Do You Have a Wet or Musty Smelling Crawl Space?
If so, you should consider taking action. Did you know that over 40% of the air that you breathe on the first floor of the home comes from the basement or crawl space? Because of this, crawl space waterproofing and encapsulation is essential to your family’s health.
A crawl space is essentially a small basement. In homes with crawl spaces, the living area is so close to the crawl space that moisture and unsafe air infiltrate the home, causing potential health hazards.

Common Crawl Space Problems
Groundwater Intrusion
In a perfect world, crawl spaces would have built-in drainage systems, or they would be at least properly graded to prevent water from pooling in the space. Often, however, that is not the case, and groundwater puddles in the crawl space are always bad news.
Floodbusters Basements offers the most advanced drainage solutions for your crawl space.
High Humidity
Why are crawl spaces so prone to moisture? Well, it has to do with the very way they are built. The dirt floor in crawl spaces simply allow water to evaporate in the space, and the crawl space vents, originally thought to allow moisture to dry, are aggravating the problem by allowing humid outside air in.
Our advanced crawl space encapsulation system is designed to effectively address all sources of moisture.
Mold, Odors & Structural Decay
Every environment where Relative Humidity is at or above 60% is a breeding ground for mold and dry rot. Crawl spaces are notorious for having serious moisture problems that cannot be solved with vents, crawl space vent fans and a thin plastic sheet on the floor to serve as a vapor barrier.
Floodbusters Basements’ crawl space solutions are based on the most recent building science recommendations.
