Sticking doors or windows.
Wood rot.
Musty odors that keep appearing during humid periods of weather.
High humidity levels in the home from pooling water underneath.

Why is Fixing a Crawl Space Important?

Based on seasons, problems may appear better or worse when it comes to crawl space issues. However, if you’re experiencing moisture under your home, this can take a toll over time by creating odors, mold and wood rot. Moisture can also cause floors to bow and bend, creating the “bouncy floor” effect. Encapsulating your crawl space can prevent these issues long-term for your home, and when paired with floor jacks, can provide preventative foundation stabilization. Encapsulation and even provide additional storage space!

Uneven Floor & Crawl Space Repair

Crawl Spaces are a component of a home’s foundation that is typically out of sight, but is important to the overall structural integrity of your home. Having bouncy or uneven floors usually is a sign that your crawl space may need attention and that you might have a sinking foundation. Additionally, crawl space can be the cause of high energy bills and high humidity in a home.

Crawl Space Encapsulation

To Encapsulate a crawl space, various barriers and sealing systems are available by our team. These turn your dirty or wet crawl space into a energy efficient space that blocks out pest, mold and wood rot under your home. Encapsulated crawl spaces can even be used as additional storage!

Questions About Crawl Spaces

What are the benefits of encapsulating my crawl space?

Encapsulating your crawl space offers numerous benefits, including improved air quality within your home, increased energy efficiency, and protection against moisture-related issues such as mold, mildew, and wood rot. It also helps deter pests and can create additional storage space that is clean and dry.

How can I tell if my crawl space needs repair or maintenance?

Signs that your crawl space may require repair or maintenance include musty odors, visible mold growth, standing water or dampness, pest infestations, and sagging floors above the crawl space. Inspections can reveal issues with insulation, vapor barriers, or structural integrity that need to be addressed.

What is the difference between crawl space encapsulation and insulation?

Crawl space encapsulation involves sealing the entire crawl space with a vapor barrier, which includes the floors, walls, and sometimes the ceiling, to control moisture. Insulation, on the other hand, is added to the crawl space walls and ceiling to maintain temperature control and improve energy efficiency. Both can be used together for optimal protection and performance.

How does waterproofing a crawl space prevent mold and mildew growth?

Waterproofing a crawl space involves installing a vapor barrier, proper drainage, and potentially a dehumidifier to control moisture levels. By preventing water and excessive humidity from entering the space, the environment becomes less conducive to mold and mildew growth, thereby protecting the structural integrity of your home and the health of its occupants.
