Expert Crawlspace Solutions

The crawlspace is one of the most overlooked yet critical areas of a home. This dark, unseen space beneath your floors can have a massive impact on your entire living environment. A damp, unsealed crawlspace can become a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and pests, leading to poor indoor air quality, musty odors, and even structural damage from wood rot. Furthermore, an unconditioned crawlspace can be a major source of energy loss. At Torres Big Brothers Construction, we provide comprehensive crawlspace solutions, including encapsulation and repair, to transform this neglected area into a clean, dry, and healthy part of your home. Our primary service is full crawlspace encapsulation. This process involves completely sealing the crawlspace from the earth and outside air. We install a heavy-duty, puncture-resistant vapor barrier across the ground and up the foundation walls, and we seal all vents and gaps. This barrier prevents moisture from the ground from seeping into the crawlspace, which is the root cause of most mold and humidity problems. Encapsulation not only drastically improves your home’s indoor air quality by preventing a "stack effect" of dirty air rising into your living areas, but it also increases energy efficiency by creating a conditioned space, leading to lower heating and cooling bills. In addition to encapsulation, we also perform necessary structural repairs, such as replacing rotted joists or supports, and can install dehumidifiers or sump pumps for ultimate moisture control. A clean, sealed crawlspace is a crucial investment in your home's long-term health, structural integrity, and efficiency.
