Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation in Cedar Falls, IA

Review Logo 4.8 (468)

The moisture retention capabilities of these soils mean that they expand when wet and contract when dry, creating instability in your crawl space. Given Cedar Falls' propensity for heavy rainfall, especially in the spring, ensuring your crawl space is properly encapsulated is essential to prevent mold, mildew, and other water damage problems that can threaten your home's structure.

"We asked Foundation Recovery Systems to come and do an inspection of our basement because we knew we were having foundation issues. They sent Chris Vanderpool, who helped us understand everything that was going on and took the extra time to stop and answer questions — he even got his hands dirty to help us get more important answers. He did not pressure us, and he gave us a very reasonable window to decide if we’re going to proceed with FRS for their services."

Common Causes of your Crawl Space Problems in Cedar Falls

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.
