Crawlspace Remediation & Encapsulation in Morehead, KY

Crawlspaces in Morehead can develop standing water, high humidity, condensation, damaged vapor barriers, musty odors and microbial growth. Correcting the problem often requires more than simply covering the soil. The first priority is identifying how water and moisture are entering the crawlspace.

Crawlspace Remediation Before Encapsulation

When a crawlspace contains standing water or visible contamination, cleanup and drying may be needed before encapsulation. Phoenix provides crawlspace remediation that can include water removal, debris removal, HEPA cleaning, treatment of affected framing and moisture-control recommendations based on the conditions found.

Crawlspace Encapsulation and Moisture Control

After the crawlspace is clean and dry enough for the next phase, crawlspace encapsulation can help separate the structure from ground moisture. A complete moisture-control plan may also involve drainage, sealed vapor barrier seams, wall coverage, dehumidification and management of exterior water around the foundation.

• Flooded crawlspace water extraction

• Mold and microbial remediation

• Damaged vapor barrier removal

• Heavy-duty vapor barrier installation

• Drainage and water-management recommendations

• Crawlspace dehumidification

• Moisture monitoring

When Drainage Is Part of the Problem

If rainwater, groundwater or poor drainage is repeatedly entering the structure, review our basement and foundation waterproofing solutions. Managing exterior and subsurface water can be just as important as controlling humidity inside the crawlspace.
