Crawl Space Services
If your house sits over a crawl space anywhere around metro Atlanta, odds are we've been under one just like it this week. The red clay down here holds water, our summers run humid for months, and a lot of these homes went up before anyone thought much about the air under your floors. That air doesn't stay put — it works its way into the rooms you live in. We seal crawl spaces, dry them out, and repair what the moisture already got to. And we tell you straight what your crawl space actually needs, not whatever runs up the invoice.
Crawl spaces, the straight version
Crawl space encapsulation seals your crawl space off from the ground and outside air. We line the floor and walls with a heavy vapor barrier, close up the vents and gaps, and add a dehumidifier sized for the space so humidity stays in check year-round. The result is a dry, sealed area under your house instead of an open dirt pit feeding moisture into your floors.
Done right, it's the fix for chronic dampness, musty smells, and the wood rot and high energy bills that come with them.
You usually don't see the problem — you smell it or feel it. It's worth a look if you've noticed any of these:
Any one of these is worth an inspection. We go under, take photos, and show you what's actually happening. We don't guess from the driveway.
Here's the part a lot of companies skip: encapsulation is a moisture fix, not a water fix. If water is actively pooling under your house after a hard rain, wrapping it in plastic just traps the water against your foundation.
When we find active water, we deal with the water first — drainage, a sump pump, grading — then encapsulate. If the damage runs into the framing, that's structural repair territory, and if water has made it into a basement we handle that too on our basement waterproofing side. If somebody quotes you encapsulation for a crawl space that's clearly taking on water, get a second opinion. We'd rather lose the upsell than seal a problem in.
Our red clay soil doesn't drain like sandy soil does — it holds water against your foundation and pushes moisture up through the ground for days after a storm. Add the long humid stretch from May through September and you've got a crawl space that stays damp far longer than the national how-to articles assume.
Then there's the housing stock. Homes in places like Grant Park, Kirkwood, Decatur, and a lot of Marietta went up decades ago, often with open vented crawl spaces and whatever vapor barrier was standard at the time, if any. What worked in 1965 is part of why your floors feel the way they do now. We've spent enough time under Atlanta-area homes to know what your particular era and neighborhood tend to hide.
Most crawl space encapsulations in metro Atlanta run about $5 to $7 per square foot, depending on the size of the crawl space, how easy it is to get under there, whether there's existing damage to repair, and what kind of dehumidifier and drainage the space needs. The free inspection confirms the exact scope before you commit to anything.
We publish ranges instead of hiding behind "call for a quote" because you deserve to know roughly where you stand before anyone walks your house.
How It Works
We keep the process simple and transparent so you know exactly what to expect before anyone starts work.
We evaluate the crawlspace or basement and document what we find with photos and moisture readings.
We review moisture levels, drainage, and structural integrity to understand the full picture.
You receive a practical proposal tailored to your property. No jargon, no pressure, no surprises.
Our team performs the work and walks you through the result so you see exactly what was done and why.
What We Do
The full range of moisture control and structural work for crawl spaces across Metro Atlanta.
The full system — heavy vapor barrier on the ground and walls, sealed vents, drainage tie-ins, and a properly sized dehumidifier to hold the humidity down. This is the one that solves chronic moisture, odor, and air-quality problems for good. Typical encapsulation runs $5 to $7 per square foot; the inspection confirms the exact scope.
A heavy-duty barrier that blocks ground moisture from rising into the wood and air under your home. It's the foundation of moisture control — and it's a real install job with sealed seams and proper coverage, not a roll of plastic tossed on the dirt.
When you've got active water coming in — not just damp air — sealing alone won't cut it. We add interior drainage and a sump system to move the water out and keep it out, then encapsulate over a space that's actually dry.
Insulation under your floors helps regulate temperature and cut HVAC strain. We assess what's there, pull out damaged or ineffective material, and install insulation that works alongside encapsulation so floors stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Moisture takes a toll: rotted joists, sagging floors, failing supports. We repair and reinforce the structure — joist work, support jacks, steel beams and concrete footings where the load calls for it — so the fix holds. Bigger settlement issues roll into our foundation work.
Damp crawl spaces draw termites and critters. We repair the wood termites got to and seal the space up tight — vents, gaps, and crawl space doors — so nothing gets back in. We don't do the pest treatment itself; we fix the damage and coordinate with your treatment plan.

Homeowner Proof
Extremely happy and grateful for the service I received. They came out the same day I called for an estimate and provided it right away. I loved the entire experience, and would definitely recommend them and use them again.
