Permanent Protection for Memphis Crawl Spaces

 High humidity and clay soil mean Memphis homes breathe whatever sits below the floor. Our NFRA-certified team seals crawl spaces tight, keeping mold, odors, and pests out of your living space.

Why Crawl Spaces Suffer in Memphis

Memphis summers are hot and muggy, spring storms dump inches of rain overnight, and local unique soils hold water against foundations. Warm, wet air creeps through open vents, causing wood rot, mold growth, and higher energy bills.

    Local Causes of Crawl Space Issues

    In Memphis, several conditions combine to create damp, unhealthy crawl spaces. The Mississippi River and Wolf River tributaries keep the water table high, which means soil under homes stays wet for much of the year. Shelby County’s unique soil compositions can soak up water fast, forcing moisture vapor upward into crawl spaces. When warm, humid air enters through open foundation vents, it cools on the wood framing and condenses into water droplets. Thin, outdated 6‑mil plastic liners make matters worse because they tear easily and trap water in hidden pockets, inviting mold and wood rot.

    Drainage Prep

    We install perimeter trenches, French drains, or sump basins if standing water is present, which moves bulk water out before sealing starts.
