If your home is in need of exterior drainage to keep water away from your home, we can install French drains to prevent water from pooling near your foundation and instead distributing it elsewhere in your yard.
If your home has a crawl space, we also specialize in crawl space encapsulation. Through the sealing off of your crawl space, including installing a tear-resistant vapor barrier on the walls and floor, we can keep your crawl space dry.
Crawl space encapsulation is important because it is a space you might rarely check but can have significant problems caused by moisture. This ranges from mold to wood rot to pest infestations.
If moisture in the crawl space has led to damage in your home's pier and beam foundation, we can also fix that. Our pier and beam repair services include replacing rotting beams and floor joists.
