At PestFree™, it’s our job to make sure that your musty crawl space is transformed into a clean, dry, and energy-efficient space.
Most homeowners aren’t happy with their crawl space environment.
Many crawl spaces flood, and they’re often filled with debris. In more extreme cases, there can be rotting structures with rodents, animals, and other pests living within.
Symptoms of a Crawl Space Problem
- Drywall Cracks in the Interior
- Uneven Floors
- Foul Odors in the Home
- Heightened Allergies or Asthma Symptoms
If you’re having a problem with your crawl space, you’ve come to the right place. At PestFree™, we specialize in crawl space problems of all types. Whatever your issue, we have the products and experience that you need to find the best solution.
Crawl space repair will help you avoid unnecessary repairs, create a healthier living space, and save money on your utility bills. And once you’ve encapsulated your crawl space with a vapor barrier, you’ve gained valuable storage space in your home.
- Install Airtight Doors & Vent Covers: Sealing your crawl space doors and vents stops the cycle of cold, humidity, and moisture entering from the outside air. However, water can still enter your crawlspace in many ways.
- Remove Any Standing Water Sources: The next step is to eliminate any sources of flooding in your crawl space by installing a crawl space drain and sump pump system. This eliminates flooding water from your crawl space, but moisture can still enter directly through the concrete and floor in the form of water vapor.
- Repair The Structure: If your crawl space is sagging or damaged by prolonged mold and rot, the next step is to install crawl space support jacks to help restore your structure. This will help your floors stay even and stop any structural sagging upstairs.
- Encapsulate & Insulate The Crawl Space: To stop moisture from passing through your floors and porous concrete walls, a crawl space liner should be installed. A durable liner will allow for servicemen to use the space without damage, and it’ll transform your crawl space into usable storage space. This is also the best time to install crawl space insulation on your walls or floors.
- Install A Dehumidifier: Installing an energy efficient, self-draining crawl space dehumidifier will keep your space dry. Our crawl space dehumidifier system includes a filter that removes particles from the air as small as 2 microns. This ensures that your crawl space is protected from mold, dust mites, and mildew damage — permanently!
