Crawl Space & Basement Insulation
How crawl space encapsulation helps your home
An open, damp crawl space pulls cold air and moisture into your home. Over time that can mean cold floors, musty odors, higher humidity and higher heating bills.
Midwest Insulation encapsulates crawl spaces with a membrane liner, insulates the walls and seals the rim joists with spray foam. One customer told us their crawl space went from neglected to “clean, dry, cobweb and bug free and all white.”
We also insulate basements and rim joists in finished and unfinished basements throughout Jackson, Ann Arbor and the surrounding area.
Warmer floors
Insulating below the living space keeps floors comfortable all winter.
Less moisture
A sealed liner helps keep ground moisture out of your home.
Cleaner air
Less damp air rising from below means fewer musty odors.

What is crawl space encapsulation?
Encapsulation covers the crawl space floor and walls with a durable membrane liner and seals it, so ground moisture and outside air stay out. We often pair it with insulation and rim joist spray foam.
Will encapsulation help my heating bills?
Yes. Sealing and insulating the crawl space and rim joists cuts the cold air that leaks into your home from below.
Do you insulate finished basements?
Yes. We insulate basements and rim joists. During the estimate we will look at your basement and recommend the right approach.
How long does a crawl space project take?
It depends on the size and condition of the space. We give you a clear timeline with your free estimate.
Client success stories
Homeowners feel the difference the first cold night
“I hired Midwest to spray a bonus room, add insulation in my attic area, put a membrane liner in my crawl spaces, as well as spray my rim joists. I heat with a wood boiler system and have only had to add wood to my boiler once in a week (normally fill it once a day). Everything I was promised was delivered on. I would recommend these guys to anyone.”
“Staff was knowledgeable, friendly and prompt. The Field Service Engineer who came on site took the time to explain details to me. My testing was thorough and performed with state of the art test equipment. Pricing was very reasonable for the work performed. Will use them again!”
“Midwest Insulation did a great job with encapsulation and insulation on the crawlspace under my home. They are very reasonably priced, timely and efficient. The crawlspace is now clean, dry, cobweb and bug free and all white. I would recommend Midwest Insulation to everyone.”
