More About Costs & Savings With Crawl Space Repair
In an ideal world, you'll never have to repair your crawl space. When that's not possible, you'll want the next best option -- to repair it once and never have to worry about it again.
Unfortunately, many of the crawl space liner systems available on the market these days are made with a thin, flimsy material that quickly punctures and tears underfoot as service workers access the space. Other vapor barriers are installed improperly, lining the floor but not the wall, or are installed without addressing groundwater flooding within the space.
Investing in long-lasting, durable products (such as a durable 20-mil liner, or a cast-iron submersible sump pump) are vital steps towards that goal. Your crawl space system will last for decades, and you can rest easy.
Below, we've listed three questions to consider before repairing or upgrading your crawl space:
How Much Will It Cost?
Crawl space repair is a home improvement investment that pays for itself many times over through the restored value of your home. Sealing your crawl space from outside air saves you significantly on utility costs, while creating a healthier, more comfortable home.
Like all other home improvements, repairing a crawl space costs money. And like all other home improvements, several factors will influence the total cost of the job.
As part of our free estimate, our crawl space experts will inspect and measure the space, answer any questions you have, and work with you to create a cost-effective solution that meets every goal you've set out.

Are Energy Efficiency Upgrades Worth It?
Your crawl space is home to many things that are best kept in a warmer environment -- including your furnace, air ducts, water heater, and hot water pipes. A cold crawl space will also affect the floor above, making it feel cold and uncomfortable underfoot.
However, fiberglass insulation in a crawl space is a source of repeated failure and grief for homeowners, and spray foam insulation is extremely expensive to install. So what options are there?
We have innovative solutions for homeowners who seek a cost-effective solution to insulating their crawl space that install quickly and double as a vapor barrier system!
