Crawl Space Repair in the Kansas City Metro
Overview
A Healthier Crawl Space, A Healthier Home
A damp, unsupported crawl space doesn’t stay contained to itself. Moisture rises into the living space above, and sagging or rotting floor joists can lead to bouncy or uneven floors throughout the house.
We reinforce weak or sagging framing with adjustable steel support piers, address the moisture source, and where appropriate, install a vapor barrier or full encapsulation system to keep ground moisture from ever reaching the wood framing.
Encapsulation in particular tends to make a noticeable difference in musty odors and humidity levels in the rooms directly above the crawl space.

FAQ
Common Questions
What is crawl space encapsulation?
Encapsulation involves sealing the crawl space with a heavy-duty vapor barrier covering the ground and often the walls, cutting off ground moisture from the wood framing and the air above.
Will encapsulation lower my energy bills?
A sealed, moisture-controlled crawl space can reduce the load on your HVAC system since it is no longer conditioning humid, uncontrolled air leaking up into the home, though savings vary by home.
How long do crawl space repairs take?
Pier installation is often completed in a day. Full encapsulation typically takes one to three days depending on the size of the crawl space and the extent of moisture damage to address first.
Our crawl space was damp and musty every spring. After the encapsulation, the smell is gone and the floors upstairs don't feel cold anymore. Wish we'd called sooner.
