Crawl Spaces
High humidity in the soil and air releases destructive water vapor, which rises from the crawl space and into your entire home. Additionally, most crawl spaces have vents, which allow outside air into the space. This air is damp and carries mold spores and musty odors, providing the perfect environment for insects and other pests, as well as wood rot.

1- A crawl space drainage matting may be installed under a vapor barrier to provide extra drainage by channeling water to the footer drainage system. The drainage matting is made of a high-density polyethylene that provides added durability.
2- The Modular Crawl Space Entry Well is large, creating an area of access that makes getting in and out of the crawl space easy and comfortable. Because it is made of a high density plastic, it will never rust, rot, or cave in. Due to it modular design (it is made of sections that are 21˝ deep), the well depth can be customized to allow for an increase in the size of the opening, making the entrance and exit of the crawl space an easier experience. Getting into the crawl space is no longer a dreaded proposition, and utilizing the space for storage is a realistic option.
