Our Crawl Space Repair in Central & South Texas
The state and health of your home rely on the condition of your crawl space. Thankfully, the Foundation Support Specialists team is here to help you identify the early problem signs and implement the most effective crawl space repair solutions for your home in San Antonio and the surrounding area.
Crawl Space Vent Covers & Access Doors
The construction industry used to think that crawl space vents were necessary to promote air circulation and prevent the air from becoming stagnant. While vents encourage air circulation, we have since determined that the intended result is far from the actual one. Open vents and access holes allow damage-causing moisture, pests, and critters rather than preventing them. As such, if you have open vents, the quickest and easiest way to improve the state of your crawl space is to install vent covers and access doors.
Dehumidifiers
Although Central and South Texas isn’t the wettest place, the average rainfall exceeds the national average. Rainfall promotes humidity, and humidity has the potential to cause extensive damage to a crawl space and the structural integrity of your home. Excess moisture is one of the most common crawl space problem signs we encounter, which is why we provide dehumidifier sales and installations. A dehumidifier regulates the humidity level in your crawl space to prevent structural flaws, mold, and mildew growth.
Crawl Space Moisture Barrier & Encapsulation in San Antonio
In our more than 20 years of experience, we have found moisture barriers and encapsulations to be the most effective methods to prevent damage-causing moisture from entering a crawl space. For encapsulations, we install a barrier on the walls and floor of your crawl space, preventing most moisture from entering. If some still makes its way in, a moisture barrier will ensure it can’t enter your home and weaken the R-value of your insulation in the process. These two methods can be combined with a dehumidifier for maximum protection.

Crawl Space Repair You Need
When your crawl space is in bad condition, it is only a matter of time before the inside of your house reflects it. Crawl space problem signs typically present themselves in the form of structural flaws or harmful mold and mildew growth. Neither of these things should be taken lightly because they both present legitimate hazards to the health of your home and the people who live there.
