Crawl Space Repair

Mold Treatment

Mold and mildew thrive in the damp, humid conditions found in crawl spaces. The best way to prevent microbial growth is to encapsulate the crawl space with a vapor barrier and install a dehumidifier.

Sinkhole Repair

The goal of sinkhole repair is to stabilize the area and prevent the sinkhole from reappearing. That means finding and eliminating the cause of the sinkhole. If water caused the sinkhole – and it usually does – then we need to get the water under control.

Structural Repair

Moisture accumulation, pest infestation, and soil settling can compromise the stability of your home which can lead to damaged beams or joists and uneven floor support. USS is known for having the best structural repair contractors — Contact Us

When Should You Consider Crawl Space Encapsulation?

Before starting crawl space encapsulation, many homeowners first need crawl space waterproofing to address existing water intrusion problems. Encapsulation then helps create a sealed crawl space, and recognizing the warning signs of moisture issues is essential if you hope to protect your home’s structural integrity and indoor air quality.

Signs that crawl space encapsulation may be necessary include:

  • Increased crawl space humidity – Excess moisture in the air can lead to wood rot, pest infestations, and poor humidity control throughout your home.
  • High moisture levels in wood framing – When wood absorbs moisture, it weakens, putting your home’s foundation at risk and making it more vulnerable to damage.
  • Wet floor insulation – Damp insulation loses its effectiveness, leading to energy inefficiency and creating a breeding ground for mold.
  • Condensation issues in AC ductwork – Moisture buildup in ductwork can lead to water damage, decreased system efficiency, and higher indoor humidity levels.
  • Mold and mildew growth on wood framing – This indicates an ongoing moisture problem that may require mold remediation and long-term mold prevention measures.
  • A musty odor in the home – A persistent damp smell often signals moisture problems in the crawl space, which can contaminate indoor air with harmful allergens and toxins.

By implementing crawl space encapsulation solutions, you can maintain a healthier and more stable home environment.

Our Crawl Space Encapsulation Process

When you partner with USS, you will benefit from the expertise of technicians who know how to do the job right the first time. We’ll start by inspecting the areas under your home to determine an effective crawl space encapsulation plan that will address your specific issues for the long term.

Our crawl space encapsulation services may include:

  • The installation of a waterproof lining that covers the ground and all crawl space surfaces. This heavy-duty “vapor barrier” is sealed to walls and floors with encapsulation tape and foam.
  • The sealing of any cracks or vents with long-lasting spray foam.
  • The installation of an airtight crawl space door to help prevent moisture intrusion.
  • The installation of a crawl space dehumidifier that will remove moisture from the air.

Each crawl space encapsulation project we undertake requires a customized solution to address the problems that are affecting the home. For example, microbial growth treatment may be recommended before encapsulation if mold and mildew is visible in the area.

Important Benefits of USS Services

At United Structural Systems, we’re so confident in the quality of our work that we back our crawl space encapsulations with a lifetime warranty that can be transferred to future homeowners. Some of the benefits you can expect following your crawl space encapsulation include:

  • A reduced chance of microbial growth thanks to lower humidity levels
  • Better indoor air quality, as musty odors will be eliminated
  • The potential for lower energy bills, as moisture and humidity control can reduce the workload for your home’s HVAC system
  • Improved structural integrity, as the wood framing beneath the home is protected from rot and damaging pests
