Improved Crawl Space Air Quality

A damp or musty crawl space can cause poor air quality and circulation throughout your home. Excavating and encapsulating the crawl space can prevent moisture from entering and improve air quality throughout your home.

Crawl Space Mold Prevention

Excessive moisture in a crawl space is the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew growth. Excavating the crawl space and implementing a vapour barrier can significantly reduce the risk of mold and mildew growth throughout your home.

Crawl Space Energy Efficiency

This service can be more cost-effective for homeowners with a tight budget while still adding more height to their basements. It involves adding new footing alongside the existing foundation, reinforcing the structure without excavating.

Pest Prevention

Unfortunately, crawl spaces are also prone to pest infestations, but by excavating and encapsulating the space, you can prevent pests from entering your home and causing damage.
