Crawl Space

Warning Signs

Crawl space moisture problems often show signs inside the home first. A musty odor, high indoor humidity, condensation on windows, or damp smells near floors can indicate moisture building up beneath the house.


Other signs include mold growth, wet or fallen insulation, standing water, or condensation on pipes and ductwork. Over time, moisture can also lead to wood rot or soft, uneven floors if the crawl space is not properly controlled.

Crawl Space Dehumidifiers

A dehumidifier can keep your crawl space dry by removing moisture from the air to prevent condensation.


We use Aprilaire dehumidifiers exclusively.  They are widely regarded as the top crawl space dehumidifier manufacturer in terms of quality and customer service.  They are in a class by themselves in the crawl space industry.

Vapor Barriers

A major part of moisture control is installing a ground coverage vapor barrier.  This can be in the form of a pinned vapor barrier, or a fully sealed encapsulation.


Every home is different, so we can evaluate the construction of your crawl space, as well as the moisture issues present, and recommend a solution that is best for you and your budget.

Crawl Space Clean-Outs

If you have crawl space insulation that is decades old, is moldy, infested with rodents, or is wet and stringy, we can remove and dispose of it prior to installing new insulation or completing repairs.


Removing contaminated materials is the first step to a cleaner crawl space and healthier home.

Mold Cleaning

If you have a damp and musty crawl space, you most likely have mold and fungus growth on the wood and other surfaces.  Cleaning is the first step to resetting that space.


We use a highly concentrated peroxide solution called YCS Pro Cleaner, that attacks microbial growth and removes it from your crawl space surfaces.  We follow this up by wiping the surfaces down with an industrial botanical disinfectant, leaving your wood looking new and crawl space smelling fresh.

Crawl Space Encapsulation

A major part of mold and moisture control is properly sealing the crawl space.  We do this by installing a durable vapor barrier, and sealing crawl space vents and openings.


Every home is different, so we can evaluate the construction of your crawl space, as well as the moisture issues present, and recommend a solution that is best for you and your budget.

Drainage + Standing Water

If you have standing water in your crawl space, or the ground under your home stays damp and saturated, a perimeter drainage system and sump pump is the best solution.  We offer full crawl space drainage systems, with options for different needs and budgets.

Duct-Work Repair And Replacement

Your home's duct-work transports the air you breathe.  If you have moldy, rodent infested, or damaged duct-work, it can affect your home comfort, indoor air quality, and even cause mold, fungus, and wood damage in your crawl space. 


We can repair, and replace old and damaged duct-work in your crawl space as part of your crawl space repair job.
