The Challenge: Moisture, Structural Risks, and Crawl Space Concerns

Marlene Fuller’s crawl space faced numerous challenges that threatened her home’s safety, efficiency, and air quality. These included:

Significant debris accumulation, creating an unsightly and unhygienic environment.
Unsealed vents, allowing moisture and outdoor elements to infiltrate the crawl space.
Elevated moisture levels, which increased the risk of structural damage, mold growth, and poor indoor air quality.
The absence of a dehumidifier, leaving the space vulnerable to humidity-related issues.
A damaged and deteriorating crawl space door, reducing both functionality and protection.

These problems not only compromised the structural integrity of her home but also raised concerns about energy efficiency, durability, and long-term value. Addressing these issues required a comprehensive solution to ensure the crawl space was dry, clean, and properly protected.

How Marlene Found Us

Marlene discovered Coastal Crawl Space and Foundation Repair (CCFR) through a Google search and found the appointment scheduling process to be smooth and accommodating:
“The person who took my call was kind and found a time that worked best for me.”

After receiving a quote from another company, Marlene was impressed with CCFR’s competitive pricing:

“The other company’s quote was $8,000 more for the same amount of work!”

The Solution: Comprehensive Crawl Space Repair and Moisture Management

To address the wide range of issues in Marlene Fuller’s crawl space, Coastal Crawl Space and Foundation Repair (CCFR) implemented a carefully designed two-phase solution:

Crawl Space Encapsulation:
This critical first step involved sealing the crawl space to effectively manage moisture levels and protect the area from future humidity-related problems. By addressing the moisture ingress caused by unsealed vents and high humidity, the encapsulation process improved air quality and created a healthier, more energy-efficient environment for Marlene’s home.
Expert Woodwork Repairs:
To restore the structural integrity of her home, CCFR’s skilled team carried out detailed woodwork repairs. This included replacing damaged components and fortifying the crawl space structure to ensure lasting durability and support.

Marlene particularly appreciated CCFR’s flexibility in dividing the project into two manageable phases. This approach allowed her to see visible progress throughout the process and made it easier to address her concerns systematically and cost-effectively.

Results: A Fully Restored and Protected Crawl Space

Marlene Fuller’s crawl space underwent a remarkable transformation, achieving significant improvements in functionality, protection, and appearance:

Debris Removal and Vent Sealing:
The team cleared the accumulated debris, creating a clean and safe environment, and sealed the vents to prevent future moisture infiltration and pest entry.
Comprehensive Crawl Space Encapsulation:
By installing a moisture-resistant barrier, CCFR successfully reduced humidity levels, protected the crawl space from future water damage, and improved overall air quality inside the home.
Dehumidifier Installation and Door Replacement:
A new, high-performance dehumidifier was installed to maintain consistent humidity control, while a sturdy new crawl space door provided added security and ease of access.
Structural Repairs and Improvements:
CCFR’s expert woodwork repairs restored the crawl space’s structural integrity, ensuring the long-term stability of Marlene’s home.

Marlene was ecstatic with the outcome, describing the transformation:
