We are certified contractors using the most advanced products and systems in the industry to provide crawlspace repair and encapsulation methods that truly work. Whether you’re home is experiencing must, odor, or structural issues, and don’t have a basement, you are experiencing the common problems in Pennsylvania: poor protection underneath your home. Our mission is to make sure our customers have the proper systems in place to safeguard against deterioration from the inside out. As crawlspaces remain one of the most vulnerable and overlooked areas in homes it’s still the most important. We remain dedicated to improving the quality of single story houses without basements by giving permanent solutions that last a lifetime. If you have a basement and not a crawlspace, head over to our basement waterproofing page for more information.
In Pennsylvania, crawl space problems are more common due to our higher humidity index. Pennsylvania is located where humidity is high which makes symptoms like woodrot and mold a threatening issue. This is not only a major concern for your family but your home’s structural integrity as well. We also have average rain falls and snow thawing seasons that generate a lot of water. If left unprotected your crawl space can deteriorate over time.
Common and Most Serious Problems Homeowners Should Look For
Wet Crawlspaces
Crawlspaces that have become consistently wet or flooded are a result of poor water mitigation and/or encapsulation. Without a drain to direct water away from this area, or a barrier to keep soggy soil or damp air contained, crawlspaces become rotted and cause other problems.
Sagging Floors
With sagging floors it’s an indication that the support beams within the crawlspace have deteriorated. In most cases this will be either wooden or concrete joists that have become rotted or broken from mold, mildew, water, and humidity. This is an after-effect of poorly sealed crawlspace without protection.
Humidity and Odor
Any type of odor coming from your crawlspace means there’s bacteria and mold growth underneath your home. It’s caused by damp environments and humidity with poor ventilation. No barrier protection also leaves this area vulnerable to water penetration, which can result in mold growth.
Systems We Use To Fix Crawl Spaces
Each system we use provides a unique repair for your specific crawl space problem. Depending on the severity of each issue or core problems that must be addressed, we may recommend additional products after the inspection.
