"I first contacted Groundworks because I had a smell in my basement that I was pretty sure was wet/dampness related. It was the first smell to hit my nose when I opened the door. It was embarassing. I called Groundworks to see if they might have a solution. Warren came to do the initial inspection. He discovered that a pipe was broken in my crawlspace & recommended that I have a plumber come to fix it. The smell noticeably subsided after it was fixed. I had already decided that I would proceed with Warren's recommendations (waterproofing, installation of a sump pump & adding a dehumidifier) because I wanted the 'old basement' smell gone. The team (Ler, Htoo, EhTee & TaMla) that came to do the work were exceptional, imo. Ler let me know that the job might run over the original planned 2 days as there was some additional work because of the concrete was poured. He said they would try to get it in two, but he wanted to make me aware. He was very informative, asking me to take a look before their meal break & prior to leaving before the day so I could ask any questions. Very good communication skills. I would highly recommend Groundworks & this team that worked with me. Thank you!"

Common Causes of your Crawl Space Problems in Columbus

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.
