Reliable Repair Solutions for Your Shreveport Crawl Space

We prioritize your crawl space in Shreveport because when they are damaged or compromised in any way, they can seriously affect the rest of your home. Nobody wants a musty, moldy crawl space that harbors water-attracted insects and vermin. Cracks in your crawl space can cause leaks, and leaks lead to damage. Did you know that your crawl space can be used for dry storage? The keyword here is "dry".

Our foundation team has an arsenal of treatment options for making and keeping crawl spaces working properly. If you think you have a problem with your crawl space, please call our team today at Shreveport Foundation Repair Specialists for a no-obligation, FREE inspection.

Your house is a system, and the crawl space is just one of its many parts. When the crawl space rots, grows mold or shows signs of structural decomposition, it can affect the rest of your house, including the basement and foundation.

The only way to know if you have a crawl space problem is by hiring a professional company like ours to inspect the area thoroughly. We will look for cracks, leaks, vermin, and mildew and determine how these issues started in the first place.

Once our assessment is complete, we'll sit down with you and discuss the findings and our suggested treatment plan. Remember, our Shreveport crawl space inspections are entirely free of charge. So you have nothing to lose by obtaining one. Are you ready to schedule?

Crawl space encapsulation in Shreveport involves completely sealing the area off with a heavy-duty polyethylene barrier. The entire crawl space will be encapsulated with the barrier material, including closing off the entrance. Once the barrier is in place, the pieces are sealed together to form a water-tight mechanism. Benefits of encapsulation include:

•  Reduced chances of water entering the crawl space, especially during storms
• Eradicates mold, mildew, and spore growth due to moisture
• Stops allergens from circulating up into your home
• Stops small pests like mice and insects from calling your crawl space home

If crawl space encapsulation sounds like a service that you would benefit from, we invite you to call our office today. Our technicians can further enlighten you on the pros and cons of encapsulation. You can also visit our blog for more info.

Installing a vapor barrier system in your crawl space is much like encapsulation, but you have the option to leave the area open so it can be used for storage. During the process, a heavy-tarp-like material is installed around the crawl space to act as a sealant for moisture. This treatment is highly effective, especially when coupled with a dehumidifier.

Many homeowners opt for the vapor barrier method because it gives them more options than straight-up encapsulation. Vapor barriers also keep mold, mildew, noxious odors, and vermin from entering your crawl space and home. Do you feel a vapor barrier system is right for you? Get in touch with our staff and let us know what you're looking for.
