Crawl Space Problem Signs in Hampton Roads
There are numerous problem signs indicating that your Hampton Roads crawl space could benefit from repair or encapsulation. Many are visible within the crawl space that your JES inspector can readily notice including wet insulation, standing water or flooding, condensation, and mold. There also are several other symptoms throughout the rest of your house that point to damage to the crawl space that you should keep an eye out for. These include sagging floors, high electric bills, excessive humidity, mold, and more pest activity than normal. Request a free crawl space inspection and repair quote from JES before any of these problems get worse.

Wet Crawl Space Insulation
Wet and sagging insulation in your crawl space can be a very worrying sight for any homeowner. You may not know much about the topic, but you probably know at least a little bit about the fact that insulation all around your home is important.

Condensation
Condensation and excessive humidity in the crawl space are common problems, but many homeowners may not know how these issues started or how to fix them.

Crawl Space Mold
Mold can be destructive for your home’s foundation, leading to more issues such as wood rot and poor air quality.
Causes of Crawl Space Damage in Hampton Roads
Crawl space problems can originate from any number of causes. Interior plumbing pipes can burst, and your Hampton Roads crawl space may not have been constructed correctly if over spanned floor joists could be failing to support the load of the home. But the most common sources of crawl space problems are open crawl space vents and the stack effect. Open vents allow humid air in the crawl space, and water from the area’s frequent precipitation also can find its way inside. The unhealthy air, moisture, and other problems like mold can rise through the house because of the stack effect’s natural airflow in a home from bottom to top.

Open Crawl Space Vents
Crawl space vents may seem like a nice idea, which is why many older homes have them. However, open vents are increasingly being discovered to be a breeding ground for mold, bugs, and other issues.

Over Spanned Floor Joists
If your home has a crawl space, the floors inside are being supported by floor joists. Anything that damages these integral structures is also going to damage your floors.

Bad Vapor Barrier
Vapor barriers are an essential part of the crawl space encapsulation process. Unfortunately, low-quality barriers are not a permanent solution, and even if they are maintained often, eventually, they will need to be replaced.
Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation Solutions in Hampton Roads
If your Hampton Roads home has a vented dirt crawl space, it can greatly benefit from repair and encapsulation solutions installed by the expert team at JES. After a complete evaluation from one of our inspectors, they will recommend solutions customized to your crawl space’s unique repair needs. These can include an interior crawl space drain, sump pump, dehumidifier, thermal insulation, vapor barrier, vent covers, and support posts. Made in the United States, these products are tested and proven to keep your crawl space free of water problems. They also fit perfectly together as a whole crawl space repair and protection system.

Dehumidifiers
A dehumidifier is a system that can keep your crawl space dry. Since it’s designed to remove moisture that’s present in the air, your property is spared from encountering water damage all year round.

Crawl Space Encapsulation
Crawl space encapsulation offers many benefits for your crawl space, including moisture protection, cleaner air, and extra protection from pests.

Drainage System
A properly functioning French drainage system will intercept that water and prevent it from damaging this sensitive area.
