When you hire our team of vapor barrier installation experts, here's our process:
We start by covering all vents and sealing your crawl space door airtight.
Next, we eliminate any sources of standing water by installing a crawl space drain and sump pump system — removing the risk of future flooding.
Finally, we install a durable, heavy-duty liner, transforming your crawl space into a clean, functional storage space.
Benefits of our Vapor Barrier system:
Warrantied products
Increased usable storage space
Lower utility bills
Our process for a fully encapsulated crawl space:
Seal it airtight — We seal your crawl space doors and cover the vents to prevent cold air, humidity, and moisture from entering.
Eliminate standing water — We install a crawl space drain and sump pump system to remove any existing sources of water.
Install the liner — Once the area is sealed and dry, we lay down a durable liner. At this point, insulation can be safely installed if needed and agreed upon with the homeowner.
Insulate and encapsulate — We insulate and fully encapsulate the crawl space, stopping moisture from entering through your floors and concrete walls.
Install ventilation and dehumidification — We finish with a crawl space vent and an energy-efficient, self-draining dehumidifier equipped with filters to catch small particles, keeping your crawl space permanently dry.
Result: No more mold, mildew, or moisture damage in your crawl space.
Mold grows in nearly every organic substance as long as there's enough moisture and oxygen present — which makes crawl spaces one of its favorite environments. Our mold remediation services are tailored for homeowners already experiencing mold problems.
Mold isn't just unsightly — it's a genuine concern for your home and health:
Health hazard — mold exposure can affect indoor air quality and your family's well-being
Structural damage — mold weakens the integrity of your property, including your foundation
Foul odor — persistent mold and mildew smell that lingers throughout the home
Interior and Exterior French Drain
We begin by excavating a trench along the affected area. From there, the process depends on the type of drain:
Exterior French Drain:
The trench is lined side to side with geo-textile fabric.
Gravel and a perforated drainage pipe are installed within the fabric, which is then folded over at the top to fully wrap the pipe and gravel.
The trench is finished off with a layer of gravel and topsoil.
Interior French Drain:
We may use NDS EZ-Drain pipe for interior applications.
9" x 9" catch basin drain boxes can be added to capture surface water.
Downspouts can also be connected to the French drain system upon request.
For many waterproofing installers, the size of your basement can make installation a lengthy process — it's not uncommon for basements to take up as much as half your home's total square footage.
If you're planning to sell your home at any point in the future, keep in mind that a damp basement can get in the way of a successful sale.
Sump pumps are an essential component in keeping basements, crawl spaces, and any below-grade areas dry.
Our process:
We excavate a sump pump pit, where the base and sump pump are installed.
A perimeter French drain can be added to supplement your sump pump system.
Once the sump pump is installed, we restore the floor to a clean, attractive finish, clear out debris, and thoroughly clean the area.
Without proper insulation in your crawl space, heated or cooled air can escape through your floors. As a home ages, insulation replacement often becomes necessary.
Signs you may need crawl space insulation replacement:
Higher energy bills
Fluctuating indoor temperatures
Foul odor from mold and mildew
Evidence of animal infestation
Our professionals can take a look at your crawl space and make a personalized recommendation.
Crawl space dehumidifiers are appliances that provide several key benefits:
Dry the air — maintaining a healthy, stable humidity level under your home
Filter and circulate the air — essential for maintaining healthy air quality inside your home
Capture airborne particles — filtering out mold spores, fiberglass particles, and dust mites
