Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation in Chillicothe, OH

Review Logo 4.2 (176)

Unlike a basement, a crawl space is a very small area that lifts your house off the ground. It is also convenient for storing plumbing, electrical wiring, and ductwork, but it is not without its faults. Most crawl spaces have open vents that pests can crawl through, humid summer air and cold winter air can pass through, and Chillicothe's year-round precipitation (36 inches of rain) can leak through. Elevated humidity, mold, wood rot, infestations, flooding, sagging floors, high energy bills, and other problems can result from this perfect storm brewing under your house. With permanent crawl space repair and encapsulation from Ohio Basement Authority, you can lock out these problems and create a safer and healthier living environment. We'll install solutions such as crawl space supports, drainage, sump pumps, dehumidifiers, vapor barriers, and vent covers.

"Our Inspector, Chelsa, came to our Dayton home the other day to check on some suspected foundation settling. I was extremely impressed with her knowledge, confidence and the way she went about the inspection. She walked the entire house with me, asking questions, making sure she had the layout and all adjacencies correct. After the walk-through, she set up her equipment and showed me specifically where the major problem was located and explained how it would be corrected. When she delivered her full report, it was done very professionally. When I asked her about her company and how she felt about working for them, she replied that she was proud to work for OBA and that she had a great crew working in Dayton. Chelsa also mentioned their parent company Groundworks, and the fact that they are employee owned. (Full disclosure: I'm a big Mike Rowe fan, and heard the Groundworks CEO on his podcast recently). All in all, a very, very good experience."

Common Causes of your Crawl Space Problems in Chillicothe

Moisture and Humidity

Excess moisture in your crawl space can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and structural damage over time.

Groundwater Seepage

Poor drainage or leaking pipes can lead to standing water in your crawl space, potentially causing mold growth and compromising structural integrity.

Poor Ventilation

Open vents in your crawl space allow humid air to enter, leading to condensation, mold, and long-term moisture damage.

Pest Infestations

Damp or unsealed crawl spaces create an inviting environment for rodents, termites, and other pests, leading to structural damage and contamination.

Soil Settlement

Shifting soil beneath your home can lead to foundation settlement, causing sagging floors and damage to crawl space supports.

Foundation Cracks

Cracks in crawl space foundation walls allow water, pests, and unconditioned air to enter, causing moisture and structural issues.

High Energy Bills

Poorly sealed or damaged crawl spaces can increase heating and cooling costs due to energy loss.

Stack Effect

Damage in your crawl space allows mold and odors to spread into your home. Repairing the crawl space prevents this, improving your air quality and living environment.

Climate Conditions

Heavy rains or drought can shift the soil beneath your home, leading to sagging floors or structural damage in your crawl space. Repairing these issues restores stability and protects your home from further problems.
