Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation in Houston, TX

Review Logo 4.8 (180)

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 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.
