Local conditions
Why crawl spaces around here get wet
The City of Murfreesboro names sinkholes, the West Fork Stones River and Lytle Creek as its main sources of flooding, and treats December to April as the critical season because of frequent, intense storms. It adds that low ground can flood well away from any creek.
A crawl space does not need a flood to get wet, though. Three ordinary things do most of the damage: roof water let go beside the foundation, a yard that tilts toward the house, and humid summer air drifting in through open vents and condensing on cool ducts and joists.
So look twice a year. Check under the house after the winter rains for puddles and mud, and again in late summer for dripping ducts and limp insulation. To see how your lot sits on the flood map, use the flood zone guide.

Quick answers
Is this a crawl space company?
No. It is a referral service. When you call, you reach an independent local company, and that company does the inspection and the work.
Do I need repair, encapsulation or both?
If something is already damaged or water is getting in, that is repair. If the space is intact but damp and musty, sealing it is the usual answer. A lot of houses need the first and then the second.
I have a basement, not a crawl space. Can I still call?
Yes. Basement waterproofing, leak repair and sump pumps are covered too.
Which areas are covered?
Murfreesboro and nearby Rutherford County towns, among them Smyrna, La Vergne, Rockvale and Lascassas.
