Our Moisture Control Services
We offer two proven moisture control solutions, which we tailor to every customer who puts their trust in us.
Vapor Barrier Installation
We install heavy-duty plastic sheeting across crawlspaces to prevent moisture and water vapor in the soil from entering them. This creates a protective barrier that reduces humidity, discourages pest activity, and helps prevent mold growth.
Vapor barriers are an excellent solution for homeowners looking to address moisture issues coming primarily from the ground. This service is more budget-friendly than full encapsulation, but it still delivers meaningful protection against excess moisture.
The Benefits of Moisture Control
Investing in professional moisture control delivers numerous benefits, from protecting your property to supporting your family’s well-being. We offer more details below.
Healthier Indoor Air Quality
When moisture accumulates below your home, it can create ideal conditions for mold and mildew growth. These contaminants release spores and musty odors that circulate throughout your living spaces, potentially causing respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems. Moisture control stops this cycle at its source and gives you greater peace of mind about the air your family breathes.
Protection from Structural Damage
Moisture causes wood beams, floor joists, and other structural components to rot and deteriorate. By controlling moisture, you can preserve the strength and stability of your home's foundation and avoid costly repairs later on.
Pest Prevention
Damp crawlspaces attract termites, carpenter ants, cockroaches, rodents, and other pests that thrive in moist environments. Moisture control makes your crawlspace far less appealing to these unwanted invaders, reducing your risk of infestations and supporting the effectiveness of our pest control services for more than 170 different pests.
Lower Energy Bills
Excess moisture makes your heating and cooling systems work harder to maintain comfortable temperatures. A properly sealed crawlspace improves your home's energy efficiency, which translates to lower utility costs throughout the year.
Increased Home Value
A dry, properly maintained crawlspace is an attractive feature for potential buyers. It demonstrates that your home has been well-maintained and that they won't inherit moisture-related problems, which can be especially important during real estate transactions that may also require termite and moisture reports.
Prevention of Floor Damage
Moisture rising from below can cause hardwood floors to warp, buckle, and deteriorate. It can also damage carpet, tile, and other flooring materials. Moisture control protects your flooring investment from underneath.

-
Most homeowners benefit from quarterly treatments, but homes with severe infestations may need monthly service.

Yes. We use EPA-approved products and apply them so they are safe for families and pets once dry.

While using an over-the-counter product may help stop a current pest problem, it will not help prevent against pest problems in the future. If you are not experienced in pesticides, applying treatment on your own can be very unsafe for kids, pets, or even adults if not handled properly. Also, in most cases, pests will return unless you take the appropriate measures to prevent them. In as little as 30 days you can start to notice new infestations if not treated properly.
