Why Should I Worry About My Crawl Space?
Often an overlooked and unused space, it’s easy to ignore the crawl space in your home. In reality, the conditions in your crawl space are critical to the overall health and comfort of your home. Up to half of the air that you breathe in your home comes up from the lower level. If your crawl space is left vulnerable to the outside elements, especially moisture and unwanted critters, it can lead to some serious concerns. It might be time for professional crawl space repair.
Encapsulation System
Crawl space encapsulation offers a multitude of benefits for homeowners seeking to improve their indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and structural integrity. By sealing off the crawl space with a vapor barrier, this process helps to prevent moisture intrusion, mold growth, and pest infestations.
Additionally, encapsulation can lead to reduced energy costs by creating a more efficient thermal barrier in the home. By minimizing humidity levels and preventing air leaks, homeowners can enjoy a more comfortable living environment year-round. Furthermore, encapsulation can also contribute to the longevity of the home's foundation and structural components by reducing the risk of moisture-related issues like wood rot and corrosion. Overall, crawl space encapsulation is a wise investment that can result in improved indoor air quality, energy savings, and a healthier living environment for homeowners.
What are the signs? It’s important to always be on the lookout for the following issues in your lower level:
- Musty odors
- Insect or rodent infestation
- Poor indoor air quality
- Sweating or excess condensation on air ducts
- Wood rot
- Cold, uncomfortable or buckling floors
- Mildew and mold

Crawl Space Encapsulation System
Many times the crawl space can be the source of allergens, odors, and excess moisture in your home. Crawl space encapsulation is the solution. It includes the installation of a tough and durable vapor barrier along the walls and floor. This is a great way to lower moisture, mold, mildew, and many pests from your home.
Crawl Space Stabilization System
Over time, high moisture levels in a crawl space can cause rot, causing uneven floors and sagging floor joist. The weakened joist becomes unable to properly support their weight load. If these are problems you notice in your home, then you may benefit from crawl space stabilization.
Crawl Space Drainage System
Water in a crawl space is a serious concern. It can quickly cause mold, mildew, wood rot, personal damage, foundation problems, and contribute to pest infestations. It may be time to look into a crawl space drainage system.
Crawl Space Waterproofing
Water seepage along with leaky cracks along your crawl space walls can end up being a serious problem for homeowners. The same goes for standing water after a storm. These issues will end up causing mold, mildew and rot, and will only continue to worsen over time. If this is a concern to you, consider professionally waterproofing your crawl space area.
Crawl Space Doors & Vents
Your wooden crawl space doors and vents can easily warp or rot due to excess moisture in the environment. For many homeowners, the crawlspace doors may even be missing altogether. Without proper doors, your crawlspace can be left vulnerable to leaking or pests. A crawl space without sturdy doors and vent covers also allows for humid air to come into your crawl space and travel to upper levels of your home. Consider contacting a professional to get things done the right way.
Crawl Space Dehumidification
Almost all issues that you might find in your crawl space can be linked back to water. Water can destroy any crawlspace, and it’s important to address these issues right away. Excess moisture or leaks in your crawl space create harmful, unhealthy conditions that create more costly damage to contend with. We offer the best dehumidification options, so you can put these worries out of your mind.
