Crawl Space Repair Experts
Tri-State Waterproofing has been dedicated to crawl space repair, treating every home as if it were our own. Our experienced waterproofing inspectors begin by examining the exterior for issues like disconnected downspouts and checking the property’s slope for signs of foundation settlement.
Next, we inspect the interior for water or moisture in the crawl space and any efflorescence on the foundation walls. If we find signs of water, we may recommend installing a sump pump or a gravity drain, depending on the land’s grade.
We’ll also assess whether a crawl space dehumidifier is needed and check the floor system for dry rot, mold, or mildew. If there are unsupported areas in your floor system, we’ll identify them and provide effective solutions.

Signs Your Crawl Space Needs Repair
Regular inspections and prompt repairs are essential to maintain a healthy and safe crawl space. We are here to help you identify and address these concerns effectively.
Let us help you protect what matters most!
Buckled Flooring
Buckled flooring occurs when high humidity or moisture in the crawlspace seeps into floor joists and the subfloor, eventually affecting the interior flooring. This excess moisture causes hardwood to swell, warp, and sustain damage. Addressing crawlspace moisture issues through proper ventilation, dehumidification, or waterproofing can prevent further harm.
Flooding/Standing Water
Flooding or standing water in a crawlspace can lead to severe issues like wood rot, mould growth, and compromised structural integrity. Left untreated, it invites pests and damages your home’s foundation. Professional waterproofing and drainage solutions can eliminate standing water and protect your crawlspace from future flooding.
Efflorescence In Crawl Space
Efflorescence is a key warning sign of hydrostatic pressure pushing water through a block wall. It is a salt-like reaction that eats through cinder blocks, deteriorating their structural integrity.
Mold In Crawl Space
Standing water in your crawl space enables the growth of mold and mildew. When the relative humidity reaches 55%, mold spores grow. Mold and mildew spores can get inside the house and might cause health problems for your family if left unchecked.

Our Crawl Space Repair Solutions
Crawl Space Interior Drain System
Our Crawl Space Interior Drain System surrounds your crawl space to collect water that seeps in. This system channels the water to a sump pump, which pumps it away from your foundation, keeping your crawl space dry. After installation, we add a Vapor Barrier for extra protection.
We assess the crawl space to find the best way to discharge water. Ideally, we use gravity drainage if the yard slope allows; otherwise, we install a sump pump.
Tri-State Waterproofing’s Crawl Space Interior Drain System comes with a transferable lifetime warranty, ensuring your crawl space stays dry.
Power Post Vs Temporary Post
We frequently receive calls from customers concerned about sagging or sinking floors. This issue usually arises when the floor system lacks proper support or when temporary supports fail. Using temporary posts isn’t ideal and can lead to problems like sticking doors and windows.
A crawl space power post offers a permanent solution to these issues. Made of steel, these posts effectively support the weight of your home. We install them with a permanent footing and ensure proper placement on the crawl space ceiling, guaranteeing stability and preventing movement.
Crawl Space Power Post
Our foundation specialists expertly install adjustable power posts to effectively stabilize your floor system. Each power post is anchored with a permanent footer, ensuring a solid base, and is connected to a beam that spans the area of the sagging floor.
This design not only provides essential support but also minimizes floor movement, helping to eliminate annoying bouncing and creaking sounds. With our adjustable power posts, you can enjoy a more stable and comfortable home environment.
Crawl Space Dehumidifier
Does your crawlspace or basement have a musty smell? This is because of your home’s humidity level. We can help you get rid of these problems by installing a commercial-grade dehumidifier. The ideal crawl space humidity is 55% or below.
This keeps mold from growing and turns mold dormant. Our crawl space specialist will help you choose the correct crawl space dehumidifier based on the area’s cubic footage.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Our Crawl Space Encapsulation system is designed to thoroughly protect your home from water intrusion, high humidity, and mold growth. By installing a high-quality vapor barrier, we ensure that your crawl space floor joists are shielded from any water penetration.
This protection is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of your home, as it prevents moisture-related damage that can compromise your foundation over time.
