Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation in Houston, TX

Review Logo 4.8 (204)

Houston's high annual rainfall and year-round humidity put any homes built on a crawl space foundation at risk for damage. When humidity gets into your crawl space, it can lead to many problems such as wood rot, mold, or sagging floors. Water absorbed by soil under the crawl space also causes the same problems. Over time, water in the soil evaporates and the vapor becomes trapped below your home. Once these problem signs occur in your home, they only get worse without crawl space solutions. Thankfully, FSS offers thorough crawl space encapsulation that will keep all moisture out of your crawl space. This includes the use of vapor barriers, dehumidifiers, and vent covers for industry-leading moisture protection.

Foundation repair requires a deep understanding of the local soil and environmental factors that can impact a home's foundation. Texas is known for its expansive clay soils, which can experience significant swelling and shrinking due to moisture fluctuations. This soil movement often leads to foundation issues that require specialized knowledge and experience to address effectively.

Common Causes of your Crawl Space Problems in Houston

Moisture and Humidity

Excess moisture in your crawl space can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and structural damage over time.

Groundwater Seepage

Poor drainage or leaking pipes can lead to standing water in your crawl space, potentially causing mold growth and compromising structural integrity.

Poor Ventilation

Open vents in your crawl space allow humid air to enter, leading to condensation, mold, and long-term moisture damage.

Pest Infestations

Damp or unsealed crawl spaces create an inviting environment for rodents, termites, and other pests, leading to structural damage and contamination.

Soil Settlement

Shifting soil beneath your home can lead to foundation settlement, causing sagging floors and damage to crawl space supports.

Foundation Cracks

Cracks in crawl space foundation walls allow water, pests, and unconditioned air to enter, causing moisture and structural issues.

High Energy Bills

Poorly sealed or damaged crawl spaces can increase heating and cooling costs due to energy loss.

Stack Effect

Damage in your crawl space allows mold and odors to spread into your home. Repairing the crawl space prevents this, improving your air quality and living environment.

Climate Conditions

Heavy rains or drought can shift the soil beneath your home, leading to sagging floors or structural damage in your crawl space. Repairing these issues restores stability and protects your home from further problems.
