A Local Alternative to AquaGuard & Crawlspace Ninja
Metro Atlanta homeowners are often quoted $20,000 to $30,000 by regional franchises for crawlspace work. At Micro Clean Restoration, we provide a superior local alternative. Because we focus on root-cause moisture identification and insurance advocacy, we can often provide the same high-standard encapsulation and commercial dehumidification for significantly less.
Key Differentiators of Our Full Encapsulation

Every surface is sealed, including walls and support piers, not just the ground.
Vents Permanently Sealed
All vents are sealed to prevent humid outside air from entering the crawlspace.

An industrial dehumidifier is installed and integrated to maintain perfect humidity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is full crawlspace encapsulation?
Full encapsulation seals the crawlspace floor AND walls with heavy-duty liner, closes all vents, installs a permanent industrial dehumidifier, and creates a conditioned space that blocks moisture, mold, radon, and pests from entering your home.
What is the difference between a vapor barrier and full encapsulation?
A vapor barrier covers only the ground floor — it is the mortgage minimum. Full encapsulation seals all surfaces (floor, walls, piers), eliminates outside air infiltration, and includes a permanently installed industrial dehumidifier. Full encapsulation is the recommended long-term solution for Georgia homes.
How much does full crawlspace encapsulation cost in Atlanta?
Full crawlspace encapsulation typically costs $5,000–$15,000 depending on square footage, condition, and whether mold remediation is required first.
How long does a full encapsulation system last?
A properly installed system lasts 20–25 years. The permanent dehumidifier requires annual maintenance. Micro Clean Restoration offers maintenance plans.
Why does my crawlspace smell musty?
A musty smell in the house usually comes from mold and mildew growing in the crawlspace due to high indoor humidity and ground moisture. The stack effect pulls these crawlspace smells up into your living area.
Can crawlspace moisture cause mold?
Yes, mold under the house thrives when relative humidity exceeds 60%. Crawlspace moisture from exposed dirt floors evaporates and creates the perfect breeding ground for mold on wood joists and insulation.
Does a vapor barrier stop mold?
A basic vapor barrier helps reduce ground moisture but leaves foundation walls and vents open to humid air, which can still cause mold. Full encapsulation with a dehumidifier is required to permanently stop mold.
