Moisture & Humidity Control
Crawl space or basement moisture must be handled to prevent wood damage and mold issues. We help homeowners from Williamsburg to Virginia Beach with crawl space and basement moisture and water issues.
Crawl Space & Basement Cleaning
If you have a damp and musty basement or crawl space, you most likely have microbial growth on the wood and other surfaces. Cleaning is the first step to resetting that space.
We use a highly concentrated peroxide solution called YCS Pro Cleaner, that attacks microbial growth and removes it from your crawl space surfaces.
This process is safe; there is no need to leave the home, and there is no danger to pets. You home will smell oxygenated and refreshed.
Drainage + Standing Water
If you have standing water in your crawl space or basement, or the ground under your home stays damp and saturated, a perimeter drainage system and sump pump is the best solution. We offer full crawl space and basement drainage systems, with options for different needs and budgets.
Crawl Space Vapor Barriers
A major part of moisture control is installing a ground coverage vapor barrier. This can be in the form of a pinned vapor barrier, or a fully sealed encapsulation.
Every home is different, so we can evaluate the construction of your crawl space or basement, as well as the moisture issues present, and recommend a solution that is best for you and your budget.
Crawl Space Vent And Air Sealing
It is impossible to control crawl space moisture if hot humid air is allowed to enter the crawl space.
Sealing your crawl space vents, doors, cracks, gaps, and access holes is a critical component when it comes to crawl space moisture control and mold prevention.
In order to prevent future moisture issues and microbial growth, and damage, a space must be kept dry.
Crawl Space Dehumidifiers
The dehumidifier is one of the most critical components to keeping your crawl space or basement dry. By removing moisture from the air, we can help prevent crawl space condensation, which leads to wood damage, as well as mold and fungus growth.
We use Aprilaire or Santa Fe dehumidifiers exclusively. These are widely regarded as the top crawl space dehumidifier manufacturers in terms of quality and customer service. They are in a class by themselves in the crawl space industry.
