We seal crawlspaces in Wake County against ground moisture, the musty air that rises into your house, and the conditions mold grows in.
Who we areSound familiar?
Most crawlspace problems start the same way.
Moisture from the soil evaporates into the open space under your house.2
A musty smell indoors, worst on humid days
Mold or dark staining on the floor joists
Floors that feel soft or cold
Water or wet soil under the house after rain
Insulation sagging or lying on the ground

The details
The details that keep a vapor barrier sealed.
A vapor barrier only works if every edge is sealed. These are the edges, and how we seal them.
Fig. 2.1 Walls
We fasten the top edge of the wall liner with masonry screws through washers, over double-sided butyl tape.
Fig. 2.2 Seams
Laps of at least 12 inches, sealed, and run upslope so water crosses a seam rather than entering it.
Fig. 2.3 Piers
Each pier gets its own wrap, at least 4 inches up and 12 inches out, so the floor sheet laps over a flap.
Fig. 2.4 Pipes and posts
Every pipe, duct and wire through the sheet gets a patch cut with an X, slid over it and taped as a collar.
Fig. 2.5 Insulation
We rehang loose insulation as part of the job.
Before and after
Wet ground and open air, then one sealed surface.

Questions
Before you call.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes. We come out, go under the house, measure and check the moisture. It costs you nothing.
How long does the inspection take?
About an hour.
Will the price change once you start?
No. You get one fixed figure for the scope we measured, and it holds unless you change the scope.
How long does an install take?
It depends on the job: the size of the crawlspace, what is in it, and the system. You know the timeline with your fixed price, before we start.
Which system do I need, partial or full?
That is decided at the inspection, from what we measure and find under your house.
What happens to the old insulation?
Loose insulation hanging from the joists is rehung as part of the job, and priced after the inspection.
What if there is standing water?
Standing water has to be dealt with before a liner goes down. We tell you what we find at the inspection.
