Your Crawl Space Vents Need to Be Sealed
If your crawl space has open vents, chances are you may have a moisture problem on your hands.
In years past, building contractors believed that vents circulated air throughout the crawl space, but recent studies have found that they cause moisture and pest problems.
Outside moisture infiltrating your crawl space breeds mold and mildew, resulting in poor indoor air quality, and it lets in pests.
So, if your crawl space vents aren’t sealed, it may be time to call AquaGuard.

Raymond and George were awesome. We met and discusssed the project which was to fill a void under my driveway created by erosion. They have the experience to know where to fill and how much without lifting the drive. They listened and performed flawlessly. Justin, our engineer and sales rep took a few hours with me to completely outline and price our job in order to be sure to eliminate the possibility of any future issues. Great team. Extremely pleased and confident the the job was done perfectly. Thanks Guys

Our retaining wall that holds the driveway and brick wall on one side of house cracked. There're also major cracks on concrete floor on our front porch. We contacted AquaGuard Foundation Solutions to see if they could help with those issues. They came to give estimate in a timely manner. Zach came to inspect our house and suggested to have 7 steel piers installed under one side of the house that showed cracks and poly-foam fill under the concrete floor on the front porch. About a week later, Tim and Davon came to do the pier installation. Upon the installation, I asked them if the crack on the retaining wall was normal and how steer piers would help with the situation. They answered my questions professionally and suggested that in this situation they would rather do helical piers in the retaining wall area instead of putting steel piers which would sit under the cinder block base and could damage the integrity of the retaining wall and driveway. We agreed with the idea of putting helical piers in the retaining wall area. Tim made all the necessary phone calls and had our contract/estimate adjusted. Tim and Davon were super friendly and easy to talk to. They finished the job in a timely manner. However AquaGuard couldn't do anything with the cracked concrete on the front porch as a gap between the soil base and concrete floor was too large. The foundation repair also comes with a 1-year inspection. Thanks AquaGuard.

Kurt, Samarte, and Chris D did an excellent job, very professional. They kept us informed of everything that they were doing. Answered all of our questions ( we had a bunch ), and never once got irritated with us. I would recommend AquaGuard for all of your basement, crawl spaces, or gutter ( which we'll be getting ) services. If I could give more than a 5 star I would.

We had a very good experience with Aquaguard foundation solutions! Will was very responsive and was able to get us scheduled right away, also answered any questions that we had about the job and what to expect. We have a terrace level crawlspace, which had some moisture in it and discovered black mold between the wall in the floor. Will was able to immediately identify the solution. Joseph. Dyllen and Corey arrived on time the day of the job, worked very diligently to install the foundation drain system and sump pump. It was pretty much an all day job with a crew of three and in the end explained the whole system to us when they were finished. I would highly recommend them for any water intrusion projects!

Is Crawl Space Encapsulation the Right Solution for Me?
Since your crawl space isn’t a place you regularly visit, damage and mold-growth can go unnoticed. But if you inspect your crawl space and you do find damage, then crawl space encapsulation is the only solution.
AquaGuard’s comprehensive encapsulation repairs, cleans, dries, and protects your crawl space (and your entire home!). It also makes your crawl space usable for storage. Crawl space encapsulation improves your overall air quality and makes your home more energy-efficient.
AquaGuard has over two decades of experience in engineering superior crawl space solutions for your home. Our 20-mil thick vapor barrier, combined with our state-of-the-art sump pumps, dehumidifiers, and interior drainage systems will ensure your home is protected against any moisture that tries to find its way in.
FAQs
Installing a dehumidifier is a crucial part in controlling crawl space moisture. A dehumidifier alone won’t fix all crawl space water and moisture issues, but in conjunction with a crawl space moisture barrier, a dehumidifier can ensure your crawl space is protected from mold damage.
A moisture barrier, sometimes referred to as a vapor barrier, is just part of a complete crawl space encapsulation system. It is a durable liner used to prevent moisture from entering through exposed dirt floors and walls. Our crawl space moisture barrier is a crisp white, 20-mil, 7-layer poly-reinforced liner and is mold resistant, giving you the opportunity to transform your crawl space into usable storage space.
Crawl space encapsulation refers to the process of waterproofing, insulating, sealing, and conditioning the crawl space to eliminate moisture and high humidity issues. The combination of installing an effective drainage system, insulating the crawl space, sealing floors and walls, and adequately dehumidifying the air not only prevents groundwater or wall moisture from entering the crawl space, but it also regulates crawl space humidity and temperature, often making it the most regulated and climate-controlled area in your home!
Though most crawl spaces are seldom used, a wet crawl space could mean problems for the floors above. It’s important to manage crawl space moisture levels to prevent rotting wood, mold growth, high humidity, pests, and other symptoms of a wet crawl space. Luckily, this is easy thanks to a number of crawl space repair and waterproofing solutions provided by AquaGuard Foundation Solutions.

