Crawl Space Repair

What causes crawl space moisture?

Water or moisture inside a crawl space can cause many different structural problems. Moisture will eventually evaporate, rise, and spread throughout the rest of the house. This can cause wood rot, mold, and other poor structural conditions. Moisture is able to enter into a crawl space through open crawl space vents. Any exposed dirt residing in the crawl space easily absorbs the moisture entering through an open vent.

A number of issues contribute to crawl space moisture, including:

• Humidity or rainy weather
• Poor drainage systems
• Plumbing leaks

When water or moisture develops in a crawl space, serious problems begin in the rest of your home. We offer crawl space repair services to help combat these problems you may be facing.

7 Crawl Space Repair Solutions

Rid your home of mold, moisture, and humidity while improving its health and energy efficiency. We offer several methods for resolving your crawl space issues, including:

1. Install a concrete floor

Installing a concrete floor is one way to isolate your home from increased mold, radon, and humidity levels associated with an exposed dirt or gravel crawl space.

2. Drain your crawl space

Crawl space drainage removes unwanted water from your crawl space with a sump pump.

3. Condition your crawl space

For a conditioned crawl space, we can connect a vent from your HVAC system to the crawl space. Fresh air will constantly enter your crawl space, which will create healthy airflow.

4. Dehumidify the crawl space

We remove moist, damp air from your crawl space with the installation of a dehumidifier specifically designed for this purpose.

5. EZ Breathe Device

We can install an EZ Breathe device to remove moist, damp air from your crawl space.

6. Install insulation

We will treat crawl space walls by installing a specialized radiant reflective insulation which lowers energy costs and stops future mold growth.

7. Crawl space encapsulation

We can encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from moisture, pests, and other environmental factors.
