Damp air, low lots, and older cottages with thin ground cover add up to high moisture readings. We find the source and fix it.

We clear it out before measuring anything. Learn more https://intercoastalcrawlspace.com/services/crawlspace-cleanout ### Vapor Barrier Installation A properly sealed ground cover is the fix for most damp Folly crawlspaces with sandy soil. Learn more https://intercoastalcrawlspace.com/services/vapor-barrier-installation ### Crawlspace Encapsulation When marsh and ocean humidity keep readings high after the ground is covered, encapsulation holds the space steady. Learn more https://intercoastalcrawlspace.com/services/crawlspace-encapsulation ### Insulation Removal Wet batts pull away from the subfloor in beach humidity. We remove them and document the framing. Learn more https://intercoastalcrawlspace.com/services/insulation-removal ### Crawl Space Dehumidifiers Sized to the space, with condensate drainage that actually leaves the crawlspace.

Vented crawlspaces pull that air straight onto the floor framing. Low lots near the marsh can hold standing water after heavy rain or high tides. Water under the house raises readings fast, so drainage is part of every inspection we do here. Many Folly homes are older cottages with ground cover that was never sealed. Replacing it properly is often the biggest single improvement.
