Standing water causes wet, musty, and moldy conditions in a crawl space. A flooded crawl space is constantly releasing water vapors into the air and increasing the overall humidity.
The worst problem with flooding in a crawl space is when the standing water is on top of the vapor barrier. The vapor barrier prevents the water from draining, which essentially traps the water in the crawl space, constantly releasing moisture into the air.
Often times, most people are not aware that their crawl space floods. It’s not until a professional inspector identifies the signs of flooding or if someone inspects the crawl space immediately after a heavy rain, that people discover there is standing water in the crawl space.
The goal of any homeowner with standing water in the crawl space should be to prevent future flooding instances. Standing water can cause significant issues if left unresolved.
We don’t recommend a single ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to fixing the issues. A well thought out plan, by a trained professional, will get the best results. The whole issue including how it was caused, how severe the problem is, and the conditions of the property should determine the best path forward.

“Our experience with Bay Crawl Space & Foundation Repair was outstanding. From first contact everything was smooth and made as easy as possible for us. We were kept informed every step of the process via email, phone, and/or text. The work was top-notch. The cost was extremely reasonable. We were impressed that Bay did not try to sell services that weren’t required.”
“I conducted a good amount of research before choosing Bay to perform foundation work at my home in Chesapeake. I couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant experience. Everyone that made contact with me along the way was courteous and professional. Price was reasonable and they performed quality work. Timely, outstanding workmanship at a fair price.”
Most honest evaluation we had, didn’t try to sell us on anything we didn’t need, most competitive pricing compared to 3 other companies we reached out to for the same issue! Thanks for not using scared tactics…
We had our crawlspace encapsulated by BAY three years ago at a fraction of the cost of JES’s estimate. The work was done on time and to exceptional standards. The office has been courteous, the workers arrived on time…
