Crawl space problems can go unnoticed for years, quietly causing damage beneath your home. From mold and wood rot to shifting floors and musty air, these issues can take a serious toll on comfort, health, and structure. In Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the combination of heavy rain, high humidity, and freeze-thaw cycles makes crawl space problems especially common.
At '58 Foundations & Waterproofing, we specialize in crawl space repair that protects your home from the ground up. Whether you're dealing with pooling water, failing insulation, or sagging supports, our team delivers long-lasting solutions designed for the conditions here in Lancaster County. With over 65 years of experience, we know how to restore the safety and stability of your home.
Crawl space issues in Lancaster County often start with moisture. The area’s clay-heavy soil holds water after storms, creating pressure around the foundation. When drainage is poor, that water seeps into the crawl space through vents, walls, or the ground itself.
Summer humidity adds another layer of risk. Warm air enters through vents or gaps, condensing on cooler surfaces inside the crawl space. Over time, this creates the perfect environment for mold, mildew, and wood decay. Winter brings its problems; freeze-thaw cycles can cause the soil to shift, which places strain on supports and can weaken the foundation over time.
Without the right waterproofing and structural protection, these conditions can quickly lead to bigger problems throughout your home.
Even if you never enter your crawl space, the signs of a problem can show up inside your living space. You might notice a persistent musty smell or unusually high humidity. Floors may start to sag or feel soft in certain areas. In finished homes, you may see mold forming along baseboards, or find that your heating and cooling bills have started to rise.
Other signs include visible rot on floor joists, wet insulation, or insect and rodent activity. If you notice standing water, rust on ductwork, or condensation forming in the crawl space, it’s time to act. These are not surface-level issues; they are signs of deeper moisture and structural concerns that can worsen over time.
Our crawl space repair services are tailored to the specific needs of homes in Lancaster County. We identify the source of the problem and build a customized plan to stop moisture, reinforce the structure, and restore healthy conditions.
All repairs are completed by trained professionals and backed by our Life-of-the-Structure Warranty. We don’t offer temporary fixes—we solve the problem completely.

For homes in Lancaster County with ongoing moisture problems, full crawl space encapsulation offers the most reliable and lasting protection. Encapsulation involves sealing the entire crawl space to prevent moisture, pests, and outdoor air from entering. This process begins with the installation of a thick plastic vapor barrier across the crawl space floor and up the walls. The barrier blocks ground moisture from rising into the space and isolates the home from the damp conditions below.
Next, all vents and openings to the outside are sealed to eliminate the entry points for humid air, cold drafts, and pests. Once the space is closed off, we install a high-capacity dehumidifier to maintain dry conditions and regulate humidity year-round. Encapsulation may also include updated insulation materials designed to perform in crawl space environments, improving energy efficiency throughout the home.
The result is a cleaner, drier, and healthier space beneath your home. Encapsulation not only protects your foundation but can also help reduce heating and cooling costs, improve indoor air quality, and prevent long-term damage caused by mold or wood rot.
Crawl space repair pricing depends on the condition of the space, the size of your home, and the type of system needed. Basic repairs, such as moisture barriers or sump pump installation, cost less than full encapsulation or structural work. Homes with long-term damage may require more involved solutions.
