Where to start

Not sure what your crawlspace needs?

Homeowners often notice the symptoms before they know the cause. These are common signs Done Right can help identify and recommend the appropriate repair or improvement for.

  • Standing WaterMay indicate a drainage or grading issue
  • Damp or Musty CrawlspaceMay indicate a moisture issue
  • Excess MoistureMay call for moisture control or a vapor barrier
  • Fungal GrowthOften related to ongoing moisture conditions
  • Sagging or Weak FloorsMay relate to framing or support below
  • Damaged Structural FramingMay call for repair or reinforcement
  • Poor Crawlspace InsulationMay relate to moisture or age of materials
  • Drainage ProblemsMay call for interior or exterior drainage work

Scope of work

What we handle under the house

Every crawlspace is different. We look at what is actually happening in the space before recommending work.

Crawlspace Waterproofing

Water in a crawlspace usually has a path in. We look at how water is reaching the space and put together a practical plan — which may include sealing, barriers, drainage, or a combination — based on what the crawlspace actually shows us.

Things homeowners notice

  • Standing water after rain
  • Damp soil that never dries
  • Water lines on foundation walls

Moisture Control

Damp crawlspaces often stay damp because of how air, soil, and water interact under the house. We talk through the options that fit the crawlspace rather than applying the same package everywhere.

Things homeowners notice

  • Musty odors indoors
  • Condensation on ductwork or pipes
  • Humid feel in the crawlspace

Vapor Barriers

A vapor barrier separates the living space above from bare soil below. Existing barriers are often torn, thin, or incomplete — we assess what is there and install accordingly.

Things homeowners notice

  • Torn or missing ground sheeting
  • Exposed bare soil
  • Sheeting that is no longer fastened

Drainage Solutions

Drainage work can be inside the crawlspace, outside around the home, or both. The approach depends on grade, soil, and where the water is coming from.

Things homeowners notice

  • Pooling near the foundation
  • Repeat water after heavy rain
  • Downspouts discharging close to the house

Crawlspace Insulation

Insulation in a crawlspace can sag, absorb moisture, or fall out entirely. Moisture concerns are usually addressed first so new insulation stays in good condition.

Things homeowners notice

  • Insulation hanging between joists
  • Cold floors in winter
  • Insulation on the crawlspace floor

Structural Repairs

Sagging or soft framing is repaired based on what is found in the space — which may include sistering joists, replacing damaged wood, or adjusting support.

Things homeowners notice

  • Floors that feel soft or uneven
  • Deteriorated wood framing
  • Support posts that have shifted

Fungal Growth Remediation & Prevention

Growth on wood or subfloor is generally tied to moisture. Treatment on its own tends not to hold, so we look at the moisture source as part of the work. We do not make health-related claims.

Things homeowners notice

  • Discoloration on joists or subfloor
  • Persistent musty smell
  • Growth returning after past treatment
