Crawlspace Waterproofing | Sterling Heights, MI

Water damage often goes unnoticed until it is extremely serious. By the time many homeowners spot it, mold has already permeated the air. Water stains mar many different surfaces, and the air feels damp and sticky.

Needless to say, the best way to prevent this from happening is by keeping water out of your home.

Crawlspaces are one of the most common areas of the home to experience water damage. Since the crawlspace is beneath the ground, it is more likely to have extra moisture and water leaks from the foundation or pipes.

Bluebird is here to help with crawlspace waterproofing. We will help you protect your crawlspace and your home from water.

The Value of Crawlspace Waterproofing

A crawlspace is a small area built beneath the first floor of the home. These are typically a maximum of just two or three feet in height, which is why most people have to “crawl” through to access them. The purpose of this space is to provide access to electrical, pipes, and plumbing when they need to be looked at. It can also be used for some storage.

However, most people don’t visit their crawlspace very often. Unfortunately, this means that it can be hard to maintain a crawlspace and keep it dry.

Waterproofing helps to protect your crawlspace from the following dangers:

• Mold – Crawlspaces are small, dark, and cool, so mold tends to enjoy it there. If water makes its way into your crawlspace, there’s a very high chance you’ll end up with a mold infestation. Keeping water out is the best way to prevent mold from making your crawlspace its home.
• Pests – Water itself is damaging enough, but to make matters worse, it tends to attract pests. Rats, mice, and insects are attracted to water and may even be transported into your crawlspace via water. These pests can wreak havoc on your home, gnawing into electrical or wood. Waterproofing shuts out the water and pests.
• Foundation Rot – Damp wood is a recipe for disaster. Water, and the fungi and bacteria in it, eat away at the wood. Rotten wood is weaker and compromises the strength of your foundation. Keeping the wood and drywall around your crawlspace dry is imperative for the structural integrity of your home.
