Moisture in your crawl space can be very concerning. It’s a serious problem that is a direct threat to your property and the health of your family. Persistent crawl space water problems can cause physical damage to the structure of your home and encourage mold growth and pests.
It’s not normal to have water or moisture problems in your crawl space. Take action as soon as possible to mitigate the damage and reclaim your crawl space. Enlist the help of Bravo Restoration & Construction (BRC) for professional crawl space encapsulation and put an end to your crawl space water worries.
Eliminate Your Crawl Space Problems
It’s easy to understand why crawl spaces are prone to suffering from water and moisture issues. Flooding or plumbing issues can result in standing water accumulating in your crawl space, and poor ventilation or drainage issues can lead to condensation issues. And since you probably don’t visit your crawl space often, these issues can go unnoticed and can lead to mold growth.
Crawl space encapsulation works by creating a physical moisture barrier to keep water out. A sump pump and/or dehumidifier may be used in combination with the moisture barrier to manage persistent moisture problems. Any existing water damage or mold growth must be remediated before the moisture barrier is installed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crawl Space Water Extraction
Why is there moisture in my crawl space?
Crawl spaces are naturally prone to moisture because they sit below grade. Poor drainage, plumbing leaks, groundwater intrusion, or humid air entering through vents can all contribute. If left unchecked, moisture leads to mold, wood rot, and pest infestations.
Is crawl space moisture really that dangerous?
Yes. Moisture in your crawl space can compromise your home’s structural integrity and indoor air quality. Mold spores and musty odors can rise into your living areas, affecting your family’s health. It’s more than just an inconvenience, it’s a serious issue that demands professional help.
What is crawl space encapsulation, and how does it help?
Encapsulation is the process of sealing off your crawl space from outside moisture using a heavy-duty vapor barrier. At BRC, we may also install sump pumps and dehumidifiers if needed. This system locks out water and humidity, helping prevent mold and structural damage long-term.
Can I just put down plastic myself?
Basic plastic sheets from the hardware store aren’t enough. DIY solutions usually fail because they don’t address the root causes, like drainage, existing water, or ventilation problems. BRC’s team evaluates all contributing factors and installs a complete, durable system that’s built to last.
What signs should I watch for that indicate crawl space water issues?
Look for:
- Musty smells in your home
- Sagging floors
- Higher indoor humidity
- Visible mold or water stains
- Increased allergy symptoms
If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to call in the pros.
Does BRC handle mold removal too?
Absolutely. BRC is an IICRC Certified Firm and holds advanced microbial remediation credentials. If mold is found, we’ll safely remediate it before starting encapsulation, ensuring your home is healthy and safe.
