Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation in Portage, MI

Review Logo 4.9 (904)

In Portage, many homes feature crawl spaces that can be affected by the region's high levels of moisture, particularly during the spring thaw and rainy seasons. The average annual precipitation of around 30 inches, combined with the clay-rich soil, makes it essential to address potential water intrusion in crawl spaces. Issues such as mold, wood rot, and sagging floors can arise when moisture becomes trapped in these areas. Foundation Systems of Michigan offers comprehensive crawl space repair services, including encapsulation systems that utilize high-quality vapor barriers and energy-efficient dehumidifiers to maintain a healthy environment beneath your home.

Why your neighbors trust Foundation Systems of Michigan

We've earned 870 five star reviews.

"We recently had our crawl space encapsulated by FSM and the results are very impressive. The crew consisting of Tim, Kody, and Sid kept us informed all along the way. These guys attended to the work with diligence and care. They were thoughtful and took care that the work area was neat as well as our home. We can't thank them enough for the professional way they executed the project. When all was complete, I inspected the crawl space and was overwhelmed with the attention to detail and how meticulous Tim, Kody, and Sid are upon me seeing the results of their labor. These guys demonstrated a pride in what they do and it shows in the way they interacted with us. If anyone ever asks me about what to do about their crawl space I will certainly recommend FSM most strenuously and certain tell them if they get the work done, to ask for Tim, Kody, and Sid."

Types of Crawl Space Damage in Portage

Common Causes of your Crawl Space Problems in Portage

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.
