Your Des Moines home deserves a foundation that's dry, healthy, and built to last. We provide the expert engineering and local commitment needed to eliminate moisture problems for good.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
The ultimate solution for Central Iowa foundation protection. We transform your damp, dark crawl space into a clean, dry, conditioned area that improves your entire home's air quality and increases property value.
Iowa's high water table and humid summers turn open crawl spaces into mold factories, rotting your floor joists and inviting pests into your family's living area.
Our 20-mil antimicrobial liner is mechanically fastened and permanently sealed, creating a bulletproof barrier between your home and the raw earth.
Vapor Barrier Systems
Essential moisture protection designed specifically for the unique humidity challenges and heavy clay soil conditions of the Des Moines metro area.
Standard thin plastic liners used by many local builders tear easily, bunch up, and fail to stop the constant 'earth-smell' and radon gases from infiltrating your home.
We install heavy-duty, multi-layer reinforced polyethylene barriers that are custom-tailored to every corner of your foundation for a 100% monolithic seal.
Crawl Space Insulation
Upgrade from failing fiberglass to moisture-resistant rigid foam boards. Keep your Des Moines home cozy and your floors warm even during sub-zero Iowa winters.
Old fiberglass 'batts' absorb Iowa humidity, sag under their own weight, and become a breeding ground for rodents while leaving your pipes exposed to freezing.
We install closed-cell rigid foam insulation directly to foundation walls, creating a continuous thermal break that keeps heat in and cold air out.
Moisture Control Systems
Precision humidity control engineered for the Iowa climate. Our industrial-grade systems keep your crawl space air dry, protecting your health and your home's structure.
Even with a barrier, Des Moines' summer humidity can reach 90%+. This moisture condenses on cold surfaces, fueling mold growth and warping expensive hardwood flooring.
We integrate high-capacity, self-draining dehumidifiers that automatically maintain humidity levels below 55%, filtering the air while protecting your structural wood.
Crawl Space Repair
Structural restoration for sagging or bouncy floors. We restore the integrity of your Des Moines home's foundation using heavy-duty, engineered steel support jacks.
Excessive moisture weakens wood beams over time, leading to bouncy floors, sticking doors, and visible cracks in your drywall upstairs.
Adjustable steel piers and beam reinforcement that transfer the weight of your home to stable soil, leveling floors and stopping further settlement.
Crawl Space Inspections
Expert 25-point crawl space evaluations for Des Moines homeowners. Get a professional assessment of your property's foundation before small issues become major expenses.
Most homeowners never enter their crawl space, allowing leaks, mold, and structural rot to go unnoticed for years until they become catastrophic and expensive.
A detailed visual and digital inspection using moisture meters and thermal imaging to provide a clear roadmap for your home's long-term health and safety.
