Water Management
- Moisture Control: Keeping humidity levels low is essential. We install Aprilaire dehumidifiers to maintain optimal humidity levels, ideally between 40% and 50%. Learn more about our Dehumidifier.
- Vapor Barriers: Installing a vapor barrier on the ground can help prevent moisture from the soil from rising into the crawl space. Learn more about our Vapor Barrier.
- Proper Drainage: Ensure that the area around the foundation has proper grading to direct water away from the house. Installing gutters and downspouts can help redirect rainwater.
- Sump Pumps: In areas prone to flooding, a sump pump can be installed to remove excess water that collects in the crawl space & foundations that are not properly sealed or water proofed. Learn more about our Sump Pump.
- Regular Inspections: Regularly check the crawl space for signs of moisture, mold, or pests. Early detection of problems can prevent more significant issues later. Learn more about our Annual Maintenance Program.
- Seal Cracks and Gaps: Ensure that any cracks in poured concrete injection walls or gaps around pipes are sealed to prevent water intrusion. Learn more about our Kemko Injections.
Delaware Crawl Space Company implements these strategies so our clients can effectively manage water in their crawl spaces, protecting their property from potential damage.
