Crawl Space Humidity
Maintaining humidity levels in your crawl space can help to prevent unfavorable and unhealthy conditions below your home. When this area is not properly sealed off from the outside environment, excessive humidity and moisture can get inside and cause problems.
Warning Signs of a Problem
- Home smells musty on the first and second floor.
- First level of the home feels un-level or as if it is sagging in spots.
- Noticeable mold can be seen growing on wooden supports and floor joists when doing a visual inspection beneath the home.

Dangers of High Humidity Levels
Too much moisture in the air can lead to the development of harmful mold and bacteria beneath your home. This is a dark green or black fungus which can cause a variety of serious health problems, including: respiratory problems, asthma attacks, skin rashes, eye irritation, allergies, headaches, fatigue, cold/flu-like symptoms, and other serious medical conditions. Additionally, it can weaken wooden materials beneath the home and eventually jeopardize its structural integrity. This, in turn, will significantly lower the value of the property.
Dehumidifiers

Testimonials
Basement waterproofing
I own a 100 year old 2 family in St Louis city and the basement leaked a bunch when it rained. After getting 5 estimates and talking to several numbers we decided to use you for the great references, quality reputation and non pushy sales guy.
The end result is we were quite pleased with the work and the pricing.
I’ll suggest your company to any friends or neighbors who experience water problems in their basement.
Cheers
Foundation Repair Estimate
Got a bid for repair work on our foundation. Ryan was easy to work with.
Spray Foam Insulation
The spray foam insulation installers kept me informed of progress. They were honest when they could not access one area of my bay for insulation completion, so we negotiated a price. Excellent communication of job progress!
