Reliable Crawl Space Repair and Encapsulation Services
If your home has a musty, damp crawl space or you’ve noticed sagging floors or foundation issues, it’s time to take a closer look. At Rapid Foundation Repair, we provide trusted crawl space repair services throughout South Dakota, eastern Wyoming, and northern Nebraska.
What Causes Crawl Space Problems?
In homes with a crawl space foundation, the structure is typically supported by piers beneath the beams. These piers can be made of wood or concrete and rest on shallow footings or compacted soil. Over time, changes in soil moisture and freeze-thaw cycles can cause the piers to settle or shift. When this happens, you may start to see:
- Sagging or uneven floors
- Gaps between floors and walls
- Cracked drywall or misaligned doors
- A musty or humid crawl space
The root of the issue is often unstable soil. Adding more piers or simply encapsulating the area without addressing the foundation won’t provide a lasting solution.
Our Proven Crawl Space Repair System
At Rapid Foundation Repair, we offer long-term solutions — not temporary fixes. Our most effective method for stabilizing crawl space foundations is a steel push pier system. Here’s how it works:
- Deep Installation: We drive high-strength steel piers deep into the ground until they reach stable, load-bearing soil — well below the zone affected by moisture and seasonal changes.
- Lift & Lock: Using a hydraulic manifold system, we carefully lift the structure back to level and secure it in place.
- Permanent Support: Once installed, the piers provide reliable, long-lasting support that won’t shift with changing soil conditions.
Crawl Space Encapsulation: Seal Out Moisture for Good
Even if your crawl space doesn’t have structural issues yet, moisture can create serious problems over time. Because concrete is porous, water vapor can easily enter your crawl space and lead to:
- Mold and mildew
- Wet or falling insulation
- Wood rot
- Musty odors and high indoor humidity
That’s where crawl space encapsulation comes in. We install a durable vapor barrier (also known as a crawl space liner) along the floors and walls to completely seal the space and block moisture. This system helps:
- Keep your crawl space dry and clean
- Improve indoor air quality
- Lower your energy bills by reducing HVAC workload
- Prevent mold, rot, and further damage to your home
