Moisture Control and Encapsulation Services in Hampton Roads

Moisture problems in homes and businesses can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and pest infestations, especially in the humid climate of Hampton Roads. Our moisture control and encapsulation services are designed to protect your property by reducing excess moisture, improving air quality, and safeguarding your foundation and crawl spaces.

Why Moisture Control is Important

Excess moisture in crawl spaces, basements, and other areas can create a host of issues, including:

• Structural Damage: Moisture weakens wood, drywall, and foundations over time.
• Mold and Mildew Growth: Damp environments promote the growth of mold, which can affect air quality and lead to health issues.
• Pest Infestations: Termites, rodents, and other pests are attracted to moist environments, increasing the risk of infestations.
• High Energy Bills: Moisture problems can affect your HVAC system, making it work harder to regulate temperatures.

Our Moisture Control and Encapsulation Services

Comprehensive Moisture Inspections

We begin by inspecting your property to identify sources of excess moisture, such as:

• Standing water in crawl spaces or basements.
• Poor drainage around your foundation.
• Leaks in pipes, roofs, or HVAC systems.
• High humidity levels in confined spaces.

Crawl Space Encapsulation

Encapsulation is the process of sealing your crawl space to eliminate moisture problems and create a clean, dry environment. Our encapsulation process includes:

• Vapor Barriers: Installing heavy-duty liners over the crawl space floor and walls to prevent ground moisture from entering.
• Sealing Openings: Closing off vents, cracks, and gaps to block external moisture and pests.
• Dehumidifiers: Adding a high-capacity dehumidifier to regulate humidity levels and maintain a dry environment.

Foundation and Drainage Solutions

To address exterior moisture issues, we provide:

• French Drains: Installing drainage systems to redirect water away from your foundation.
• Grading Improvements: Reshaping the landscape to ensure proper water runoff.
• Foundation Sealing: Applying waterproof coatings to protect your foundation from water intrusion.

Mold Remediation and Prevention

If mold is present, we provide professional mold remediation services to remove existing growth and apply treatments to prevent future issues.

Wood Treatment and Repair

We treat wood surfaces in your crawl space to protect against moisture damage, mold, and wood-destroying pests like termites. Damaged wood is repaired or replaced to restore structural integrity.

• Enhanced Air Quality: Reducing moisture helps prevent mold and improves the air you breathe indoors.
• Pest Prevention: Sealing your crawl space and addressing moisture issues makes your property less attractive to pests.
• Lower Energy Costs: Encapsulation improves insulation, making it easier to regulate indoor temperatures.
