CRAWL SPACE REPAIR
Moisture & Waterproofing Solutions Serving Montgomery County, Delaware County, Chester County & the Main Line
Your crawl space plays a much bigger role in your home’s health than most people realize. When moisture, humidity, or standing water take over, problems can show up fast — musty odors, higher energy bills, falling insulation, or even damage to wooden floor joists. Because crawl spaces are out of sight, these issues often go unnoticed until the symptoms become hard to ignore.
Main Line Waterproofing offers targeted solutions to keep your crawl space dry, clean, and stable year-round. Whether you’re dealing with water intrusion, damp air, or a crawl space that never seems to stay dry, our team can diagnose the problem and recommend the right fix.
Below are the primary crawl space repair and moisture-control services we provide.

Crawl Space French Drains & Sump Pump Installation
Stops flooding, standing water, and recurring moisture problems.
Water in your crawl space doesn’t just create musty odors — it can lead to mold, wood rot, and long-term damage to your foundation. The most effective way to manage water is with a proper drainage system.
Our drainage solutions include:
- Installing an interior French drain along the crawl space perimeter
- Setting a sump pump in a protected basin
- Directing water safely away from your foundation
- Preventing the return of standing water and moisture damage
A well-designed drainage system keeps water from sitting under your home and protects the structure above it.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Creates a clean, sealed, energy-efficient crawl space.
If your crawl space constantly feels damp or musty, encapsulation may be the long-term solution. Encapsulation seals the crawl space from outside air and ground moisture, helping maintain a dry, controlled environment.
What encapsulation includes:
- A durable vapor barrier on the floor and walls
- Sealed seams and support piers
- Optional insulation upgrades
- A clean, bright, finished appearance
Benefits:
- Helps prevent mold and mildew
- Protects wooden framing from rot
- Improves indoor air quality
- Reduces odors and allergens
- Lowers energy costs by stabilizing temperature and humidity
Encapsulation is ideal for homeowners looking for a permanent solution to chronic moisture problems.
Crawl Space Vent Sealing
Prevents humid outdoor air, pests, and cold drafts from entering the crawl space.
Older homes often have open crawl space vents that allow outside air to pour in. During warm, humid months, this raises moisture levels quickly — especially in our region.
Our vent sealing process includes:
- Blocking off and sealing old or damaged vents
- Closing gaps and openings around the foundation
- Preventing humidity, pests, and unconditioned air from entering
Vent sealing helps create a controlled environment and prepares the crawl space for encapsulation or dehumidification.
Crawl Space Dehumidifier Installation
Maintains healthy humidity levels all year long.
Even after sealing or encapsulating your crawl space, humidity can still rise during certain seasons. A properly sized dehumidifier keeps the space dry and stable.
What we install:
- A professional-grade dehumidifier sized to your crawl space
- Automatic drainage for hassle-free maintenance
- Systems that reliably control moisture and protect your home
Benefits:
- Prevents mold growth
- Protects floor joists and insulation
- Improves overall indoor air quality
- Eliminates musty crawl space odors
This is the finishing touch to any crawl space moisture-control system.
Why Moisture Control Matters in Your Crawl Space
A damp crawl space doesn’t stay contained — the effects often move upward into your living space. The right repairs can help:
- Improve indoor air quality
- Reduce humidity and musty odors
- Protect floor joists from moisture damage
- Lower energy bills by preventing air loss
- Prevent mold growth and allergens
Keeping your crawl space dry is one of the best long-term investments you can make in your home’s health.
