Crawlspace Encapsulation
Full seal-up with a heavy-duty liner, tape and fasten, closed vents and a right-sized dehumidifier.
Learn moreWillowood homes were built with builder-grade crawlspace systems that don’t hold up to Spartanburg’s humidity. JHS Crawlspace Specialist upgrades Willowood crawlspaces with professional encapsulation, vapor barriers, and dehumidifiers that actually last.
Willowood is a popular residential subdivision in the Spartanburg area with homes primarily built from the 1980s through the 2000s. While these homes are newer than some of the historic neighborhoods in the city, they come with their own set of crawlspace challenges. Builder-grade vapor barriers — usually thin 6-mil polyethylene — were standard during this construction era, and most were never properly sealed at the seams, piers, or foundation walls.
After 20 to 40 years in Spartanburg’s hot, humid climate, those original barriers have shifted, torn, or developed gaps that allow ground moisture to pour into the crawlspace unchecked. Subdivision grading can also direct rainwater toward foundations, and homes on the lower side of a slope tend to collect water under the house. We regularly find Willowood crawlspaces with humidity above 70%, condensation dripping from ductwork, and mold forming on the subfloor and joists.
The good news is that Willowood homes typically have decent crawlspace clearance and accessible entries, which makes encapsulation straightforward. We remove the old barrier, clean the space, install a heavy-duty 20-mil liner sealed at every overlap and penetration, close the foundation vents, and add a commercial dehumidifier set on a humidistat. The result is a dry, controlled environment that protects the home’s structure and improves indoor air quality.
