Besides a New Door, what are Other Crawl Space Repair Solutions?

No homeowner should ignore any crawl space damage they see for very long. It is always a good idea to make an appointment with a crawl space expert to repair any smaller issues before they get out of hand. Here are just some of the solutions that Tar Heel Basement Systems can provide your home.  

• Sump Pumps and Vapor Barriers 

Our powerful sump pumps can easily pump thousands of gallons of water out of your crawl space no matter what the weather. It will also activate on its own, so you do not have to worry about rushing to turn it on in the middle of a heavy storm. Its back-up batteries will also ensure that it will not stop working should your power go out.  You can rest easy knowing that your crawl space will stay completely dry with this pump around.  

Installing a thick vapor barrier around your crawl space can fully protect the space from any potential moisture damage. This durable barrier can protect your crawl space from any humidity or moisture, mold, and mildew spores. It is also covered in an antimicrobial additive that will discourage any dirt, dust, or mold spores from settling on the barrier itself. 

• Vent Covers and Dehumidifiers 

If your crawl space door is not adequately protecting your crawl space from moisture, you need a better waterproofing solution to seal off your crawl space. Tar Heel Basement Systems’ crawl space experts can easily fit vent covers over any open crawl space vents. These covers are made of a sturdy plastic that is guaranteed to never rot away or blow off in a storm. 

Humidity can impose plenty of problems to both your crawl space and your home above. Therefore, you need a machine that can keep the air within the crawl space completely dry. Dehumidifiers can filter and circulate the air around your crawl space to ensure it will not retain too much moisture and ruin the systems that keep your house running.
