Moisture Control
Our Moisture Control solutions are designed around your home, your family, and your needs.
In addition to crawl space solutions, there are several steps homeowners can take around the property to help manage moisture before it reaches the foundation:
Gutters & Downspouts – Properly installed and maintained gutters direct rainwater away from your foundation. Extensions and splash blocks should move water at least 5–6 feet from the home.
Grading & Drainage – The soil around your home should slope away from the foundation to prevent water pooling near crawl space walls.
French Drains – An exterior or interior French drain can help channel groundwater away from the foundation and into a safe discharge area.
Regular Inspections – Periodically checking crawl space doors, foundation vents, and drainage systems ensures small issues are caught before they become larger problems.
Landscaping Maintenance – Keeping shrubs, mulch, and trees from being too close to the foundation reduces trapped moisture and promotes better airflow around the home.
These measures, combined with professional moisture control solutions, offer the best protection for your home’s structure and indoor air quality.
