Moisture or standing water in your crawlspace can cause damage to floor joists, floorboards, support posts, insulation, furnaces, water heaters, or any other items located in the crawlspace. It may also increase humidity levels and mold growth to spread throughout your home.
Crawlspace waterproofing is a key component in combating potential water issues and keeping your home and family safe. Bluebird CFW Foundation Repair & Waterproofing offers a complete crawlspace waterproofing solution for homes in Michigan. Crawlspace encapsulation is always recommended after installing an interior drainage system to seal off any moisture from the soil and trap musty smells.
Our Crawlspace Waterproofing Solutions Include
We safeguard your crawlspace from water damage by implementing the following waterproofing solutions:
Fix Leaks in the Crawlspace
Identifying any areas in the crawlspace that may be the source of water intrusion or moisture is an important first step. We will thoroughly inspect your crawlspace to identify the source of any leakage and implement the most effective solution to fix it.
A licensed plumber will need to address leaks from pipes, ductwork, or appliances in the crawlspace, such as water heaters or well pumps. Any standing water or moisture due to groundwater intrusion will be addressed by installing an interior drain tile and sump pump and encapsulating the crawlspace using a high-quality, durable vapor barrier to seal off moisture and musty smells.
Potential Damage in the Crawlspace
It is crucial to check your crawlspace for any signs of water damage regularly. Doing so enables you to take prompt action and prevent further damage. Here are some of the common warning signs of water damage in your crawlspace:
- High humidity and moisture: Excess moisture in the crawlspace leads to high humidity. If you notice condensation on surfaces in the crawlspace, it is most likely a sign of increased humidity. Increased humidity provides an environment where mold growth can thrive.
- Mold and mildew growth: Mold and mildew grow in damp areas. A damp crawlspace may have signs of mold on walls, floors, or other surfaces. Mold and mildew in the crawlspace may negatively affect the air quality in your home and may potentially lead to various health problems or exacerbate asthma or other respiratory issues.
- Musty smell: When moisture is trapped in the crawlspace, it gives off a musty odor. If left untreated, this odor spreads to other areas of your home and degrades indoor air quality.
- Sagging or warped floors: If the floors above your crawlspace are exposed to moisture, it may lead to warped flooring or sub floors. Water or moisture can also affect joists and beams that support the floor above resulting in saggy, bouncy or uneven floors.
Benefits of Crawlspace Waterproofing and Repair Solutions
Crawlspace waterproofing and repair solutions can offer the following benefits:
- Helps increase energy efficiency: Crawlspace waterproofing and repair solutions, especially encapsulation with insulation will help prevent damp, humid, or cold air from entering your home, resulting in increased energy efficiency.
- Creates a clean, sanitary, and usable crawlspace: Crawlspace encapsulation helps create a clean and dry area, which is ideal for storage.
- Reduces allergens in the crawlspace: A wet crawlspace attracts allergens such as dust, mold, and mites. Waterproofing with encapsulation is the best way to reduce the presence of these allergens.
