Crawl Space Encapsulation
Structural SupportHave you noticed these crawl space issues in your home?
The crawl space is as connected to your home as any other room. But because it's tucked away, you probably don't look in there as much. Unfortunately, crawl spaces are extremely vulnerable to high humidity and moisture, which causes a lot of problems.
- Odors throughout the home
- Pest infestations
- Heightened allergies or asthma
- High energy bills
- Interior drywall cracks
- Uneven, sagging floors
What causes crawl space problems
Humidity & moisture
The number one source of all crawl space problems is moisture. It comes from two sources: the ground and the outdoor air. Water vapor and high humidity in your crawl space put the health, comfort, and safety of your home in jeopardy.
Poor insulation
If you have cold floors, your crawl space might be poorly insulated. Poor insulation in the crawl space can cause a lot of problems including high energy bills and pest infestations.
An exposed dirt floor
Dirt floors emit water vapor and as the damp soil dries, that moisture moves upward through your home. Nearly all homes with dirt floor crawl spaces have water damage, mold, increased humidity levels, bad air quality, and high energy bills.
No waterproofing
Some crawl spaces have bad or nonexistent footing drains and no damp-proof or waterproof exterior wall coatings. This makes it easier for water to get in, which can lead to mold, wood rot, and severe structural damage.

"I called Thrasher for an estimate for driveway/sidewalk work. Clint from the Wichita office walked through the repairs needed and gave us a fair cost estimate. Jacob and his crew completed the work, and it looks fantastic. Jacob walked me through the project so that there were no misunderstandings. He was always available to answer questions during the repairs. Overall, this was a very clear and precise process. This added several years to my driveway at a fraction of the cost of replacing it. It also came with a 5-year guarantee. I highly recommend Thrasher for concrete repair."

"Was a pleasure to work with Brett and Frank. I watched the crew drill and inject the poly into the driveway and sidewalk to level out the concrete. They answered my questions throughout the process. Brett spent time and was very patient and helpful in answering my concerns regarding the warranty and maintenance. All in all, I was very satisfied with the project."

Frequently Asked Questions
-
A crawl space is an unoccupied, unfinished, narrow space within a building, between the ground and the first floor. The crawl space is so named because there is typically only enough room to crawl rather than stand.
-
Yes. Once in your crawl space, warm air condenses and leaves standing water before it works its way up and out of your home. This process is known as the stack effect and will worsen over time, creating mold and wood rot in your crawl space while also hurting your home's energy efficiency. Our encapsulation system includes crawl space waterproofing techniques, which keep your crawl space dry and prevent whole-home moisture issues.
-
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to crawl space repair. Removing crawl space moisture means designing a system to address your home's unique issues.
-
There are ways to fill a crawl space in, but it is not cost-effective to do so. You can also turn it into a basement, but it is a complex and expensive process to complete.
-
Crawl space waterproofing is very similar to basement waterproofing. Installing an interior drainage system, crawl space sump pump system, and crawl space encapsulation system is the best way to address a damp, musty crawl space.
-
Unfortunately, there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to crawl space waterproofing, which means the cost can vary from one home to the next. The process and cost will be determined by the unique issues your crawl space presents and the steps it takes to address them.
