Crawl Space Repair

in Portland OR and Vancouver WA areas

Crawl Space Contractors

Many homes and businesses don’t have a full basement but instead, are built to rest on top of a crawl space. This area underneath a building is typically a dark and damp area, sometimes harboring elements that can directly affect the quality of the air you breathe. Our crawl space contractors at Masonry Waterproofing, and Drainage Masters can fully inspect, diagnose problems, and recommend affordable repairs.

Vapor Barrier Replacement

Under a home or building, the crawl space vapor barrier is laid over the soil to keep moisture from infiltrating the area under your home or business. The material is typically made of a thick plastic that is both durable and affordable to install. Your crawl space will stay cleaner, and the air will contain less of the dirt, mold, germs, and bacteria that can grow in dark, damp places. The air drawn into the building through the HVAC system will be healthier to breathe. A quality crawl space vapor barrier also reduces the chances of moisture damage to the your homes structure and interior.

Types of Crawl Space Repair

Most crawl space areas are compact and you might wonder what types of repairs are necessary. The walls are typically made of concrete, masonry, or stone and our crawl space repair experts are able to fix all types of materials. The interior and exterior walls need to stay in good repair to keep water infiltration at bay. We offer crawl space repair services like:

• Crack and collapse repair
• Crawl space ventilation
• Vapor protection

Interior Wall Repair for Your Crawl Space

The interior walls of your crawl space are an important part of your structure because any damage directly impacts the overall strength of your building. If water flows into your crawl space, your home or business can develop issues with mold and mildew, or even significant water damage. Cracks and collapses could also leave your space structurally unsound, which could lead to a complete floor collapse. If you have cracks or problems with your crawl space interior walls, you should seek immediate and professional help.

Exterior Wall Repair for Your Crawl Space

Cracks can happen along your exterior crawl space walls due to uneven settling, soil erosion, and earthquakes. General deterioration of the exterior walls can happen from weather-related damage, aging, poor construction materials, negative grade or bad drainage, like down spouts, next to the foundation. Problems with exterior crawl space walls can lead to extensive damage to the entire building if left in disrepair. Professionals can help create a customized solution that will not only fix current damage but also prevent long-term issues.
