Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation in Durham, NC

Review Logo 4.3 (36)

Crawl spaces in Durham, NC, are particularly vulnerable to moisture problems due to the area's average rainfall of around 44 inches per year, coupled with the humidity that often accompanies summer months. Excess moisture can accumulate in these spaces, leading to issues such as warped floors, pest infestations, and structural damage over time. To combat these challenges, our crawl space repair solutions include encapsulation techniques that involve the installation of vapor barriers, dehumidifiers, and vent covers to effectively keep moisture at bay.

At Tar Heel Basement Systems, a Groundworks Company, we specialize in providing comprehensive crawl space solutions tailored to the needs of homeowners in Durham. Our team of experts is committed to delivering high-quality service and the most effective waterproofing measures to protect your home from the damaging effects of excess moisture.

"I had THBS encapsulate the crawlspace in my Raleigh home this past week. Charles, DJ, and Leonard did an amazing job! They were timely, efficient, clear communicators, and the quality of the work is outstanding. I work from home, had been having significant issues with mold exposure over the past 1.5yrs, and only recently realized what it was. Since last week I am having no further symptoms of mold exposure and my house has rapidly gotten back to normal. 54% humidity in house, and 54% in crawlspace as I type. Used to have to wear a respirator to go in crawlspace before encapsulation. I highly recommend them, and will probably have them level my driveway next! I cannot thank them enough."

Common Causes of your Crawl Space Problems in Durham

Moisture and Humidity

Excess moisture and high humidity levels in the crawl space can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and structural damage. This often results from poor ventilation or water seepage.

Poor Drainage

Inadequate drainage systems can cause water to accumulate around the foundation, leading to water infiltration and increased moisture levels in the crawl space.

Open Crawl Space Vents

Open vents allow outside air and moisture to enter the crawl space, which can lead to condensation, mold growth, and pest infestations.

Foundation Cracks

Cracks in the foundation can compromise the structural integrity of your home by allowing water infiltration, which can lead to further deterioration and instability.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.

Understanding these common causes can help you take proactive measures to protect your crawl space and maintain the overall health of your home.
