Should I Waterproof My Crawlspace?

A waterproofed crawlspaceIf you’re like most homeowners, then the crawlspace under your home is somewhere you avoid at all costs. If something needs to be done under there, that’s what contractors are for, right? Unfortunately, you’re going to need to pay some attention to your crawlspace, as it can become the source of larger issues for your home if water is able to seep into it. Some of the problems that constant moisture intrusion into a crawlspace can cause include musty smells, fungal growth, and rot that can lead to structural damage.

Crawlspace Encapsulation

The fastest way to solve this issue is crawl space waterproofing. In this process, a moisture barrier is installed on the floor of the crawl space, all vents and other openings to the outside are sealed off, and the walls are insulated. These steps will help keep moisture out, and a dehumidifier can be installed to regulate the level of moisture in the air.

In addition to preventing moisture intrusion, crawlspace waterproofing will also:

  • Help lower energy bills by making the home more energy efficient
  • Prevent pests from taking up residence under your home
  • Improve the air quality in your home

“We needed to replace structural supports and reinforce the floors in the basement of our 1920s home. It was an extensive job, and ESOG came highly recommended from our home inspector and another contractor I trust. We had an excellent experience. The team performing the work was excellent. They worked so hard, stayed on task, kept us informed, and were tidy and neat. They were also polite and friendly. Our whole experience exceeded expectations in every way.”

“Very happy with the recent work on my crawl space by ESOG. They were reliable and took the time to do the job right and left my basement cleaner than when they arrived. My crawlspace has never been so dry, and my basement has lost the damp musty smell from before. Questions and any issues were answered and resolved immediately. Big shout out to ESOG!”
