Controlling Water Seepage in Bristol, TN Crawl Spaces

Bristol, TN is a city in Sullivan County, and has a population of around 26,702. It's the twin city of Bristol, VA which lies directly across the state line. This area is best known for some of the first commercial recordings of country music, and for being the birthplace of Tennessee Ernie Ford. If you live in this area, you know how much moisture you have to deal with throughout the spring and summer months of the year - and even during the fall!

Briston, TN homeowners often have problems with water seepage in their crawl spaces. Moisture can get into this area of your home if it's not properly sealed off. When you have a sealed crawl space, moisture, humidity, and critters aren't able to get inside and cause problems.

How to Fix Water Seepage in Crawl Spaces 

Depending on how your crawl space was built, it may have concrete flooring which could help with controlling water seepage, but there are some homes with unfinished crawl spaces that can cause more moisture than its concrete counterparts. The first thing that will need to be done is to track down the source of the moisture. How is it getting inside? How much moisture is there typically underneath your home?

Once you detect the source, you should then have the wood surfaces of your crawl space inspected for mold or mildew by a Seal-Tite professional. Depending on how serious the damage may be, you can have it cleaned off or replaced. This can be difficult to do on your own, so it's best to let the experts help.

Once your CS has been repaired, we can then install our encapsulation system which includes a vapor barrier, floor liners, sump pumps, dehumidifiers, and more. Never again will you need to worry about moisture in this area below your home.

The peace of mind that comes with a worry-free crawl space should not be ignored! If you have water seepage in your crawl space and need immediate help, call us today.
