Crawl Space Work

Encapsulation 

If you do not have any standing water/rain leaks (or after we have solved the leak issue) but are experiencing any problems with: Mold, Smells, Air Quality Issues, Humidity, Buckling Hardwoods, Allergies, then encapsulating (which is sealing off and conditioning your crawl space) is the only solution to solving all of these issues.

We transform your crawl space so dramatically that once we are done, you’ll want to have lunch down there just to celebrate!  By improving the air quality in the Crawl Space, you improve the air quality of your entire home (Stack Effect) and those that live in it.  You also protect yourself from mold/mildew growth, your hardwoods from buckling because of excessive moisture in the crawl and have eliminated the musty, moldy, dampness and dirt smells.  General scope of work for sealing the crawl:

  1. Debris removal and grading is performed to ensure the tough, long lasting quality of the vapor barrier is realized
  2. Sealed – stop uncontrolled, leaky air that allows high humidity and the moisture problems that result.  High quality, extremely tough and durable Class 1 vapor barrier is utilized to seal the ground, walls and piers; other detailed stop gap measures are taken to seal penetrations, vents, holes, seams etc.
  3. Conditioned – We install a high performance, long lasting Dehumidifier to automatically control the humidity and create a clean, dry environment
  4. 25-year Warranty is provided with a complete Sealed Crawl Solution

STRUCTURAL ISSUE?  We do not provide structural repair services for crawl spaces. Please contact us for some great references to Foundation Repair Contractors that we trust who have similar customer focused, integrity lead philosophy that we have used to build AKME Waterproofing.

What People are saying...

“Excellent! I hired these guys to handle our crawlspace encapsulation and they not only did a fantastic job during the project, but continue to follow-up after every major rain to ensure all is well. To boot, they came back when my Dehumidifier went south and handled the return and shipment of a new one with the manufacturer. A SOLID company that is worth your consideration.”

“Excellent! Steve found the problem and it is repaired. With all the rain since the repair, we have had no leak. Steve is excellent and very patient to explain the ‘why’. Very conscientious and ethical–need more guys like him! We have a pesky, leaky wall in our basement. Steve repaired the initial leak almost 2 years ago and was perplexed when we called him back for a leak in what seemed to be the same area. Through his patience, we were able to find that a very old (20+ years) repair had given way to new problems.”

"Couldn’t be happier. Steve and his team worked methodically to repair two significant cracks that resulted from a sewer line leak in our basement. The repairs have been in place for almost three years providing a completely sealed basement wall. His knowledge of foundations and creating and maintaining waterproof space is evident in his work.”
