What Causes Crawl Space Damage?
Crawl space problems are common in South Carolina homes, and they often arise from a mix of environmental conditions and structural issues. Here are some of the top causes of crawl space damage:
- Poor drainage or grading around your foundation
- Heavy rain or high groundwater
- Leaky or broken pipes
- High humidity and poor ventilation
- Damaged or missing vapor barriers
- Clogged or broken gutters and downspouts
- Cracks in the crawl space walls
- Shifting soil under your foundation
Our Crawl Space Waterproofing Solutions in South Carolina
At CNT Foundations, we know that South Carolina’s weather and soil can cause moisture to build up under your home. That’s why we offer simple, effective waterproofing solutions to keep your crawl space safe and dry all year long.
Take a look at our trusted options below to see how we help protect homes across the state, starting with the crawl space:
Crawl Space Dehumidifier
Too much humidity in your crawl space can lead to mold, wood rot, and poor air quality in your home. That’s why we install high-efficiency dehumidifiers and crawl space encapsulation to manage moisture effectively throughout the year. These systems remove excess moisture from the air, helping to protect your home’s structure and ensuring the air inside your house is cleaner and healthier.
Wall Anchors
If your crawl space or basement walls are bowing or cracking, wall anchors can help fix the problem. These strong steel anchors stop walls from moving due to soil pressure or moisture, and they can even help straighten them over time. They’re installed with little impact on your yard and are firmly attached to the ground and the wall to keep everything stable.
Sump Pump Systems
At CNT Foundations, we install sump pump systems that quickly remove water from your crawl space, especially during heavy rain. This helps prevent moisture damage and keeps the area dry. You can choose a single or dual-pump system, and add a battery backup to keep it working during power outages. Each system is installed by our experts and customized to fit your home.
Crawl Space Wall Vapor Barrier
A crawl space wall vapor barrier is a durable, waterproof cover that stops moisture from getting into your crawl space. It helps prevent mold, wood damage, and insulation problems. Built to last, it keeps your crawl space cleaner and healthier. When used with a floor vapor barrier and good drainage, it fully seals your crawl space to protect your home from moisture issues.
Benefits of Expert Crawl Space Waterproofing
Professional crawl space waterproofing isn’t just a quick fix; it’s a smart way to protect your home for the long run. By stopping moisture at the source, you can keep your foundation strong, your air cleaner, and your repair costs down.
Here are some of the key benefits South Carolina homeowners can expect with professional waterproofing:
Protection Against Mold and Mildew
Mold and mildew grow when there’s too much moisture. Professional waterproofing stops this by keeping your crawl space dry. This helps prevent musty smells and keeps your family healthy.
Prevents Structural Damage
Excess moisture can damage the wooden beams, floor joists, and supports in your home. Professional waterproofing keeps your foundation strong and prevents expensive repairs, keeping your crawl space and home safe and stable.
Improves Indoor Air Quality
Up to half of the air in your home comes through the crawl space, so keeping it dry helps improve the air you breathe. Professional waterproofing stops moisture that causes mold, mildew, and allergens, making your home fresher and healthier.
Prevents Risk of Flooding
Our expertly designed waterproofing systems use sump pumps and efficient drainage channels to keep your crawl space safe from water accumulation. This means no more worries about flooding or costly damage, even during heavy rains or seasonal storms.
Cost-Savings
Spending on professional crawl space waterproofing saves you money in the long run by preventing costly repairs, mold cleanup, and high energy bills from wet insulation and wood damage. A dry crawl space helps your home work better and costs less to run over time.
