Crawl Space Clean & Seal

One of the most expensive purchases you will make in your lifetime is your home. Protect your investment and your health by starting from the ground up!

Most homes in the southeast are commonly built on a brick foundation with a crawl space. For decades, residential construction codes allow homes to be built with ventilated crawl spaces, as you see in the picture below.

These vents allow moisture and outside air to enter into the crawl space, creating common moisture problems for your home such as:

  • Mold or moisture damage to wood floor joists
  • Condensation or “sweating” of your air conditioning and heating system ductwork
  • Moisture and sweating formed on your floor insulation
  • Humidity problems in your living area
  • Musty smells and odors that develop in your crawl space seeping into your home
  • Rodent and insect problems

As a homeowner there are several steps you can take to improve your crawl space environment:

  • Close and seal all vents in the crawl space.
  • Create a sealed, insulated moisture barrier that wraps the walls and floors of your crawl space. This seals off all dirt and concrete block or brick from the interior.
  • Air seal all gaps and holes that are located in your flooring (plumbing pipes, drains, electrical lines, etc.)
  • Install a proper drainage system, such as a Sump Pump, to eliminate moisture.

Don’t just fix the symptoms of your crawl space; resolve the overall issues! Improving your crawl space can increase your home’s value and comfort. Leave your comfort to us!
