Crawl Space Repair in Greensboro, NC

In Greensboro, moisture problems beneath your home can do far more than damage wood or attract pests—they can affect your family’s health and your home’s value. Many homes in this area, especially older ones with vented crawl spaces or unsealed dirt floors, are highly vulnerable to moisture intrusion. Heavy rain and humid summers make the problem worse. At ’58 Foundations & Waterproofing, we provide crawl space encapsulation and repair solutions designed to create a clean, stable, and dry environment beneath your home, backed by our trusted Life-of-the-Structure Warranty.

Why Crawl Space Problems Are So Common in Greensboro

Greensboro’s humid climate and clay-heavy soils create the perfect environment for crawl space issues. After heavy rainfall, clay soils swell and retain moisture, pushing water into crawl spaces through foundation walls or floor seams. During dry periods, those same soils shrink and can lead to structural shifting. Many homes here were built with open vents that invite moisture-laden air inside, making it difficult to control humidity below the floor. We often see a mix of older homes in neighborhoods like Fisher Park and Lindley Park struggling with these problems, along with newer homes where poor grading leads to drainage issues.

When moisture enters a crawl space, it does more than cause cosmetic damage. It can create conditions for wood rot, structural weakening, mold growth, pest infestations, and poor indoor air quality. More than half the air you breathe in your home can come from below—if your crawl space is damp or contaminated, your living spaces will feel the effects.

Warning Signs of Crawl Space Trouble

It isn’t always obvious when your crawl space is developing problems, but several warning signs often appear in the living areas of your home. Many Greensboro homeowners first notice a musty odor indoors, especially near the floors or HVAC vents. Floors themselves may begin to feel uneven or sag as moisture weakens the wooden supports below. You might also spot mold or mildew forming on baseboards or lower walls, or experience higher indoor humidity that leads to condensation on windows. Increased allergy or asthma symptoms among family members can sometimes be traced back to poor air quality coming from the crawl space. Of course, the clearest signs are often found beneath the home itself—standing water, wet insulation, or visible moisture on crawl space surfaces all point to an issue that needs to be addressed. If any of these signs sound familiar, it’s a good time to schedule a professional inspection before the problem has a chance to worsen.

When you don't have a vapor barrier, your crawl space will be exposed to the elements.

Crawl Space Repair and Encapsulation Services

Our Certified Foundation Specialists begin with a complete crawl space inspection to assess moisture sources, structural integrity, and air quality concerns. Based on your home’s specific needs, we may recommend:

• Crawl Space Encapsulation
  We seal the floor and walls with a reinforced vapor barrier, creating a dry, clean space that blocks ground moisture and improves air quality.

• Moisture Control and Dehumidification
  We install energy-efficient dehumidifiers designed to maintain safe humidity levels and help prevent mold growth.

• Drainage and Waterproofing Solutions
  For crawl spaces with standing water, we install perimeter drainage and sump pump systems to manage and redirect water away from the foundation.

• Wood Rot and Structural Repairs
  If wood rot or settlement has compromised your crawl space supports, we can replace damaged joists and install crawl space jacks or supplemental beams to restore stability.

Each solution is tailored to your home and is designed to provide long-lasting protection against future moisture problems.
