CRAWL SPACE REPAIR & ENCAPSULATION

Out of sight shouldn't mean out of mind. Your crawl space affects your entire home—from air quality to energy bills to structural integrity. We make it right.

Finger Lakes Foundation Repair provides complete crawl space solutions including encapsulation, vapor barriers, structural repairs, and dehumidification. Best for homeowners with moisture problems, sagging floors, or musty odors. Free inspections available.

The Hidden Problem

YOUR CRAWL SPACE AFFECTS YOUR WHOLE HOME.

Most homeowners never go into their crawl space—and that's a problem. Moisture, mold, pests, and structural issues often develop unnoticed until they cause problems upstairs.

In the Finger Lakes, our damp climate and clay soils create perfect conditions for crawl space moisture problems. Ground moisture vapor rises constantly, and humid summer air condenses on cooler surfaces.

The "stack effect" means air from your crawl space rises into your living areas. If that air is damp and moldy, you're breathing it every day.

Signs of Crawl Space Problems:

  • Musty odors in your home
  • Floors that feel bouncy or sag
  • High humidity levels in living areas
  • Allergy symptoms that worsen at home
  • Cold floors in winter
  • Pest or rodent activity
  • Standing water or wet soil in crawl space
Our Solutions

COMPLETE CRAWL SPACE SOLUTIONS.

From simple moisture control to complete encapsulation and structural repair, we have solutions for every crawl space problem.

Crawl Space Encapsulation

The gold standard for crawl space protection. We seal your crawl space completely with heavy-duty vapor barrier on floors and walls, seal vents and openings, and install dehumidification.

  • 20-mil reinforced vapor barrier
  • Complete moisture elimination
  • Energy efficiency improvements

Vapor Barriers

A more affordable option for basic moisture control. We install professional-grade vapor barrier on your crawl space floor to block ground moisture from entering.

  • Blocks ground moisture
  • Cost-effective solution
  • Quick installation

Dehumidification

Commercial-grade dehumidifiers designed for crawl spaces actively remove moisture from the air, maintaining optimal humidity levels year-round.

  • Automatic humidity control
  • Self-draining systems
  • Energy-efficient operation

Structural Supports

Sagging floors and weakened joists need structural support. We install adjustable steel jack posts and sister joists to restore your floor's integrity.

  • Adjustable steel posts
  • Joist repair and sistering
  • Beam reinforcement

Crawl Space Drainage

Standing water requires active removal. We install drainage channels and sump pumps designed specifically for crawl space applications.

  • Perimeter drainage systems
  • Low-profile sump pumps
  • Battery backup available

Insulation

Proper crawl space insulation improves energy efficiency and comfort. We install wall insulation in encapsulated spaces for maximum performance.

  • Closed-cell spray foam
  • Rigid foam board options
  • Lower energy bills
