Why Is My Home Humid?

If you have a crawl space or basement, it is common to have humidity issues within your home. This is because if the crawl space or basement is unfinished, then there is basically a huge hole beneath your home allowing moisture to circulate throughout your home. We have solutions for crawl spaces and basements to keep them from making your home feel sticky.

Crawl spaces:

Our solution for crawl spaces is a crawl space encapsulation system. If you have a wet crawl space, it is essential that you consider having the crawl space encapsulated. We condition the crawl space by sealing off any outside air, regrading the soil towards a sump pump, placing a drainage matting, installing a CleanSpace vapor barrier, installing a SmartSump sump pump, and installing a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This keeps the crawl space dry and protects the crawl space if a pipe were to burst in the home. 

Basements:

Our solution to a wet basement is to waterproof the basement. Waterproofing a basement involves installing a SmartSump sump pump, and installing a perimeter drainage system along the basement walls that leads to the sump pump. We can also place PermaFlex along the walls to seal off any moisture that may seep in through block walls. We have many custom solutions to keep your basement dry and protect it from flooding.

Common signs that it may be time for a crawl space or basement repair include:

• In home humidity
• Mold growth throughout the home
• Heightened allergies or asthma while at home
• Musty odors
• Wood rot or rust
• Pest or insect infestations
