Quality Waterproofing Services from Rapid Foundation Repair
Don’t tolerate a damp, nasty crawl space that smells musty! These conditions not only produce harmful airborne mold spores, but it also causes structural damage. Since most crawl spaces are dark and humid, they become perfect habitats for insects and rodents. Also, mold loves a dark, humid environment, allowing it to thrive on wood. At Rapid Foundation Repair, we’ll show you how to keep moisture levels under control in your crawl space. We’ll transform crawl space issues into a dry foundation in the South Dakota area. If you notice a musty smell in your home, it could be caused by a wet crawl space. Our team of experts is trained to identify the warning signs of crawl space problems. We’ll look for the following issues:
- Visible mold growth and mildew
- Rotting wood
- Cold floors above the crawl space
- Rusty metal appliances
- Insect and pest infestation

- Condensation
