Crawl Spaces

Have you ever wondered how your home's crawl space gets that moisture in it? At Seal-tite Basement Solutions, we have answers to these questions and solutions for all of Virginia and parts of North Carolina, West Virginia, and Tennessee. Water enters your crawlspace in many of the same ways that it enters a basement:

• Moisture on walls, dirt floor or plastic barrier appears from excess humidity or condensation
• Water enters through the ground and comes from hydrostatic pressure (water building up from below and being forced up into the crawlspace)
• Water enters through the cracks, seams or other penetrations in the walls. This is due to water draining or being forced through the walls.
• Water flows over the top of the walls because of improper grading. It could also be caused by improperly sealed porches or additions.

Neglecting your crawlspace can lead to a wide variety of problems, such as:

• Animal and insect infestations
• Mold & Rot
• Moisture Problems
• Health problems from poor air quality
• Settlement issues and other foundation problems
• Radon gases entering your living area

At Seal-Tite®, we have our own approach to helping you make your crawlspace clean and dry.
