Crawl Space & Basement Technologies

In 1989, Crawl Space and Basement was established to deal with problems that are specific to crawl spaces and basements. These two areas in a home are unique when they leak because unlike a broken pipe, the repair is usually not obvious. Even when there is no standing water, these areas constantly exude humidity which causes problems throughout the living space. Usually, once a homeowner realizes there is an issue, the damage has become so extensive that professional help is required. Crawl space and basement moisture and water remediation by encapsulation and waterproofing is our focus.

It's no secret that a well-insulated house operates much more efficiently than one that is not insulated properly. It also can greatly reduce the size of the HVAC equipment that you need to reach peak results. The real secret lies in the understanding of our building codes and realizing these codes are minimum standards. For maximum efficiency and control of your home, the standard must be raised to meet modern, energy-efficient standards. Crawl Space & Basement Technologies works with existing homes.

If you've noticed creaking in your home, sagging spots in the floor or porch, or gaps between the wall and the floor, there's a good chance your home needs leveling. While this may seem alarming, the process is fairly straight forward in the hands of experienced professionals. But before you know that you need floor leveling, you should know the signs of an uneven floor. Once you've identified an uneven floor in your Raleigh home, there are several options for how to fix it. The two most popular choices are self-leveling concrete and floor jacking.

A leaky Raleigh basement can cause terrible issues such as odors, mold, damage to valuable belongings, structural damage and the list goes on and on. Odds are your basement has already had some exterior waterproofing system installed when the house was built. This could include a french drain or a waterproofing compound applied to the below-grade walls. Unfortunately, this type of exterior waterproofing system does not prevent hydrostatic pressure from building up under the slab and then causing basement leakage.

Crawl space encapsulation is the key to reducing moisture build-up and extending the life of your Raleigh area home. The crawl space is the origin for most of the "dirty" air in your home. The EPA says that 60% of all the air on the first floor of your house travels through the crawl space. Because of the penetrations in the floor that separate your living area from the crawl space and because of leaks from your HVAC system, a crawl space is usually kept under negative pressure. In the summer, this negative pressure draws hot, humid, mold-laden air into your crawl space where condensation and mold growth take place.
