Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation in Youngstown, OH

Review Logo 4.8 (2,851)

Unlike a basement, a crawl space is a very small area that lifts your house off the ground. It is also convenient for storing plumbing, electrical wiring, and ductwork, but it is not without its faults. Most crawl spaces have open vents that pests can crawl through, humid summer air and cold winter air can pass through, and Youngstown's year-round precipitation (39 inches of rain and 24 inches of snow) can leak through. Elevated humidity, mold, wood rot, infestations, flooding, sagging floors, high energy bills, and other problems result from this perfect storm brewing under your house. With permanent crawl space repair and encapsulation from Ohio Basement Authority, you can lock out these problems and create a safer and healthier living environment. We'll install solutions such as crawl space supports, drainage, sump pumps, dehumidifiers, vapor barriers, and vent covers.

"Troy Wilson came out to my house to look at something in my basement that I have had issues with since the basement system was put in. The guy who came and did my inspection 2 years ago told me this was not covered under the life time warranty they provide. I thought that was ridiculous. But I had to live with it. Irritated with them now, Troy came out this year and said "yeah I'm going to fix that for you. It's covered under the warranty." FANTASTIC!!!!! I am thankful for Troy coming out and being professional and no bullshit crap. No excuses just fixed it. Super happy with him. Thanks again."

Common Causes of your Crawl Space Problems in Youngstown

Moisture and Humidity

Excess moisture and high humidity levels in the crawl space can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and structural damage. This often results from poor ventilation or water seepage.

Poor Drainage

Inadequate drainage systems can cause water to accumulate around the foundation, leading to water infiltration and increased moisture levels in the crawl space.

Open Crawl Space Vents

Open vents allow outside air and moisture to enter the crawl space, which can lead to condensation, mold growth, and pest infestations.

Foundation Cracks

Cracks in the foundation can compromise the structural integrity of your home by allowing water infiltration, which can lead to further deterioration and instability.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.

Understanding these common causes can help you take proactive measures to protect your crawl space and maintain the overall health of your home.
