About Crawlspace Encapsulation and Insulation
Homeowners don’t often check their crawlspaces regularly because it doesn’t serve a practical purpose, like as storage space, for example. Even though you don’t use it, whatever is happening in your crawlspace will still impact on the daily life of those living within the home.
Given how humid the climate can be in the Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and the Newport News areas, residents need reliable home service providers, which is why Worley’s offers comprehensive Newport News services alongside our crawlspace solutions., Virginia homeowners need to maintain both their crawlspaces and cooling systems – that’s why we also offer AC repair in Williamsburg, professional crawlspace services in Seaford, AC repair in Yorktown, and throughout the Peninsula. Our Norfolk crawlspace specialists have extensive experience working with the historic homes and unique foundation types common throughout the area. Worley’s offers crawlspace insulation and encapsulation because both services can make a huge and immediate difference for your home’s comfort, efficiency, and overall health.
The Benefits of Crawlspace Encapsulation and Insulation
Did you know that a vented crawlspace supplies about 40% of the air in your home? Anything contained in that air, including odors, humidity, mold spores, and dust mite waste, contributes to poor indoor air quality.

What is Crawlspace Encapsulation and Insulation?
Crawlspace encapsulation is a multi-step process that is best performed by a professional. Before getting started, it’s smart to resolve any potential issues you have with your crawlspace, like standing water, etc. Once that’s been managed, Worley’s:
1. Installs a Vapor Barrier
We seal off the ground of your crawlspace with a plastic liner to prevent moisture infiltration. This will help prevent mold growth in your crawlspace, which if left unchecked can travel up into your living areas and negatively affect your indoor air quality.
2. Air Seals
Once the barrier has been installed, the crawlspace is then air sealed to prevent outside air from leaking into the crawlspace. Especially in seasons with extreme temperatures, this will make a significant improvement in the comfort of your home as well as decrease the amount of energy your HVAC systems have to use to run.
3. Installs Insulation
As much as it might not seem like it, your crawlspace is part of your home, and we recommend protecting it from the outdoors with that in mind! There are three areas within a crawlspace that can be insulated: the floor joist, the rim joist, and the foundation walls. A common mistake we see is having all three insulated at one time, which won’t serve you well!
Every crawlspace needs a different approach to insulation. Our trained technicians know how best to move forward with your home and budget in mind, whether you’re in Newport News, Norfolk, or need comprehensive Seaford home services for your crawlspace project.

I had Worley’s Home Services encapsulate my Crawlspace. I cannot say enough good things about the whole crew at Worley’s. All the way from Mike who came out to give me a quote for the job. He took his time to explain the process with us and kept in touch to answer any questions or concerns that had arisen. The work crew that came out to remove replace and repair the crawl space were very respectful of my house and property. They worked diligently and made sure to clean up after themselves everyday to leave no signs they were there at all. Even Chuck came out to walk me through the final checklist to make sure the job was done to his standards and expectations. Would throughly recommend this company over and over.
