Crawl Space FAQs
We prioritize your satisfaction and your home’s safety, using only the best repair solutions. Our products are made in the USA and have been rigorously tested to ensure they keep your crawl space clean, dry, safe, and healthy. These solutions are designed to work together, providing maximum value and preventing future issues.
Here’s how we address crawl space problems, the solutions we use, and how they work:
Address Leaking Water
To manage seeping water, we catch it first, channel it to a sump pump system, and then expel it away from your home.
Our CrawlDrain™ perimeter drainage system is installed in the dirt floor around the crawl space perimeter to capture water from walls and floors. This water is directed into the SafeDri™ Crawl Space Sump Pump System, which pumps it out and away from your home. Additionally, a FreezeGuard™ can be added to the exterior sump pump discharge line to prevent flooding if the line freezes or gets blocked.
Seal the Crawl Space from Outside Elements
Sealing your crawl space from air, water, and pests is crucial. We begin with durable vent covers for the crawl space vents.
Next, we install a heavy-duty moisture and vapor barrier. Our CrawlSeal™ liner, rated above 25-mil strength at the seams, is three times thicker than standard builder’s grade liner and isolates the crawl space from the earth. CrawlSeal™ is waterproof, mold-resistant, and prevents moisture and vapor intrusion.
We also offer thick drainage matting that can be placed on the crawl space floor before encapsulation to help direct water to the CrawlDrain™ system and enhance the strength of the CrawlSeal™ liner.
Properly Insulate the Crawl Space
Rigid ExTremeBloc™ panels on crawl space walls provide superior insulation, resisting moisture and mold unlike fiberglass insulation. These panels also include an integrated termiticide to deter termites. CrawlSeal™ helps insulate the crawl space, and spray foam can be applied to rim joists to seal gaps around your foundation’s perimeter. These methods prevent wood rot and facilitate termite treatments.
Condition the Air
Our low-profile crawl space dehumidifier is powerful and energy-efficient. It cleans and filters the air, controls moisture and humidity, and reduces odors and potential mold growth. The self-draining unit can be directed to drain into the crawl space perimeter drainage system, sump pump system, or a condensate pump can be installed.
Reinforce Support Systems
Wooden floor supports and light-duty jack posts often fail in wet, humid crawl spaces. Our durable IntelliJacks™, made of galvanized steel, provide reliable support, stabilizing and lifting sagging floors and floor joists back to level.
When you contact us, you will speak with one of our customer care representatives about your crawl space concerns. Together, we will schedule a free inspection and estimate with one of our certified field inspectors.
During the consultation, you can expect the inspector to:
- Conduct a thorough evaluation of your home’s interior and exterior, including an in-depth assessment of the crawl space for any water intrusion, damage, pests, and more.
- Discuss their findings with you and understand your goals for the repair project.
- Offer customized solutions tailored to your specific repair needs.
- Provide a detailed proposal of the recommended solutions before leaving your home.
- Discuss payment and financing options with you.
If you decide to proceed with the repair project, we will schedule your repairs with our highly trained installation crew. Our crew members will treat your home with the utmost care and respect, using world-class solutions to ensure your satisfaction. Their work is not complete until you are 100% satisfied. Should any issues arise after installation, we will return to fix them. We also offer various service and maintenance options to protect our work and your home.
We would greatly appreciate it if you would write a review about your experience with us and refer us to your friends and family!
Now that you’ve seen the potential hazards lurking beneath your home and the impact they can have on your family, it’s natural to want to address them immediately. However, before you rush to your local home improvement store for supplies, take a moment to reconsider.
Crawl space repair is a complex task that cannot be adequately handled over a weekend, regardless of your DIY skills. Quick fixes often lead to bigger problems, especially during real estate transactions, where they can raise red flags and ultimately cost you more time and money to correct. It’s essential to trust these projects to professional contractors who can ensure the job is done right the first time.
We encourage you to educate yourself thoroughly to make the best decision and invest wisely in trustworthy repair solutions from a reliable contractor.
Contractors once believed that installing vents in crawl space walls would improve airflow in these dark, humid areas. However, we’ve since learned that crawl space vents do more harm than good. They allow moisture to enter, promoting mold growth and affecting your home’s internal temperature, which can increase your energy bills.
Crawl space vent covers are the perfect solution to this problem, and our professionals can install them quickly. Made from solid and durable materials, our vent covers are designed to prevent moisture and pests from entering your crawl space.
If you think you could benefit from installing our vent covers, contact us at CNT Foundation Services today.
