Baltimore experiences a lot of rain throughout the year, resulting in a very soggy environment that can start to deteriorate structures in your crawl space. Winters are short, cold, and wet, while summers are short and humid. During the hot and humid summer months, your crawl space needs to be protected from water damage, mold growth, and excess humidity. The soil is deep and well-drained, unlike the expansive clay soil found in other parts of the Southeast. Homeowners in Baltimore should look into crawl space encapsulation to protect their homes from water damage and deterioration.
Our innovative solutions – such as a crawl space dehumidifier or sump pump – effectively remove water once inside your crawl space, while crawl space encapsulation permanently seals off your crawl space from water and other external elements. Crawl space insulation adds an extra protective layer against the elements. JES Foundation Repair specializes in these crawl space repairs and encapsulation solutions, and we have the expertise to permanently protect your crawl space from water.
While we do not recommend that you venture into your crawl space to investigate it, it is vital to be aware of the signs something is wrong. Because of the wet climate, it’s possible that your crawl space area has been damaged by water, which can lead to additional problems like mold, pest infestations, and humidity buildup. Recognizing these signs of damage to your crawl space means you don’t have to worry about more damage happening down the line. Crawl space damage can put the structural security of your home’s foundation at risk, making your home a very unpleasant and unsafe environment.
Many crawl space issues in Baltimore are caused by the peculiar, well-drained but deep soils in the area, which allow water pressure to build up and begin to press against your crawl space. Your crawl space will be wet due to the leakage. In addition to this, an inefficient vapor barrier, which can be broken down over time, is more of a long-term maintenance issue that happens slowly. It’s possible that the foundation of your crawl space will shift because of soil shifting or water intrusion. Open crawl space vents are another major culprit that put your crawl space and home at risk.
When it comes to fixing problems in Baltimore, you need to employ the right solutions the first time because our humid summers and rainy winters can lead to a plethora of issues! Crawl space repair difficulties can be resolved permanently with the help of JES. With the addition of a sump pump, interior drainage system, vapor barrier, and a dehumidifier, your crawl space encapsulation installation is complete. This provides you with a permanent solution that will protect your crawl space for years to come. Check out our other crawl space repair and encapsulation solutions below.
If you reside in Baltimore, crawl space encapsulation may be your best bet for keeping it dry and free of mold and standing water. Free, no-obligation inspections are available from JES whether you choose to repair or encapsulate your crawl space.
