What We Do
50% of the air you breathe in your home originates from the crawl space and basement levels of your home. A crawl space with a dirt odor can promote rot and mold growth, and degrade the quality of the air you and your family breathe in the home. A crawlspace encapsulation system turns your damp crawl space into a dry place.
Problems from a damp crawlspace include:
Risk of mold growth
Termites and other wood-destroying organisms
High heating and cooling costs
Condensation on windows, ductwork, and structural members of the space

Our Crawl Space Remediation Process
At Un-Flood-It, we follow a meticulous process to ensure the highest quality of crawl space remediation. From thorough initial inspections to final checks, our detailed approach guarantees that all issues are identified and effectively addressed. This systematic process ensures long-lasting solutions and your complete satisfaction.
1) Comprehensive Crawlspace Inspection: We perform a detailed inspection of the crawlspace, including measurements, to provide accurate cost estimates.
2) Address Mold Issues: If mold is present, remediation must be the first step. (A 3rd-party mold test and assessment is highly recommended.)
3) Install Drainage Matting: Our team installs a drainage mat (also called a dimple mat) on the crawlspace floor to protect the liner from punctures. It also provides a future pathway for airflow if a radon mitigation system needs to be added.
4) Seal Cracks and Air Infiltration: We use green caulk and foam to seal cracks and voids, preventing exterior air infiltration. (Special attention is given to occupants with CIRS or chemical sensitivities.)
5) Upgrade Insulation: We add a carbon-infused insulation board or insulation blanket to the crawlspace walls to achieve an R10 insulation value. Then we install rock wool insulation around the sill plate perimeter. (Adjustments may vary based on building codes.)
6) Encapsulate the Crawlspace: Our team applies a 90-mil thick encapsulation liner to the floor and extend it at least Our team installs a 90+ mil thick encapsulation liner to the floor and extend it at least 12" up the 12 inches up the perimeter walls.
7) Control Humidity Levels: We install a properly sized commercial-grade AprilAire dehumidifier to maintain a consistent year-round relative humidity level of 55% or less.
If the crawlspace will need a french drain and sump pump, we will recommend a plumbing company who can properly install these types of systems. Our crawlspace system can also be used in-conjunction with a radon mitigation system/fan.

Mold can pose serious health risks and damage your home's structure. Our professional mold removal services ensure thorough remediation, using safe and effective methods to eliminate mold and prevent future growth. We address the source of moisture to provide a long-term solution.

By maintaining optimal humidity, crawl space dehumidification also supports energy efficiency and extends the life of your insulation, HVAC system, and flooring above.
