Moisture, mold, and sagging floors are common crawl space problems in Franklin County homes. '58 Foundations & Waterproofing offers expert crawl space repair services, including waterproofing, structural reinforcement, and full encapsulation.
Your crawl space might be out of sight, but it plays a critical role in protecting your home’s structure, air quality, and energy performance. In Franklin County, wet weather, shifting temperatures, and high summer humidity can lead to serious crawl space problems. Left untreated, moisture can trigger mold growth, wood rot, and even foundation failure.
At '58 Foundations & Waterproofing, we help homeowners across Franklin County take control of crawl space conditions with repair solutions built to last. Whether you're dealing with standing water or sagging floors, our crawl space repair company delivers lasting results backed by real expertise.
Crawl space damage often starts with the soil and water around your home. Heavy rainfall can lead to surface runoff or groundwater buildup that finds its way through the foundation walls or floor. Without proper drainage, this moisture becomes trapped, turning the crawl space into a damp, humid environment.
Winter freeze-thaw cycles make the situation worse. As the soil expands and contracts, it can shift support piers or create movement in the framing. High humidity during the summer can raise moisture levels further, leading to mildew, decaying wood, and insulation breakdown. In these conditions, pests like termites, rodents, and insects often move in, accelerating structural decline.
Moisture problems in a crawl space often reveal themselves through signs inside the home. If your floors feel soft or uneven, the floor joists below may be compromised. A persistent musty odor could be a sign of mold or mildew spreading upward through the home’s air circulation. You might also notice a rise in energy bills, often due to wet or damaged insulation losing its effectiveness.
Other signs include visible moisture or water under the home, stains or bubbling paint along baseboards, or evidence of pests nesting near foundation vents. If you see any of these issues, it’s time to contact a local crawl space repair contractor for a full inspection.
At '58 Foundations & Waterproofing, we provide crawl space repair services that solve both the visible symptoms and the underlying causes. Each service is designed around your home’s conditions and installed by a trained contractor with knowledge of Franklin County’s soil and climate.
Crawl Space Waterproofing
We install interior drainage systems and sump pumps to remove standing water. Vapor barriers are used to keep ground moisture from entering the space, protecting wooden framing and insulation from long-term damage.
Structural Repairs and Reinforcement
If joists, beams, or support piers have been weakened by moisture, we reinforce or replace them to restore proper support. This helps eliminate floor sagging and structural strain throughout the home.
Insulation Removal and Replacement
Damp, moldy insulation creates more problems than it solves. We remove old materials and install new insulation designed to resist humidity and help regulate temperatures throughout the year.
Humidity and Moisture Control
To maintain a stable environment, we seal vents and install dehumidifiers that manage humidity levels inside the crawl space. This reduces the risk of mold growth and improves air quality inside the home.
Our crawl space repair company works closely with Franklin County homeowners to find the right solution at the right cost. We never oversell. We simply provide what your home needs to stay dry, stable, and protected.

For homeowners looking to prevent moisture problems long-term, encapsulation offers the highest level of protection. Encapsulation seals the crawl space from outside air and ground moisture, creating a clean, controlled environment that supports the home above.
Our encapsulation process begins with vapor barrier installation across the crawl space floor and walls. We seal all vents, gaps, and access points to block airflow and outside humidity. A high-efficiency dehumidifier is added to maintain consistent moisture levels, and new insulation may be installed to improve thermal efficiency.
By encapsulating the crawl space, you stop moisture intrusion at the source. This helps prevent mold, keeps pests out, and can reduce energy costs year-round. Encapsulation also improves the overall air quality inside the home and can increase the value of your property.
The cost of crawl space repair depends on the condition of the space and the level of damage involved. Minor issues may be resolved with drainage or vent sealing, while more severe problems may require structural reinforcement or full encapsulation. The size of your crawl space and access conditions also affect pricing.
At '58 Foundations & Waterproofing, we provide honest, detailed estimates at no cost. After a full inspection, our contractor will walk you through the findings and explain your options clearly. We offer fair pricing, no hidden fees, and no pressure to commit before you’re ready.
