Crawl Space Repair in Winston-Salem, NC

If your Winston-Salem home has musty odors, high humidity, or signs of moisture beneath the floor, your crawl space may be doing more harm than you realize. Many homes in our area were built with vented crawl spaces, which leave them vulnerable to moisture problems that can quickly affect the entire structure. At ’58 Foundations & Waterproofing, we offer crawl space repair solutions that address the root cause of these issues, not just the symptoms. With decades of local experience and our Life-of-the-Structure Warranty, we deliver repair systems that help safeguard your home’s structure, air quality, and long-term value.

Why Crawl Space Problems Shouldn’t Wait

Crawl spaces in Winston-Salem face unique challenges thanks to our region’s weather and soils. Frequent rain, humid summers, and clay-heavy soils create conditions where moisture can easily build up beneath the home. Over time, this excess moisture leads to problems that reach far beyond the crawl space itself.

We often see homes where damp crawl spaces have caused floor joists and subflooring to weaken due to wood rot. Mold and mildew thrive in these conditions, spreading into insulation and even the living areas above. Crawl spaces can also attract pests—rodents, insects, and termites all favor the dark, wet environment beneath a poorly protected home. Beyond structural concerns, poor indoor air quality often results, as air from the crawl space rises into the home. Many homeowners also notice higher energy bills, since humid air makes HVAC systems work harder to maintain comfort.

In a climate like Winston-Salem’s, where weather swings can push moisture levels even higher, these problems should never be ignored. Addressing crawl space issues early is one of the best ways to protect your home and the health of those inside it.

When you have standing water in the crawl space, your home is at risk.

Our Crawl Space Repair Solutions

Every home and crawl space is different, which is why we tailor each repair plan to your property’s needs. After a complete inspection, our Certified Foundation Specialists will recommend the right combination of solutions to restore a safe, stable environment beneath your home.

• Interior Drainage Systems
  We install drainage channels that direct water out of the crawl space before it can pool or soak into wooden framing and insulation.

• Sump Pump Installation
  Our sump pump systems automatically remove water during rain events or when groundwater rises—critical protection in Winston-Salem’s rainy seasons.

• Encapsulation Systems
  We seal crawl space floors and walls with a reinforced vapor barrier, creating a clean, dry space that blocks ground moisture and reduces humidity throughout the home.

• Dehumidification and Moisture Control
  Even after encapsulation, some homes require added humidity control. We install efficient dehumidifiers to help prevent mold and mildew and improve indoor air quality.

• Structural Support Installation
  If your crawl space framing shows signs of rot, settlement, or other structural problems, we can install crawl space jacks or new supplemental beams to restore support and level floors.

Throughout the process, we take the time to explain exactly what we find and how each repair will protect your home, not just today, but long-term.
