Crawlspace moisture is a common concern for homeowners in Concord, Harrisburg, and nearby areas. Excess relative humidity (RH) in your crawlspace can lead to serious issues, including mold growth, wood rot, and even structural damage. This moisture often enters through the ground or outside air, resulting in elevated humidity levels and potential air quality problems. At AdvantaClean of Cabarrus and Rowan Counties, we provide tailored moisture control solutions that address water intrusion and excess moisture based on your home’s specific needs. Since 2008, we've proudly served homeowners in the Concord area, helping to resolve crawlspace mold and moisture challenges.

One of the most effective ways to protect your crawlspace is by installing a high-quality vapor retardant, commonly known as a vapor barrier. This barrier prevents moisture from seeping up from the ground into your crawlspace. It's also essential to ensure that your gutters and downspouts are working properly, directing water several feet away from your home and foundation. There should never be water intrusion into your crawlspace, nor should there be standing water near your foundation. Depending on your situation, we may recommend exterior drainage solutions or interior crawlspace drainage systems, including a sump pump, to remove any unwanted water.

While some may consider full encapsulation of the crawlspace, it’s rarely the best option. In most cases, a more cost-effective moisture control solution—such as a vapor barrier or partial encapsulation combined with proper ventilation—will suffice to reduce humidity levels and protect your home. While many homes benefit from adding a dehumidifier, we've had great success without using one in numerous crawlspaces over the years.

For over 10 years, we've been installing the best moisture control solutions for crawlspaces and attics. The Atmox Moisture Control System is, hands down, the top choice for addressing crawlspace moisture. Atmox is a smart system which uses sensors, fans, and, in some cases, an optional dehumidifier to manage airflow and humidity, effectively preventing mold growth and wood rot. This system continually exchanges fresh outside air with crawlspace air(whenever possible), resulting in improved air quality. Some customers also choose to add LED lights to increase visibility, making it easier to identify issues and making work for plumbers, contractors, and inspectors more efficient.

Although full encapsulation may seem like a comprehensive solution, we generally prefer to maintain the crawlspace’s natural design(when possible), allowing fresh outside air to circulate. This approach effectively manages moisture while preserving airflow.
