Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation in Chapel Hill, NC

Many homes in Chapel Hill, NC, and throughout the Research Triangle were built with a crawl space to elevate the house off the ground and store utilities like pipes. This is useful, but crawl spaces are not without problems. Vented dirt crawl spaces allow water, mold, pests, and other hazards to run amok under your house. Nipping these problems in the bud before they impact your home’s safety and your family’s health is crucial. 

Doing so on your own is not a good idea, so Tar Heel Basement Systems wants to be your partner in permanent crawl space repair and encapsulation. We are well-equipped to handle crawl space dangers, thoroughly inspect this area of your house, and install the best solutions to improve its health and safety. We have been trusted crawl space professionals in Chapel Hill for 20 years, and we are ready to help you today!

Crawl Space Problems in Chapel Hill

Maintaining vigilance of the condition of your Chapel Hill crawl space is crucial, but we do not advise that you go into this cramped, sensitive, and hazardous area to inspect it. Leave that to professionals at Tar Heel who are experienced and equipped to handle it. We will look for water intrusion, wet insulation, ineffective vapor barriers, condensation, mold, wood rot, pests, and other issues. In your main living space, you also can keep an eye out for similar problems like mold and pests, as well as elevated humidity, musty odors, sagging floors, and higher-than-normal energy bills.

Causes of Crawl Space Damage in Chapel Hill

Water and humidity are common causes behind most crawl space problems, and Chapel Hill has no shortage of them. Humidity, primarily during the summer months, can be unbearable, and Chapel Hill typically receives 46 inches of rain per year, also mostly during the summer. This muggy air and water enter your home through open crawl space vents, creating the right conditions for mold growth and a haven for pests. Vents also contribute to the stack effect, and dangers like mold spores will rise from the crawl space and circulate in the air throughout your home. Additionally, if your home’s load was not correctly calculated, over spanned floor joists will not properly support the structure. 

Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation Solutions in Chapel Hill

At Tar Heel, our crawl space repair and encapsulation solutions are completely customizable to fit exactly what your Chapel Hill crawl space needs to stay healthy and dry. Interior drains, drainage matting, and sump pumps are used to waterproof your crawl space; our unique thermal insulation helps regulate the temperature; crawl space supports shore up sagging floors and floor joists; a thick and durable vapor barrier, as well as airtight vent covers and doors, encapsulate the space; and an energy-efficient dehumidifier controls moisture and humidity. All our products are American-made and protected by long-lasting warranties.

Cameron and Mekhi did a great job of installing a crawl drain and sump pump. They arrived on time, worked diligently, and completed the job sooner than was expected. All the while they answered my questions and provided a complete walk (crawl) through at the end. They were courteous and tried very hard to be sure I was pleased with the work. Excellent work by both of them!

I hired Tarheel Basement Systems to do a crawlspace encapsulation on a property that I am renovating and preparing for the market. I could not have been more pleased with their level of professionalism and workmanship. The entire experience was positive, starting with my sales person Nathan Seeley, and including our on-site crew of Jaylan, Daniel and McKai. I would highly recommend this company for foundation and crawlspace work. 👍🏻👍🏻

The the professional manner in which every part of the team approached the job at hand was far above my expectations. The Foreman, Shane English introduced his team Evan Boswell and Jaziah Christ to me. They were courteous, hard working, kept the job site clean and organized. They were very timely arriving at job site. No waiting on my part. They ask me several times if I had any questions. And they placed items back where they needed to be. I have several other projects in mind for Tarheel Basement Solutions. I would not hesitate to recommend them for your projects.

After an annual maintenance service of our crawl space encapsulation and at the suggestion of Grant we decided to move forward with a plan to stabilize an area of our foundation that was weakened for some time. Tyree and Christian came out two days later to install beams and jacks to secure that part of the foundation. Tyree explained everything that was going to happen, what it would do to stabilize the foundation, and how long it would take. Everything went very smoothly and I went into the crawlspace to inspect the work and learn how the system would add support to the foundation. Tyree explained in terms I could understand. Both men were professional and finished in the time they laid out. This is my second experience with Tar Heel and both went well.

From the time I called to request an initial revie, until the work was completed, this process was professional and convenient. Zack came and crawled around in the very tight crawl space during the initial examination and then scoped the work and cost same day with me. John C and Brian C were the service representatives performing the installation of the membrane and foam board over a two day process. These guys worked so hard and kept me informed on status the whole way. I gave 5 stars because I've had lots of service jobs performed at my home and this team and the work done exceeded my expectations.
