What Causes Excess Crawl Space Moisture?

If you’re wondering how excess water and moisture can get into the crawl space, there are a few different ways. These include:

Outside air

Open vents can allow for humid air to get in through vents. Humid air can lead to moisture problems inside the home.

Groundwater

If groundwater gets in through the crawlspace under the footing, it can get between the footing and the walls, through cracks in the walls. Once the water seeps in, puddles can form and evaporate into the crawl space.

Exposed Dirt

Exposed dirt can get into the crawlspace and dry. When this happens, water vapor moves upward through the crawlspace.

Plumbing Leaks

Water from any leaky pipes can get into the dirt of a crawlspace. As the soil dries, the water vapor moves upward through the crawlspace.

When one or a combination of these things happen, you’ll likely notice humidity in the crawlspace and excess moisture. This is when moisture control services are needed to remedy the situation.

Signs of Excess Moisture in the Home

There are many signs in your crawl space and throughout your home that can indicate signs of moisture in the home and that you may need moisture remediation to get it under control. Some are more obvious than others. These include:

Mild growth
Musty odors
Damp, smelly carpets
Buckling hardwood floors
Deteriorating Roof and Shingles
Increased heating and cooling bills
Rotted wood
Sagging insulation
Dirty ductwork
Pest and rodent infestations

If you notice any of these issues, you’ll want to have one of our inspectors come to your home to examine your issues. They can determine whether excess moisture is to blame and what types of moisture control services would best alleviate your problems.

What is Moisture Remediation?

Moisture remediation helps to control the environment in your crawl space. You can do this with a sealed crawl space. If you ignore the problem, it can lead to dangerous air quality.

These are the some of the moisture control solutions we offer:

Crawl Space Drainage

When there is standing water, you need to drain it out. If you don’t, you can have moisture and dangerous mold problems. Our team can decide which type of drainage is best.

Sometimes a French drain gets the job done best. This technique uses a trench pipe or sump pump to direct surface or groundwater away from the foundation. French drains collect and divert water at the ground level. They are installed inside your crawl space so that they are not visible from the outside of your home.

A sump pump can also be used sometimes with a French drain. It pumps water flow out and away from your home’s foundation. It can also prevent groundwater from building up under the foundation.

Encapsulation Systems

Encapsulation systems help to maintain healthy humidity while ventilating your crawl space. Humidity in crawl space can lead to moisture that can lead to condensation on ductwork.

FAQ About Moisture Control Services

How much do moisture remediation services cost?

This will depend on the extent of your problem and the services you have. You’ll find that Crawl Space & Basement Technologies is affordable when it comes to these types of services.

What happens during a moisture inspection?

During a moisture inspection, we will survey your property and your crawlspace to determine where the excess moisture may be seeping in. This can help us determine the best course of action.

What will happen if I don’t get the moisture in my crawl space under control?

If you ignore the problem, hoping that it will go away on its own, it won’t. The problem will only get worse and can lead to wood decay, and fungi which can lead to your floor joist to rot, and other issues.

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.

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"
