We transform musty, damp crawl spaces into clean, dry, sealed environments with professional-grade encapsulation systems built for long-term protection.

What Is Crawl Space Encapsulation?
Stop Moisture, Mold, and Air
Quality Issues for Good
Encapsulation is the process of sealing your crawl space with a durable vapor barrier, moisture protection systems, and insulation. In homes throughout Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Bethesda, and the greater DMV region, unsealed crawl spaces are often a hidden source of mold, humidity, musty odors, cold floors, and high energy bills.
Our full encapsulation system creates a controlled environment beneath your home, helping improve indoor air quality, protect your structure, reduce moisture, and increase comfort. This is especially important for older homes in Arlington and Northern Virginia, where vented crawl spaces, exposed soil, and aging moisture barriers can allow humidity to build up under the home.

Crawl Space Encapsulation FAQs
What DMV Homeowners Ask Most Often
Q: Will encapsulation improve my home’s comfort?
Yes, encapsulation helps stabilize indoor temperatures, reduce humidity, and eliminate cold floors.
Q: How long does encapsulation take?
Most crawl space encapsulation projects take 3 to 5 days depending on size and existing conditions.
Q: Can this stop mold and mildew?
Encapsulation drastically reduces moisture and humidity, which are the root causes of mold. We can also coordinate mold remediation if needed.
Q: Will I be able to use the space afterward?
Yes! Once encapsulated, your crawl space becomes clean, dry, and usable for safe storage.
Q: Do you offer warranties?
Yes. Our encapsulation systems come with long-term, transferable warranties.
Q: Why Arlington & DMV Homes Benefit from Crawl Space Encapsulation
Many homes in Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, and nearby Northern Virginia communities were built with crawl spaces that were vented, unfinished, or only lightly protected from moisture. In a humid region like the DMV, those conditions can allow damp air, ground moisture, and outside humidity to collect beneath the home.
Over time, that moisture can lead to musty odors, mold concerns, damaged insulation, pest activity, wood rot, and higher energy costs. Crawl space encapsulation helps create a cleaner, drier, more controlled environment beneath the home.

What Homeowners Are Saying
See Why DMV Is a Trusted Local Name
Posted on Google C We had a great experience with DMV Foundation. I had cracks in my foundation, and I called a number of companies. Each company suggested a different answer to the problem and estimates varied widely. I ended up hiring an independent engineer to get an unbiased opinion. The engineer's report tracked what DMV told me precisely. Amazingly, this was also the least invasive and most affordable solution. DMV earned my trust. They were honest, fair, showed up on time and did great work. I highly recommend them.Posted on Google Corinne Metz Yos and his team really know what they are doing! They inspected our home and told us what we needed. The work that was done looks great and we have no more issues. The team is highly professional, considerate and was flexible with our schedule. They have gone out of their way to accommodate us. You can’t do better than this company!!! They are the best!Posted on Google Kelly Shoop I had a consultation with DMV at the strong recommendation of my neighbor and they did not disappoint. Yos was thorough, responsive, and very patient with all of my questions, including follow up emails. I particularly appreciated the transparency on cost. Would highly recommend them to anyone in the market for waterproofing or foundation repair.Posted on Google LaGaye MacDowall Logan was so patient answering all our questions! Great customer service.Posted on Google Alexsa MacDowall Thankful for this company! Very professional and the office staff is very helpful! Definitely recommend.Posted on Google Logan Landers Russell was nothing short of awesome! Great service, great information. A++!!Posted on Google Randy Harding DMV Foundations is an absolute pleasure to work with! As a contractor who remodels homes, I’ve partnered with them on multiple projects, and they consistently excel at diagnosing foundation issues and water problems accurately and thoroughly. They always provide honest, cost-effective solutions and back them up with a skilled team that executes the work flawlessly. Communication throughout the entire process is top-notch. I highly recommend DMV Foundations and will continue using them for all my foundation needs!Posted on Google Matt Honestly, I am skeptical of home repair contractors generally. But DMV was absolutely 100% fantastic in every way. Water was leaking into my basement and I met with 3 or 4 waterproofing companies. It was clear to me that DMV was different because they were careful before giving their recommendation about how to fix it while the others had the same canned/off the shelf approach that they probably sell to everyone. They came in and did their work as they promised and it fixed the problem. I also contacted them in the middle of the night when I thought I had a gas leak and their response was immediate and excellent. In a market full of pretenders, these guys are serious professionals. I highly recommend them.Posted on Google Simone It would definitely hire DMV Foundation Solutions again if I need to. They came out and quickly determined the problem and offered a solution. They completed an exterior waterproofing project and it completely fixed the flooding I had in my basement.Posted on Google John Murphy This family owned business is incredible. Quick and responsive! thorough! helpful! and reasonably priced!
