Waynesville, NC Crawlspace Gets a Fancy New Entrance

One problem that a lot of homes have in common, is the lack of proper crawlspace entrance. Almost all homes that we visit have some kind of entrance or cover, but they usually are not as good as they should be. Many of the doors that we see have holes in them, cracks around the door, and many other issues. The integrity of the door is extremely important to the health of the crawlspace.

This was the case for this home in Waynesville, North Carolina. As you can see, the yard around the entrance creates a great funnel leading to the entrance. This was a nightmare for the homeowner when it would rain, because the water would just pool around and seep into the crawlspace. This homeowner got more work done inside the crawlspace, which was another reason that this entrance solution was a necessity.

Our solution was this beautiful crawlspace entrance, it almost looks like something out of a Science-Fiction movie! As you can see, the entrance was attached to the home, and then the area around it was backfilled. This was a great solution to this homeowner's problem of the water pooling around the entrance. This also makes getting into the crawlspace much easier and safer. The most important part of this product is that it keeps water and water vapor from getting into the crawlspace, which will significantly decrease the relative humidity level in the crawlspace.
