Professional & Affordable Topeka Crawl Space Services

The crawl space of a home provides a buffer between the soil and the home, allowing the home to “breathe” by circulating air underneath the house.  Some crawl spaces house critical components, such as HVAC, electrical, and plumbing.  But one of the most important reasons for a Topeka crawl space is to level a home’s foundation.  Instead of builders carving out space in the soil and laying a concrete slab, some will create a crawl space.  Although the house with a crawl space is not subject to typical foundation problems that arise from being built on top of the soil, there are still problems that can cause foundation issues.  One of them is the quality of the air circulating under the home. Sometimes the soil and the elements can create unpleasant odors, moisture, mold, wood rot, and even termites that can erode the home’s foundation. 

If you experience problems with the crawl space, it is time to call in the foundation experts to inspect it.  Topeka Foundation Repair and Waterproofing have 20 years of experience, and we are a top-rated foundation repair contractor.  If you suspect that your foundation may be compromised due to problems in the crawl space, contact one of our experts for a free estimate today!

If you smell foul odors circulating in your home that can’t be explained, or you notice that there is mold growing, this may indicate that your crawl space needs to be inspected.  Also, if you see that water is running into the crawlspace from the gutter downspouts or grading issues, this indicates that you need to have it checked.  It’s never a good idea to enter a crawl space to investigate on your own.  Crawl space inspection in Topeka is not a DIY project.  Without proper training or proper attire, you can put your health at risk because hazardous molds may be inhaled.

Encapsulation of your crawl space prevents leaks and moisture from getting into the crawl space.  Moisture and leaks are a breeding ground for fungus and mold to grow, negatively affecting the air quality in your home.  Crawl space encapsulation prevents the house from experiencing future damage from moisture and wood rot, two things that cause the foundation to deteriorate.  We eliminate harmful mold growth in the crawl space, insulate the crawl space, clean out debris, lay down a moisture barrier, and install a dehumidifier.  Keeping a proper balance of moisture and dryness in the crawl space prevents foundation issues. 

Our team of foundation professionals is here to fulfill your crawl space encapsulation needs. Call today for your free estimate. 

Rainfall and snow in Topeka can be a breeding ground for moisture in your crawl space. Your home may be built on an area of land in which ground moisture is very high.  As a result, your land may experience more moisture under your home than most homes.  One way to get moisture under control in a crawl space is to install a vapor barrier that minimizes or eliminates the evaporation of ground moisture.  This evaporation is a huge factor in developing wood rot, mold, and other issues that cause foundation problems. Vapor barriers are usually made of an almost indestructible plastic, which minimizes the moisture and protects the wood in your crawl space. 

Don’t hesitate to call us about your Topeka crawl space.  Our team of professionals is on standby, waiting to inspect and install a vapor barrier for your crawl space. 

Some homeowners attempt crawl space repair on their own, but this is not advisable.  It can be hazardous to your health due to the types of fungus and mold present.  You may also not properly clean and protect the crawl space the way it needs to be done.  Topeka Foundation Repair and Waterproofing ensure top quality crawl space repair to protect your home’s foundation.  Our crawl space repair not only preserves the home, but it helps improve the efficiency of the home's energy and the air quality.  Do you want to adequately protect your family’s health, your home’s foundation and save on energy bills?
