Methods of Fixing Crawl Space Problems

Crawl space professionals would offer a variety of solutions that can help ensure your crawl space stays in tip-top shape. Here’s a look at potential options available through your local crawl space repair experts:

Encapsulation

Crawl space encapsulation is a great way to reduce issues with your crawl space. This process ensures that your crawl space doesn’t deal with moisture from outside the crawl space itself. Typically, that includes installing a crawl space vapor barrier, closing crawl space vents, and installing a dehumidifier.

Crew installing crawlspace insulation tape.

Sump Pump

A sump pump is an important tool in your crawl space because it lets you pump out water that got in your crawl space somehow. Whether it’s because of a generalized flood, a plumbing leak in your home, or a waterproofing failure, a sump pump in your crawl space will at least make sure you don’t have standing water for longer than necessary.

Insulation

Insulating your crawl space is an important element of making sure it’s healthy. If you don’t have any insulation in your crawl space, it’s a good idea to add it. If your insulation is wet or torn up, you’ll want to remove it and add new insulation. Regardless of your method, insulation is definitely important.

Installing thermal insulation

Dehumidifier

A dehumidifier should never be your only step, but it is an important step in the process of making your crawl space healthier. Once you’ve gotten rid of all the most common entrances for humidity, a dehumidifier can help ensure your crawl space remains at a specific humidity level. It also cleans and filters the air to improve overall air quality throughout the crawl space and home as a whole.

Dehumidifier in crawl space

If you’re thinking about making your crawl space healthier, these may be a few of the things that you need. An expert can help you do all of them more effectively.

We get it right the first time, every time, and our solutions are built to last.

FAQs About Crawl Space Repair

The best thing you can do is learn more about crawl space problems and keep an eye out for them. If you notice anything that hints at the possibility of a serious crawl space problem, you can call an expert to help you find out more about that problem. Not all these crawl space problems are extremely noticeable, but most of them have at least a few warning signs.

Not every crawl space problem requires immediate action, but all crawl space problems are important to handle as soon as possible. If you notice any of these concerns, like sagging floors or foundation cracks, you may want to get in touch with a crawl space expert to investigate it further.

Depending on the extent of the damage, a professional may recommend multiple repair solutions, but they will likely involve some combination of floor joist supports, vapor barriers, and/or dehumidifiers.

Don’t try to fix your crawl space by yourself. Crawl spaces are delicate areas, and DIYing may do more harm than help. Talk to an expert first. Experienced crawl space professionals have all the tools and expertise necessary to fix your crawl space the right way.

Crawl Space Repair Is Easier Than You’d Think with an Expert

One of the reasons many people worry about crawl space repair is because they’re concerned it’ll be difficult. Obviously, this is an understandable fear, but when you have the help of an expert, it’s really not that scary. Your local crawl space repair experts have a team of experienced professionals who are well-versed in identifying crawl space problems and recommending the best solution to meet your specific repair needs. Don’t hesitate to reach out to them for assistance so you can ensure the health and safety of your crawl space, your home, and your family.

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.

We own an ice cream, popcorn and coffee shop in downtown Fairhope in a historic house built in 1910. We had to make an important decision to temporarily close our business and improve our building's structure, which had many significant issues. After meeting with Keenan, we made a decision to use AFS because he was so professional, thorough and knowledgeable in his assessment of our issues and what needed to be done to fix them. Chance Smith was the foreman on our job; he and his colleagues worked diligently and professionally to complete our complex project plan which included new support piers underneath and moisture control encapsulation of the crawl space. They were a joy to deal with and delivered beyond our expectations. 100% recommend them and would use them again!

