Crawl Space Repair & Moisture Control in Charleston, SC

Most homes in the Lowcountry stand over a crawl space, and Charleston's humid air, heavy rain and high water table work on it all year. Left alone, moisture under a house shows up upstairs as musty air, sagging floors, swollen door frames and wet insulation.

Charleston Crawl Space Services connects Charleston homeowners with a local crawl space contractor for a free, no-obligation assessment and a written quote.

What crawl space work involves

Inspection first. Moisture readings, standing water, the condition of the wood and insulation, and whatever vapor barrier is already down there. The fix depends entirely on what the inspection finds.
Moisture control. A heavy-gauge vapor barrier over the ground stops moisture rising from the soil; full encapsulation seals the walls and vents as well, usually with a dehumidifier to keep the space dry.
Drainage. Standing water calls for drainage work - interior drains or a sump pump - before anything gets sealed.
Structural repair. Floor joists and sills weakened by long-term moisture can be repaired or reinforced, and supports installed to take the sag out of floors above.
The CL-100. Homes in South Carolina are commonly sold with a CL-100 wood infestation report, and excess moisture or fungus under the house is one of the most common findings on one. Fixing the moisture is crawl space work.
Cost. A minor repair can be a few hundred dollars; full encapsulation with a dehumidifier, or structural work, can run well into five figures. Your number depends on the size of the space and what the inspection finds - which is what the free assessment is for.

Common questions

Is the assessment really free?: Yes. The contractor assesses the crawl space and quotes the work at no charge, and you are under no obligation to accept it.
Do I need full encapsulation, or just a vapor barrier?: It depends on what the inspection finds - how wet the space is, where the water comes from and what condition the wood is in. A good contractor prices the options, not one package.
Who actually does the work?: An independent local contractor. Where a job involves structural repairs, that is permitted and inspected work in South Carolina, and the contractor handles the permits. We are a local lead service, not the contractor - see the disclosure below.
What happens after I call?: We take your details and pass them to the local contractor, who calls you back to set up your free assessment.
