Our Crawl Space Repair Services
Wet Crawl Space
Water can leak into your crawl space through holes and cracks in your foundation and walls.
Crawl Space Dehumidifier
A dehumidifier is a device that processes the air in your crawl space, removing wet or humid air and replacing it with dry air.
Crawl Space Drainage
Our drainage system will keep your crawl space dry and help reduce structural problems from soil erosion.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
This process involves covering the walls, columns, and floor with heavy plastic to keep water out. We also install a dehumidifier to dry out the space.
Vapor Barrier
A vapor barrier is a layer of plastic installed on the ground to prevent moisture from entering the crawl space from the ground underneath your home.
Wood Joist Repair
Joists are horizontal beams that support the weight of the floor above. They are typically made of wood, spaced 16-24 inches, with the sole purpose of supporting the beams running parallel to them.
Mold Remediation
40-50% of the 1st floor air in your home originates from your crawl space, so if your crawl space has mold, you’re breathing unhealthy, moldy air.
Sump Pump
A sump pump is a device that is installed in the lowest part of your crawl space to remove water that collects in a sump basin. The basin is like a bucket with holes drilled into it. It sits at the end of the French drain lines to remove unwanted water.
Crawl Space Insulation
High humidity can cause condensation and moisture to build up on your insulation. With enough weight, your insulation will droop and eventually fall.
What are the benefits of crawl space repair?
Moisture control and increased air quality are two of the most important benefits of crawl space repair.
Increased energy efficiency also adds value to your home and saves you money in the long run.
