"Had a great experience with this company! Estimate and scope of work was clear, the price was fair, and Bryce and Jose went above and beyond to reroute my dryer vent inside of an interior wall and away from the waterproofing area! Definitely would recommend"

"Awesome company. Honest, fair and reliable. We were in a very difficult situation because we were out of town when this problem needed to be resolved and we had to rely on TJ with everything including coordinating with another contractor to get the work done within a very short time period. TJ made sure that everything worked out perfectly and updated me on every step of the process. This was a real relief and I had the feeling I could trust them from the first day on. I cannot thank him and everybody else there enough."
"Our experience with this company has been great! We have used their services in the past and was very, very pleased with the work they did for us. Because we were so satisfied with their services, we reached out to them once again to take care of our exterior waterproofing and termite problem. As always, their professionalism is above par. They solved our issues in a timely, thorough and affordable manner. I highly recommend their services to others."

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.
Regular inspections, maintaining proper grading around the foundation, and keeping gutters clear are advisable. Vapor barriers and sealants may need checking for wear after several years.
In nearly all cases, you are required to install a vapor barrier in your crawl space. However, local regulations will change based on the local climate and the crawl space's susceptibility to moisture. Even if a vapor barrier is not legally required, it is often a good idea to keep your crawl space dry.
Underfloor insulation alone will not cause moisture and mold, but improper installation can. Although the purpose is to seal any drafts, your subfloor still needs ventilation. If you seal the area too tightly and prevent all airflow, this can cause moisture to get trapped. This moisture eventually leads to mold and—if your floors are wood—rotting.
One handy thing about whole-house dehumidifiers is, once installed, you don’t have to worry about placement or changing the dehumidifier’s position. But if you are using a portable dehumidifier, we suggest keeping it away from walls, vents, and furniture. It needs a central, unobstructed spot with access to lots of air to do its job.
