The Importance of Repairing Your Crawlspace
Homes with crawl space foundations were quite popular in the U.S. after World War II. They could be built faster and more affordably than full basements. However, as crawl space technology continues to evolve, it quickly became apparent how primitive early crawl spaces were designed. If you own a home that was built around this time, you may want to take a peek at your crawl space to see what improvements have been made since the original construction.
The crawl space vents, formerly required by older building codes as a way to keep the area dry by allowing outside air in, were actually causing more problems than they solved. Common crawl space problems from this era include structural decay, mold, and pest problems. Modern building codes now recommend sealed, instead of vented crawl spaces.

Signs Your Crawl Space Needs Repairs
Groundwater Intrusion
When crawl spaces are improperly graded and there is no way to channel and divert groundwater away from them, standing water is sure to become a problem. Healthy Basement Concepts of Cincinnati’s crawl space repair and waterproofing experts install custom designed solutions that will make standing water a thing of the past.
The dirt floor in crawl spaces allows water to evaporate in the space, and the crawl space vents, originally thought to allow moisture to dry, are aggravating the problem by allowing humid outside air in. Our advanced crawl space encapsulation system is designed to effectively address all sources of moisture.
Every environment where relative humidity is at or above 60% is a breeding ground for mold and dry rot. Crawl spaces are notorious for having serious moisture problems that cannot be solved with vents, crawl space vent fans, and a thin plastic sheet on the floor to serve as a vapor barrier. Our crawl space moisture control solutions are backed by modern building science.
Vented crawl spaces that remain untreated for too long will eventually start to show signs of structural decay. Mold, dry rot, and moisture loving pests such as termites thrive in such environments. Bouncy or sagging floors are some of the tell-tale signs of structural decay. Our team offers several solutions to repair structural damage in your home’s crawl space.

Customer Reviews
steven wolfenbergerMay 2, 2023Jason called the same day that I requested info. They were able to come over a few days later for an inspection and estimate. Jason explained what was causing the issues with our basement and then showed us the best options to fix the problem. There was no pressure to hire them and he didn't try to upsell us anything we didn't need. Jason and his team were able to come the following week and fix our basement. It took them a little less than 2 days to complete the job. Jason kept us updated during the whole process. We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend Jason and Healthy Basement Concepts.Joseph GrotheMarch 28, 2023healthy basements just water sealed my basement. They did a great job and where very fast. They finished the job in two days. Healthy Basements Concepts is great value. highly recommend.Paul D HindsMarch 20, 2023Stop. Read this review. After having six companies come bid a project with me, and being told by each company that I needed to do something else to fix the issue, there were only two companies that came out to quote me that didn't hesitate to roll up their sleeves and start trying to identify the root cause. Some of the quotes were upwards of $50k (I'm looking at you, EverDry), and others just quoted me for what I said I "thought" I needed. The moral of the story is, what I thought I needed, Jason found out was only part of the case and showed me why through a series of pictures he took. (Oh, and if you're curious, he was less than 1/3 of the huge quote. I told him it was still too expensive, and he told me exactly what I needed done immediately, and what could wait.) I mean, cmon, HBC sent me a thank you card THE NEXT DAY after completing the work. They thanked ME for the opportunity to solve my problem. There are companies that might quote less, but for my money, Jason Fry is a man of his word, and I trust his word completely.Larry DawesFebruary 21, 2023Had water coming in basement in one area and they came out and looked at the area where the water was coming in and showed me where it was and told me it was something they did not fix but told me where to buy the water stopper and I could do it myself. I was impressed by his honestly and professional advice. If anyone is looking for water leak companies I would highly recommend giving them a call.Fred CookJanuary 31, 2023I don't typically write reviews, but these guys really deserve it. Responsive, prompt, knowledgeable, detailed... they did a great job for a fair price and we couldn't be more pleased. The addition of a supplemental beam has improved the feel of the floor and has insured no issues with the new kitchen island.Kristina LigonsNovember 20, 2022We woke up Labor Day Monday to wet carpet in our basement after a very rainy weekend. Even on the holiday, Jason answered the phone and helped us figure out next steps. He came and looked at the situation the following Friday and gave us quotes and a test to perform to figure out exactly where the water was coming from. We ended up having a crack in the basement wall. In that time we also had a death in the family so we had to put everything on the back burner. Jason was very understanding and helped us pick right back up when we were ready to move forward over a month later. His crew came to our house in Fairfield and were incredibly professional. They kept the area they were working in very clean and put down tarps to keep the rest of our house clean too. I would highly recommend Healthy Basement Concepts!Adam BrandnerNovember 15, 2022I decided to encapsulate two crawlspaces at my home because the rooms above them were very cold in the winter. Additional annoyances were that both crawlspaces were dark, dirty areas that weren't usable for storage, and I worried about them harboring pests. It was more expensive they I'd imagined, but you really get what you pay for! Both spaces are now clean and bright, which has reduced clutter in my basement because we can store all of our seasonal items in the crawlspaces. The temperature issue was addressed effectively as well; both rooms above the crawlspaces are now pleasant in the winter. What I wasn't prepared for was how much of a difference it made in the summer. My sunroom went from being pretty hot every afternoon to feeling just a few degrees warmer than the main house. I didn't realize how much impact that sealing the exterior vents in the crawlspace below it would have during the summer months. Jason's team was hardworking, professional, and a joy to work with. I'd highly recommend them for this type of project.leigh clarkOctober 16, 2022Jason made clear about what needed to be done to clean and repair my crawl space properly. Did the job in a timely manner and the area was cleaner and healthier when the job was finished. Great workmanship reasonably priced. I am very happy with their work. Highly recommend Healthy Basement Concepts!
