Basement Waterproofing - Water damage can have a major impact on your home or business. It only takes a little bit of water to cause major water damage. That damage can lead to a whole host of structural issues for your building & air quality issues in your home.

Foundation Repair - The most common cause of foundation damage boils down to unstable soil conditions causing structures to shift. Whether that’s because of high moisture content or poor soil conditions, this movement throws off the weight distribution of your home, causing potentially catastrophic damage.

Crawlspace Repair - Much of the air you breathe comes from your crawlspace. By reducing moisture, soil gases & mold/mildew, you will be improving the overall air quality in your home.

    Crawlspace Encapsulation in Ottawa County

    Crawlspace issues aren't something any homeowner should mess with. Due to the dark, damp conditions typically found in most crawlspaces, you're always going to be fighting with mold and mildew. Mold can be dangerous, releasing toxic spores causing respiratory problems particularly in children, elderly, and immuno-compromised individuals. It's also not at all uncommon to see mold as a contributing cause of sinus infections, allergies and other symptoms. It can cause all sorts of nasty problems and when exposed over long periods of time, they can lead to long-term health problems.

    Along with the potential risk of mold with an unencapsulated crawlspace, not taking care of your home can result in structural problems as well. This happens through the "stack effect". The stack effect happens when warm air rises and cool air from the crawlspace gets sucked into the living areas of your home. This, combined with other factors, means that significant amount of the air you breathe actually comes from your crawlspace. Additionally, if your crawlspace has too much moisture in it, the wood that supports your home will begin to rot, causing structural problems.

    What would be the fix to this? Repairing and Encapsulating Your Crawlspace. By reducing moisture, soil gases, mold, mildew and improving the overall air quality in your crawlspace, the air you breathe in your home will be cleaner and healthier.

    Over 50% of the air in your home comes from your crawlspace. When water makes its way into your home, it can damage your crawlspace and open up a lot of potential health hazards. Crawlspaces that are not encapsulated generally have excessive humidity. The high moisture levels allow mold and mildew to thrive, increasing problems with respiratory issues. At Foundation Restoration, we specialize in keeping crawlspaces dry and providing a safe and healthy home for you and your family.

    Consider the benefits of Crawlspace Encapsulation:
    • Reduction of smell - no more musty smells coming up from your crawlspace
    • Air quality - it's not just the smell that goes away, but the allergens, mold and other nasty particles that are reduced or eliminated
    • Energy savings - insulation of the crawlspace leads to reduced energy costs of 20-40%
    • Moisture reduction - destructive moisture that can cause wood to rot and damage to your foundation is reduced or eliminated
    • Soil gasses - gases, such as the silent killer, "Radon" are reduced or eliminated from entering the home once encapsulation of the crawlspace is complete
    • Extra storage - with the water gone, you now have additional storage space and easier access for maintenance

    Once we're able to repair and encapsulate your crawlspace, we can have it as neat and clean as the one shown below! If you think you may have an issue with the crawlspace in your home give us a call at 877-625-3379 for a free estimate, or fill out our contact form and we'll come take a look at no charge to you.
