CRAWL SPACE WATERPROOFING
Living in a humid area like North or South Carolina can require extra work to prevent humidity and mold issues in your crawl space or home. Mold festers in damp, dark places, and your crawl space is the perfect breeding ground if it isn’t receiving the proper maintenance.
Many homes in the Carolinas are built on a crawl space to support the foundation and provide easy access to important parts of your home, like plumbing and electrical systems. While these crawl spaces make work more convenient for your HVAC company, they can also lead to problems without proper maintenance.
WHY CRAWL SPACE WATERPROOFING IS IMPORTANT
If your crawl space has standing water or excess moisture, crawl space waterproofing is a must to protect your space. Wet crawl spaces can lead to costly problems such as:
- Fungus and mold issues
- Musty odors
- Rust and rot
- Infestations
- Structural problems
- Indoor air quality problems
Waterproofing your crawl space can prevent these issues and ensure your home or trade is safe and sturdy. Even if your crawl space has already sustained water damage or moisture issues, it’s not too late to remediate the problem and take preventative measures to keep issues from returning.
THE BENEFITS OF CRAWL SPACE WATERPROOFING
Our crawl space waterproofing solutions permanently keep water from invading your space and damaging your property. There are plenty of benefits associated with waterproofing. For example, it can:
- Help negate the negative effects of humidity
- Eliminate musty smells
- Get rid of mold growth
- Discourage pest infestations
- Increase energy efficiency and lower the cost of your energy bill
- Lead to healthier air indoors
- Protect the structural integrity of your building
- Increase the efficiency and lifespan of HVAC equipment
CRAWL SPACE ENCAPSULATION
Crawl space encapsulation is the process of adding a durable moisture barrier to the floor, sealing the space completely. The crawl space waterproofing sealant ensures moisture does not penetrate the walls and creates longer-term problems. Along with waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation is the best solution to maintaining humidity levels in the crawl space to prevent moisture/mold issues.
HOW TO TELL IF YOUR CRAWL SPACE HAS WATER DAMAGE
Not sure if your crawl space needs waterproofing? We can help with that. You can use our quick and easy online Symptom Checker to discover how moisture and water can affect your home or business. Once you’ve identified some problem areas, our virtual system will show you some options for a permanent repair solution. It is also crucial to have a certified technician find out the root of the water intrusion or moisture issues for proper repair and to ensure the issue doesn’t return.
HOW CRAWL SPACE WATERPROOFING WORKS
Crawl spaces are prone to moisture, especially in the south. This is because the air is hot and humid. When it combines with the cooler air in your crawl space, it creates condensation.
Waterproofing your crawl space can be as easy as installing plastic sheeting on the ground and walls. However, more permanent solutions are also available from experienced technicians like the team at Moisture Loc. We’ll take a close look at your crawl space to determine the problem and then use our extensive experience to identify the perfect solution to your needs.
Exterior Waterproofing System
Exterior Waterproofing locks moisture away from a crawl space, making it the perfect solution for homes under construction and existing homes with exterior access to below-grade walls. A heated asphalt emulsion is sprayed on exterior walls to stop water from ever getting in, and drain installation moves water safely away from your foundation walls.
Interior Waterproofing System
If you opt for interior waterproofing, we will install a crawl space drain system inside the crawl space. These systems help capture water in the space and redirect it outside of the building where it won’t damage your property.
Oftentimes, the type of crawl space waterproofing system you need depends on the cause of your water issues. We can help you diagnose your crawl space water problems and recommend the best system for your home or business.
