Crawlspace Encapsulation
Full seal-up with a heavy-duty liner, tape and fasten, closed vents and a right-sized dehumidifier.
Learn moreConverse Heights is one of Spartanburg’s most cherished historic neighborhoods, with homes dating to the early 1900s. The age and character of these homes means crawlspaces need expert attention — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Converse Heights is one of Spartanburg’s oldest and most architecturally significant neighborhoods. Walk these blocks and you’ll find Craftsman bungalows with exposed rafter tails, Colonial Revival homes with wide front porches, and Tudor-style residences with steeply pitched rooflines — most built between 1900 and 1940. Underneath all that character are original crawlspaces with stone foundations, hand-laid brick piers, and construction methods that predate modern moisture management by half a century or more.
The mature hardwood canopy and established landscaping that make Converse Heights so beautiful also keep the soil shaded and damp year-round. That persistent ground moisture drives humidity up through original dirt floors and into the floor system above. Older homes in the neighborhood often have inadequate or completely deteriorated vapor barriers that haven’t been updated in decades — some never had one installed at all. When rain drains toward the foundation and the ground never fully dries out, the crawlspace becomes a reservoir of moisture that feeds directly into the living space.
The problems we see most often in Converse Heights include musty odors drifting up through hardwood floors, sagging fiberglass insulation hanging between joists, elevated humidity readings that encourage mold growth on framing and subflooring, and damaged or missing vapor barriers that were never designed for this kind of long-term exposure. The combination of the age of these homes and Spartanburg’s humid subtropical climate makes proper crawlspace encapsulation especially important — not just for comfort, but for preserving the structural integrity these historic homes deserve.
