Denver Crawl Space Repair
Dealing with a wet, musty, damp crawl space in your Denver home is zero fun. However, the alternative of letting the problem fester can be far, far worse. Although most homeowners are blissfully unaware of the importance of their crawl space, it plays an important role in the structural integrity of your home.
Your crawl space connects your home to the foundation, and when it suffers, your safety could be at risk. The soil in Denver is clay loam; this means a dirt crawl space absorbs water easily, releasing moisture into the air causing high humidity, mold growth, and musty odors. Left untreated, these moisture-related problems can lead to wood rot, weakening your home’s support structures and putting your safety at risk.
Thanks to the stack effect, your crawl space is responsible for up to 50 percent of the air circulating through your home. This means any mold spores, dirt, dust, or pest droppings make their way through your home and into the air you and your family breathe.
Crawl space encapsulation from Groundworks seals out these potentially toxic elements using a high-quality vapor barrier and addressing water with proper drainage and a sump pump. Schedule your free crawl space inspection to learn more about the innovative solutions offered by Groundwork Denver.
Our Simple Process
What Causes Crawl Space Repair Problems?
A crawl space is a place most homeowners never go. It’s damp, dirty, and all-around uncomfortable. Although this out of sight, out of mind mentality is understandable, when it comes to your crawl space, it simply can’t be ignored—especially in Denver.
Crawl space problems result from the area’s clay loam soil type and the weather. Although Denver receives only 15 to 20 inches of rain annually, well below the national average, add snowmelt totals, and the ground surrounding your home can become very wet.
This moisture is absorbed by the clay soil easily. If you have an untreated crawl space without a waterproofing measure, you are susceptible to water or moisture damage. Inside the crawl space, look for signs of mold and mildew, sagging insulation, and wood rot. Upstairs in the living spaces, you may feel spongey floors under your feet, see uneven floors or notice gaps between the floor and baseboards. These are all signs of a crawl space problem that should be repaired soon. Any damage in your crawl space will eventually extend to the rest of your home.
To avoid additional costs, schedule a free inspection with Groundworks. Their inspectors work with you to design a custom-fit solution to address your home’s unique needs. With more than 20 years of experience working in the Denver area, their knowledge of the soil and weather conditions makes them an expert on stopping crawl space damage permanently.
Common Causes of Crawl Space Problems
Our Patented Crawl Space Repair Solutions
Groundworks has extensive knowledge and training to spot crawl space problems and present a unique, tailored solution that meets your home’s specific needs. You’ll never worry about paying for unneeded products because our inspectors aren’t salesmen. They respect your time, your money, and your home. Learn more about some of the solutions they may suggest.
Crawl Space Drain
The number one reason for damage in a crawl space is water or moisture. An interior drain system installed around the edges of your crawl space helps avoid any standing water due to Denver’s clay loam soil. The drain effectively removes water by directing it to a sump pump, where it is pumped out and away from the home. Removing the water quickly and effectively keeps the crawl space’s moisture content low—discouraging harmful mildew and mold growth.
Vapor Barrier
Although your home may have an existing vapor barrier, it is most likely a builder’s grade 6-mil liner. This liner tears easily and can be more of a problem since it is not sealed. As an organic material, mold can quickly grow on it. Groundworks installs a high-quality, 20-mil thick vapor barrier that resists rips and tears. The liner seals to the walls and floor, locking out moisture, mold, and humidity, improving the air quality throughout the home.
A quality vapor barrier stops mold growth, helps rebuff pests, and generally makes your home a more comfortable and healthy environment.
Crawl Space Dehumidifier
Depending on the amount of moisture your home struggles with, you may or may not need a crawl space dehumidifier. When it comes to a dehumidifier, it’s best to do your research. Often the hardware store units aren’t strong enough to remove the moisture needed in a crawl space. Most big-box units will leave you with a high energy bill and nothing to show for it.
Groundworks’ crawl space dehumidifier is energy-efficient, self-draining, and can remove up to 100 pints of water per day and filter up to 280 cubic feet per minute. In a crawl space that is infrequently visited, reliability is key to maintaining a healthy crawl space. Trust the experts.

Had an old sump pump replaced with a modern system The experience was positive from start to finish. The initial inspector was exceedingly thorough, patient, fair, and able to give detailed yet easy to understand explanations. Luis and his installation team were highly experienced, conscientious, quick, and neat. Every single person I dealt with at Groundworks was good at their job, but on top of that, kind, communicative, and willing to go the extra mile. Highly recommended.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Shane Ishmael from Groundworks. I was thoroughly impressed with the service and the professional estimate provided for a small job at my home. Although the cost was outside of my budget, I was thoroughly impressed by Shane's kindness, expertise, and if I were to seek another job in the future, I would not hesitate to hire Groundworks for my next job. Thank you Shane for a pleasant experience!

On Friday, Jon and Seth came out to lift the driveway. These guys are awesome! Very professional and knowledgeable about their work. Explained to me what was going to happen and answered all my questions. This morning, Jayden, Caitlyn and Mandi came out to seal the cracks on the driveway. It was great seeing an all female team. They explained what they were going to be doing and answered all my questions. They are very professional and knowledgeable about their work. Thanks Groundworks! Mary Pool

We had our driveway and front porch steps stabilized. Alexander Fancher is great to work with. He explained everything thoroughly and was always on time and did what he said he was going to do. These days that is really appreciated. Alexander checked the whole driveway and not just the part that had sunk.

This team is fantastic! Mark first came to my home, assessed my needs and proposed a solution. During the preparation stage, Mark and other members of the team stayed in touch. On remediation day 1, Silvino contacted me regarding his arrival time. The excellent communication continued over the 2 days they were in my home. His team was polite, professional and extremely clean. They minimized the intrusion in my life, which isn't easy when you have jackhammers in your basement. Upon their exit, Silvino promised to send photos of the entire process. I highly recommend Groundworks!
