The health of your home’s crawl space can determine the health of the rest of your house, and if there is water damage here, it can have far-reaching effects. Many homes suffer from crawl space flooding or high humidity, and if left unchecked this can result in things like mold and mildew growth, wood rot, insects, and more. Plus, thanks to something called the “stack effect,” the air from your crawl space circulates through the rest of your home, potentially exposing you and your family to hazardous mold and allergens.

In order to safeguard your home from these types of issues, we recommend professional crawl space waterproofing. Jamestown homeowners can breathe easy at night after Total Foundation Solutions installs a comprehensive crawl space waterproofing solution. We will take our time to fully assess the condition of your crawl space and recommend the most effective solutions for your home. We have many different tools at our disposal that we use to control the water and moisture that come with living in Jamestown, like vapor barriers and encapsulation systems:

• Crawl space encapsulation—this process covers every inch of your crawl space with a waterproof barrier, preventing the diffusion of vapor from the ground, ceiling, and walls.
• Vapor barriers—these professional moisture barriers can slow or stop water from coming into your crawl space.
• Dehumidifiers—these are energy-efficient machines that pull moisture out of the crawl space air and keep the humidity within a safe range.
• Drainage—both interior and exterior drainage systems can prevent the buildup of hazardous moisture.
• Ventilation—proper venting and airflow can keep your crawl space dry and free from mold.

Depending on the condition of your crawl space, our waterproofing experts in Jamestown will suggest the right combination of these techniques. Some crawl spaces in Jamestown need encapsulation or vapor barriers. Others just need proper drainage. A clean, dry crawl space can make your home feel more comfortable, improve your air quality, and even reduce your energy bills.
