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.

Vicki Gurley2025-09-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After reading many great reviews, we used Dry Otter to remove mold and mildew from a newly purchased older home. Dry Otter then expertly encapsulated the crawlspace and installed a dehumidifier (Thanks Johnathan, Trey, and Desmond!!) and did the needed structual repairs. Great job!! The dehumidifier monitor now assures us that the crawlspace remains dry. THANK YOU, DRY OTTER! Rick Dunlap2025-09-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The work done by Will and his crew was excellent. I can sit in my crawlspace with a sense of calm as it is so clean.

Kimberly Jones2025-09-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After researching crawl space encapsulation and asking neighbors, I found Dry Otter. I contacted 4 companies and 2 didn’t even respond. Dry Otter came out and presented photos, info on their process & system and a quote on the spot. I appreciate their professionalism and responsiveness and the price was not only the better option but most importantly was a better material used and I like the fact they are independent family-owned. The team that did the work was Noah, Corey, Jam & Tristen. A group of very nice hard working young men. Noah was especially great and easy to work with. They called both days 20 minutes out, communicated during the process and explained everything in detail with instructions, etc. With our house being a new build only a year old, we wanted to make this important investment to protect the support beams and trusses for the long term. I’m looking forward to some energy saving as well. And, no critters or bugs will be especially nice too! I highly recommend Dry Otter! Joey Tirak2025-09-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My crawlspace needed some attention had pretty high humidity and condensation on duct work. Decided to go with an encapsulation with foam board on walls. Dry otter was great to work with. Will and Josh were the installers and their communication and professionalism was outstanding. The crawl space looks great now and thet explained everything very well. They even checked back in a couple days after the install to make sure the humidity has dropped. highly recommend Dry Otter if you need a crawl space encapsulation
