Damp conditions and elevated humidity inside the crawlspace.
Visible growth or conditions that may allow mold and mildew to develop.
Insulation, wood and other materials showing signs of moisture exposure or deterioration.
Outside air and moisture entering through openings that have not been properly sealed.
Water entering or collecting beneath the home that may require additional moisture-control or drainage solutions.
Every crawlspace is different. Before recommending a solution, Krawl Dawgz gets underneath the home and looks at the conditions that are actually there.
That means looking beyond what can be seen from the crawlspace entrance. Moisture and humidity readings, ventilation and openings, insulation, wood and subfloor conditions, visible growth and other problem areas can help tell the story of what's happening beneath the home.
Get underneath the home and evaluate the crawlspace conditions.
Look for the source and extent of moisture, humidity, deterioration and other concerns.
Explain the findings and recommend a solution based on the property's actual needs.
Encapsulation isn't about covering the ground and calling it finished. When the conditions call for a full crawlspace system, Krawl Dawgz can address the existing environment, seal the space and install the components needed to help control moisture and humidity beneath the home.
Existing debris and materials are removed as needed so the crawlspace can be properly prepared for the work ahead.
Existing mold and mildew conditions can be treated as part of preparing the crawlspace for the new system.
Crawlspace vents and applicable openings can be sealed to help separate the conditioned crawlspace environment from outside air.
A heavy-duty vapor barrier can be installed across the crawlspace floor as part of the encapsulation system.
Columns and piers can be wrapped and integrated into the vapor-barrier system for a cleaner, more complete installation.
A properly sized dehumidifier can be installed to help manage humidity inside the encapsulated crawlspace.
Wall insulation barrier and rim-joist insulation can be incorporated where appropriate for the project.
A crawlspace door can be installed as part of completing and sealing the system where included in the project.
Krawl Dawgz recommends crawlspace components based on the conditions found during the inspection and the scope of the individual project.
A wet crawlspace isn't always just a crawlspace problem. Water can enter or collect beneath a home for different reasons, which is why Krawl Dawgz looks at the conditions around and underneath the property before determining the right approach.
When drainage or water intrusion is contributing to the problem, moisture-control solutions may need to work alongside crawlspace repair or encapsulation.
Solutions such as French drains or other drainage improvements may be recommended when water needs to be redirected away from problem areas.
Sump pump systems may be incorporated where appropriate to help manage water that reaches or collects beneath the home.
Exterior grading, swales or related improvements may be considered when the way water moves around the property is contributing to moisture beneath the home.
Work is documented throughout the installation process.
Customers receive a photo album of the completed job.
A certificate of completion is provided when the work is finished.
Every crawlspace tells a different story. Here's a look at the conditions, craftsmanship and completed work behind the Krawl Dawgz name.
