Crawl Space Waterproofing

If your Durham home has water intrusion, then you are running the risk of moisture problems that could affect your home and health. Moisture in your homes crawl space or basement can lead to damage to the foundation leading to mold and mildew, and even pest problems such as termites working their way into rotten wood. Crawl Space & Basement Technologies of Durham are the professionals that can help prevent or repair these problems.

Signs of crawl space moisture problems in your Durham home:

Damage in the crawl space or living area, caused by moisture and mold
Foul, musty odors in the living area
Condensation on HVAC duct work and/or equipment
Condensation on insulation, pipes or trusses in the crawl space
Buckling of hardwood flooring
Living areas have high levels of humidity
Infestation by insects and other pests
Excessive wood rot

How Does Water Enter My Crawl Space?

Excessive rain soaks into the soil, causing pressure changes. Once the ground is saturated, the water moves to the lowest level of grade.
Concrete is naturally porous. This leads to rainwater being able to soak through the foundation walls, eventually leading to condensation in the crawl space.
North Carolina’s climate is hot and humid. Foundation vents on Durham homes can lead to moisture intrusion as well. Hot, humid air can pass into the crawl space and condensation build up can occur on HVAC duct work, floor joists and insulation.

How Do I Prevent Water From Getting Back In?

To permanently resolve your home’s moisture issues, you first must stop the source of the problem. If a home is build on a flat or negatively graded lot, then water intrusion is an eventual certainty. This stems from ground saturation. Water will migrate under the French Drain and footing to the interior of the crawl space. French Drains are not a solution to moisture problems.

Then, what is a viable solution? Contact Crawl Space and Basement Technologies to install an Interior Drainage System to collect and remove water entering your crawl space.

How do we waterproof your crawl space?

A drainage trench is dug on the interior of the crawl space, usually around the perimeter.
Weep holes are drilled through the interior side of the base block.
Specialized drainage pipe is installed in the trench.
The pipe and trench is covered and filled with 3/4 inch gravel.
We always prefer to use a gravity discharge to drain the water out of the crawl space, but sometimes a sump pump system is required.

Our crawl space waterproofing has a lifetime warranty that can be transferred to a new owner at no cost! You can trust that your home is protected from moisture damage permanently.

Customer Reviews

Excellent Experience From Start To Finish

Excellent experience from start to finish. The owner came out to quote the work and to do an assessment. He took his time to explain everything in detail to me of the benefits of the different levels of encapsulation. He made his recommendation based off of my home and not just the highest price service. Upfront, honest, and great follow through. Cannot ask for much more. Also price was comparable to other quotes but the quality of work was FAR BETTER when I looked at photos of other folks and they have a custom process that no one else uses to also vent under the plastic!

My Builder Was So Impressed

I was having some moisture issues in my basement. I had three companies come out before Jason. They all wanted to do the same thing which was dig up all the yard around my house and re-apply a new membrane. I would have sold my house and moved away before I paid what they were asking.
Anyhow, Jason came in and gave a thorough explanation of what his plan was, why the older methods only work short term, and how he completely guarantees all of his work. It wasn't cheap but it was small potatoes compared to what the other folks wanted to do.
Additionally, my builder was so impressed with what Jason and his team had done they wanted a bunch of business cards for other clients.

Very Professional & Responsive

Very professional and responsive. They coordinated everything, including city permit inspection and electrician. They cleaned up everything and were great at explaining what needed to be done and then what was done. Great to see there's still some excellent, reputable local businesses out there who provide exceptional service.

Pleased With The Results

We utilized Crawl space and basement tech to encapsulate our new home before any damage could be done. They were not only competitively priced, but very knowledgeable and professional. We used the other guys in our last home and we now know what is truly expected and are pleased with the results.

Thank You

We have had dampness in our crawl space for years. We had done the typical thing by applying plastic initially on our own & had some help from another company, but it never seemed right. Our neighbor had used Crawlspace & Basement Technologies & was so pleased with the results.
Jason Mullins, the owner, came to our home, assessed our space & gave his recommendations. He was very personable but informative & thorough with his explanations. We felt confident choosing him & did not seek a second opinion.
Everyone involved with getting the job done, from the office to the guys doing the work were great.
My husband & I thank you!

Becky M.

So Impressed!

Jason drew me pictures, showed me diagrams and provided a thorough explanation and education about what needed to be done and how he would recommend doing it.

I was so impressed with him and the company's services that I hired him on the spot and canceled my other appointment. They began work almost immediately, and everyone with whom I came into contact was efficient and friendly and clearly wanted me to be happy with the results.

It's a great feeling to do business with a company that takes such pride in its work and believes in giving value to customers.

One of the Best

"Your company was one of the only ones in the Triangle who was able to tell me how the job would be done that would meet NC Building codes and what the current industry methods/materials are. I did a lot of research..I know what I am talking about and would recommend Jason’s company to anyone needing encapsulation"

Keeps Things Clean

"Your company is very professional. Most companies do not clean up after themselves, so the homeowner has to do it! Your guys left the area very clean. Don’t let your sales rep go. He is very knowledgeable! Great Job! We have given your information to our neighbors, so I am sure we will be seeing you next door very soon"