Pre-Visit Confirmation ***** – Email, text and phone calls to confirm the time and prep me for the visit. Incredible. Nobody is doing this right these days and BAU absolutely has it nailed down. 3. Estimator ***** – I wish I could offer more than 5 stars. Joe Le Bel is the most professional tradesman I've met in a long time. Others are good too, but Joe is the gold standard. He sat with me to ask what I was concerned about and what was important to my family. Who does that???? Oh yeah, Joe did. So comforting. Joe was professional and respectful of our space. Was careful to be conscientious about where he placed his gear, tools and instruments. Super clean going under the house without tracking dirt and debris back into the house. (The inspectors from HomeGuard could definitely take notes on this!) Then, once Joe finished, he sat down with us and talked us through all the different aspects off his inspection. What an extremely positive interaction. I would 100% recommend BAU and Joe. Can't get any better than this. Thanks BAU for a great culture of excellence. Thanks Joe for being such a good human and professional!

Daniel and his crew did a great job with the scope of work and also with communication throughout the process. Alan who sold me the job also did a great job in explaining everything thoroughly and working with me for the scope of work that I could most directly benefit from. Happy with this crew and would do business again in the future.

I left a review initially when Groundworks came out because they did a decent job and cleaned up and all that. Unfortunately, my Hardscape guy wasn’t thrilled with the work that they did (he needs to replace pavers around the driveway and didn’t like the pitch of the surface), so I called and Groundworks came out again today and spent over six hours making it right! I absolutely appreciate the good business practices of this company and making things right. It looks good to me and hopefully my Hardscape guy is happy with the result and can work around it.

Kendall is absolutely amazing. He is a huge asset to my real estate business and investment business. He takes the time to explain the cause of the problem and then the solution as apposed to just putting a bandaid on it and thoroughly walks through the scope of work. Highly recommend foundation recovery systems for all of your foundation needs!

Absolutely incredible professionalism when giving estimates. Don Sparks, one of their field inspectors gave us an estimate on fixing our patio and concrete around the house, helping us understand all the problems and what to do about it.

Gardner came to do an inspection of my basement and provide a quote. I had received other quotes that only provided for a single sump pump install at outrageous prices. He was very thorough, took two hours to measure, inspect, provided videos and explanations on everything, and the quote was shockingly affordable with so much more work I was ecstatic! I am getting a three sump pump with back up battery, and so much more for basically what the others quoted. And, to have the option to finance through Greensky was the cherry on top! If you are in King County, ask for Gardner @ GROUNDWORKS – you won’t regret it!

Chris Trevor’s conducted the most comprehensive inspection of my home during my yearly service. He asked me specific questions and walked around my home as I explained my concerns. Not only did he notice issues that I hadn’t picked up on , but he thoroughly explained why I was experiencing them.

We had our crawl space encapsulated and a sump pump and dehumidifier installed in our 1985 home. Ben and his team did an excellent job and were professional and courteous throughout the installation. The reason for the four-star review is related to communication and scheduling. We first contacted Alpha Foundations on September 26. Our inspector, David, was friendly and knowledgeable, and we agreed on the scope of work and paid our deposit. The job was originally scheduled for November 17, however no one arrived that day and we did not receive a call. After reaching out, we were informed that the permit had been delayed due to county approval issues. Based on county records, it appeared the permit had not been submitted in a timely manner. The job was ultimately rescheduled and completed on December 29 without issue. The company did attempt to move the installation up sooner, but we were unable to accommodate due to holidays and vacation plans. Overall, I am very happy with the quality of the work and the installation team. My only disappointment was the lack of communication and follow-through leading up to the install date.

Groundworks Field Inspector Mike Gold was excellent in communicating with us the results of his work/measurements on our property. He explained that we now have a baseline for comparison in future years re: our house's foundation settling. He also informed us about the effect of moisture content of soil below the foundation and how to mitigate the potential problem. He is indeed knowledgeable in his area of expertise and has excellent communication skills!

Highly recommend! Our technician, John Fulton, was incredible! I highly recommend requesting him, if you get the option. He was very kind and professional. He conducted a thorough inspection and made sure to explain everything. My children and grandchildren were here and were interested to learn, too. He was more than willing to answer their questions, and he made it like a field trip to the basement! Very educational and fun! Can't thank him enough for being so kind and informative!
