Our Simple Process
Common Crawl Space Problems in Wichita Homes
Wichita’s climate, characterized by its humid summers, cold winters, and clay soil, poses specific challenges for homeowners with untreated crawl spaces.
An ignored crawl space can significantly impact your home’s structural integrity and indoor environment. Issues like mold, wood rot, or pest infestations in the crawl space can lead to noticeable problems throughout your home.
Groundworks Wichita Crawl Space Quality Solutions
Addressing crawl space issues in Wichita, where environmental factors can exacerbate problems, is crucial. Groundworks Wichita combines local expertise with national support to provide effective, long-lasting crawl space repair solutions.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Our exclusive encapsulation process at Groundworks Wichita involves sealing the crawl space from external air and moisture and integrating it into your home’s overall structure. This process typically includes installing a high-grade vapor barrier, wall insulation, and a drainage system.
If you’re considering encapsulation for your Wichita home, acting swiftly can prevent further issues and save costs in the long run.
Sump Pump & Drainage
Flooding is a common issue in Wichita crawl spaces, especially with the area’s significant rainfall and snowmelt. To address this, we focus on interior drainage and sump pump installation.
While not every crawl space requires a sump pump, our inspectors will help determine if it’s necessary for your home. The CrawlDrain™ system is another excellent option for Wichita residents, designed to collect water from leaks and direct it to the sump pump for removal.
CrawlSeal™ Vapor Barrier
Our 20-mil CrawlSeal™ vapor barrier is designed to keep moisture out of your crawl space. Applied to both the floor and walls, this thick liner prevents rips and tears. We also seal crawl space vents and doors, as these gaps can lead to significant issues below your home.
Crawl Space Wall Insulation
Whether it’s a humid summer or a freezing winter, proper crawl space insulation is vital. Groundworks installs ExtremeBloc™, a rigid foam board insulation with a high R-value and compliance with Class A fire code, ensuring your crawl space contributes to an energy-efficient and comfortable home.
Uneven Crawl Space Floors
Issues like mold and wood rot can lead to uneven floors and structural problems. Groundworks Wichita addresses this with the SettleStop IntelliJack™ system, designed to support and potentially straighten sagging floors by stabilizing foundation beams.
Energy-Efficient Dehumidifiers
While encapsulation is crucial, a dehumidifier plays an essential role in maintaining a dry crawl space. Our advanced dehumidifiers are designed for crawl spaces, removing more moisture than standard units and helping to keep your home comfortable, especially considering Wichita’s high summer humidity levels.