Why You Need to Repair Your Home’s Crawl Space
If your home has open crawl space vents or deteriorating waterproofing measures, then you probably have some problems developing in there. To protect your entire home, you need to make sure your crawl space stays dry and clean. In no uncertain terms, crawl space encapsulation protects you from the following problems:
Water Damage
Water damage can lead to mold growth, dry rot on your floor joists, and elevated humidity in your home. The first thing we do as waterproofing professionals is repair any prior moisture damage in your crawl space.
Mold and Mildew Growth
If mold and mildew are in your crawl space, we remediate it. Why? Because mold, especially black mold, can harm your respiratory health. If family members have conditions like asthma, then it can be particularly awful.
Remediating mold and outfitting your crawl space with a vapor barrier and dehumidifier will control the humidity in your home and make it a healthier space.
You can literally breathe easy.
Deterioration
Encapsulation products have a point when they become ineffective. This is natural, but it can harm your home if left unaddressed. It’s important to inspect your crawl space regularly for wear and tear.
If your crawl space waterproofing measures are failing, call AquaGuard today for a free quote on repairs.
Common Crawl Space Repair and Encapsulation Tips & Mistakes
Over the years, we have heard many myths about crawl space encapsulation. It’s important to consult a professional to determine the best solutions for your home. Here are some helpful tips and mistakes to avoid when considering crawl space repair.
General Crawl Space Encapsulation Tips
- You Need More than a Vapor Barrier: Your crawl space should be encapsulated with a high-quality vapor barrier, but if that’s all you have, then intruding moisture can still cause mold growth. Combine a vapor barrier with an energy-efficient, self-draining dehumidifier and other precautions to control humidity levels.
- Lower Your Energy Bills: Repairing and encapsulating your crawl space reduces your energy bills. During both summer and winter, your HVAC systems (which are usually located in your crawl space) go into overdrive trying to balance against extreme temperatures. Crawl space insulation and encapsulation reduces the strain on your system, saving you cash.
- Seal Your Crawl Space Vents: We can’t stress this enough. Vented crawl spaces allow moisture and pests to enter freely, leading to all sorts of damage and potential health problems. Seal open crawl space vents with durable, airtight covers.
Crawl Space Encapsulation Myths
- Not All Sump Pumps Are Created Equal: Installing a sump pump in your crawl space is a great step towards protecting it from water damage, but not all are alike. Some sump pumps run off your home’s electricity, so a power failure makes it useless. Install a battery-powered backup sump pump to protect your home if something happens.
- Don’t DIY: While there are many home repair projects that you can DIY, crawl space repair and encapsulation isn’t one of them. Servicing your own crawl space can worsen existing damage. And although many big box retail stores offer crawl space solutions, they’re not always up to professional standards. Leverage the know-how and resources of local professionals, like AquaGuard, who can back up their work with our long-term warranties.
