Basement & Crawlspace Water Mitigation
A drier basement, a healthier house.
Musty smells and damp walls are your house telling you something. We look at where water and moisture are coming from and install mitigation systems that help keep your basement or crawlspace drier, which also protects insulation and indoor air.
Sound familiar?
- Musty smell in the basement
- Water along the floor after heavy rain or spring melt
- Peeling paint or white mineral deposits on walls
- Damp, sagging insulation in a crawlspace
- Stored items that mold or rust
What we do
Moisture diagnosis
We trace the source: groundwater, drainage, humidity or all three.
Water mitigation systems
Solutions chosen for your foundation and site.
Crawlspace treatment
Ground moisture control and crawlspace air sealing and insulation.
Sump pumps and drainage
Sump pump installation and replacement, with drainage matched to how water behaves on your property.
Dehumidification and air flow
Support systems that help keep humidity in check and discourage musty conditions.
How it works
We inspect the space and ask about when and where water appears.
We recommend a solution and quote one set price.
We install the system and clean up.
We follow up through a wet season so you know it's working.
Financing and moisture work
Efficiency Maine doesn't list a rebate for water mitigation, but its Home Energy Loans can cover health-and-safety costs such as moisture issues when paired with eligible energy upgrades (up to 25% of the amount financed).
Quick answers
Is my basement leaking or just humid?
Great question, and exactly what we diagnose. The fix is different for each.
Should I insulate a damp basement?
Moisture usually comes first. We'll sequence the work so insulation isn't wasted.
Do you do crawlspaces too?
Yes, from moisture control to insulation and air sealing.
