job comes with a written warranty that spells out exactly what's covered and for how long. No fine print that takes away what the headline promised.

Your crawl space is the foundation of your home's air quality, structural strength, and energy performance. We don't treat it like an afterthought. Every job gets a thorough inspection, a plan built for your house, and a follow-up to make sure the humidity dropped, the smell is gone, and your home feels different.

Crawl Space Encapsulation Questions & Answers

How much does crawl space encapsulation cost?

It depends on the size of your crawl space and what it needs. A home with no water or mold issues costs less than one that needs drainage, mold cleanup, or structural work. We give you a detailed estimate during your free inspection — every item listed, nothing hidden.

Is crawl space encapsulation worth it?

Yes. About half the air you breathe on your first floor comes up from the crawl space. If there's moisture, mold, or pests down there, that's what your family is breathing. Encapsulation stops that cycle. Most homeowners notice lower energy bills, fewer allergy symptoms, and floors that feel solid again. And fixing the damage later always costs more than sealing the space now.

What is the difference between a vapor barrier and full encapsulation?

A vapor barrier is just a sheet of plastic on the dirt floor. It blocks some ground moisture but doesn't seal the walls, close the vents, or control humidity. Full encapsulation covers the floor and walls with a heavy-duty reinforced barrier, seals all vents, and adds a commercial dehumidifier to actively keep humidity low. One is a bandaid. The other is a real fix.

Do I need a dehumidifier with crawl space encapsulation?

Yes. Sealing the crawl space traps whatever moisture is already in the air, wood, and concrete. Without a dehumidifier to pull that moisture out and keep humidity below the mold threshold, a sealed space can actually make things worse. A commercial crawl space dehumidifier is a core part of the system — not an add-on.

How long does crawl space encapsulation take?

Most jobs take one to three days. A straightforward encapsulation with a vapor barrier and dehumidifier wraps up faster. Jobs that also need drainage, mold treatment, or structural repairs take a bit longer. We give you a clear timeline before any work starts.
