About Our Company
Patriot Crawl Space Repairs is a locally owned, family-operated crawl space and structural repair contractor serving Hampton Roads and Coastal Virginia. We specialize in crawl space moisture repair, structural wood repair, mold remediation, and drainage systems designed to protect homes long-term.
The company is led by Robbie McCarty, a licensed and insured Class A Residential Building Contractor with over 25 years of hands-on experience. Robbie personally performs all crawl space inspections, estimates, and repair planning to ensure each project is diagnosed correctly and repaired the right way.
Operations and communication are managed by April McCarty, who brings over 20 years of experience in legal, banking, and accounting environments. She makes sure projects are organized, you are kept up to date the entire way, and you are satisfied with the final results.
Qualified In-House Technicians
Structural and crawl space repairs require experienced, reliable workmanship. For that reason, all work is completed by our in-house full-time, W-2 technicians—not subcontractors or temporary labor.
Our technicians are background-checked and bring years of hands-on experience working on crawl spaces, structural repairs, and residential building systems. We only hire experienced top level technicians. Keeping work in-house allows us to maintain consistent quality, accountability, and efficiency on every project.
No Commissioned Sales Inspectors
All inspections are done by the owner-contractor, Robbie McCarty. We do not use high-pressure scripts, sign today "discounts", or scare tactics.
Our approach is straightforward: we evaluate the condition of the crawl space, explain what we find, and recommend repairs only when they are necessary. Robbie will tell you what you need and what you don't need.
This allows our inspections to stay focused on accuracy, transparency, and long-term solutions rather than sales quotas.
What Our Name Represents
Patriot Crawl Space Repairs stands for doing the work the right way and telling the truth about what we find. This is an owner-led company, and every inspection and recommendation carries our name and reputation.
We run this business the way our dads and granddads did—show up, work hard, and take pride in your work. We treat every home like it’s our grandmother’s home, and we don’t recommend work that isn’t needed.
Our goal is simple: give you a clear answer, fix the problem correctly, and leave you confident it was handled the right way.
What Makes Us Different?
Owner Led Crawl Space Inspections
Every inspection is performed by owner Robbie McCarty, a licensed Class A Residential Building Contractor with more than 25 years of crawl space repair experience throughout Hampton Roads and coastal Virginia. Robbie is also a MICRO Certified Mold Remediation Contractor, licensed Pest Control Contractor, and crawl space building science expert who has evaluated and repaired thousands of crawl spaces involving moisture intrusion, mold growth, drainage failures, structural deterioration, groundwater problems, and long-term crawl space performance issues beneath local homes.
Our inspections are focused on diagnosing the actual environmental, structural, and moisture conditions affecting the home—not selling a one-size-fits-all system. By combining local crawl space experience, moisture science expertise, structural repair knowledge, mold remediation protocols, and long-term building performance principles, we help homeowners understand what is actually happening beneath the home and what it takes to correct it properly.
Crawl Space Structural Repair Specialists
We specialize in engineer-supported crawl space structural repairs involving floor joists, girder beams, subfloors, and long-term framing deterioration beneath Hampton Roads homes. Our company evaluates structural movement, moisture-related wood damage, load distribution, framing performance, and long-term structural stability to design practical repair solutions for the home.
When structural framing is weakened by moisture, wood rot, settlement, or long-term deflection, we focus on correcting the actual structural conditions affecting the floor system—not simply lifting the floor temporarily. Our repairs may include joist sistering, beam reinforcement or replacement, subfloor repairs, and restoring proper structural support beneath the home using real-world framing experience and structural engineering principles.
As licensed Class A contractors with years of structural framing and crawl space repair experience, we perform true structural wood repairs designed around long-term building performance, crawl space durability, and the environmental conditions affecting coastal Virginia homes. Major structural repairs are reviewed by structural engineers when appropriate.
Certified Crawl Space Mold Remediation Experts
Crawl space mold is usually a symptom of elevated humidity, condensation, groundwater intrusion, or long-term moisture exposure beneath the home—not the root problem itself. Simply spraying or treating visible mold without correcting the underlying moisture conditions often allows fungal growth to return over time.
Our company provides certified crawl space mold remediation focused on both contamination removal and long-term moisture correction. As a MICRO Certified Mold Remediation Contractor, we follow proper mold remediation protocols while evaluating the humidity, airflow, drainage, and moisture conditions allowing mold growth to develop on framing, insulation, and crawl space surfaces.
Because crawl space mold is closely connected to moisture movement and crawl space performance, we approach mold remediation as part of the overall environmental conditions affecting the home rather than simply performing a temporary surface cleanup.
Customized Crawl Space Moisture Solutions
Crawl space moisture problems are typically caused by a combination of groundwater intrusion, elevated humidity, condensation, poor drainage, air movement, and long-term environmental exposure beneath the home. Because crawl spaces throughout Hampton Roads and coastal Virginia experience different moisture conditions, no single system solves every crawl space problem properly.
Our company specializes in diagnosing the actual moisture conditions affecting the home before designing a repair plan. Depending on the crawl space, solutions may include drainage improvements, groundwater management, vapor barriers, humidity control, vent sealing, dehumidification, or hybrid moisture management systems designed around long-term crawl space performance.
Our approach is based on crawl space moisture science, building performance principles, and more than 25 years of experience evaluating how crawl spaces behave in coastal Virginia—not one-size-fits-all encapsulation recommendations. The goal is practical long-term moisture control that protects the structural integrity and performance of the home over time.
