Crawl Space Encapsulation & Repair in Columbus, GA
Other than maybe containing HVAC equipment, your crawl space is a damp, dark area that you most likely never visit. However, your crawl space does have the important job of supporting everything above it. Crawl spaces are commonly built without any waterproofing and, until recently, were constructed with vents that trap Columbus’s hot, humid air and allow it to travel throughout your home.
Because the crawl space may be difficult to access, it’s best to have a skilled expert at AFS Foundation & Waterproofing Specialists take a look. We will precisely identify the problems in your crawl space and their underlying causes before implementing long-term repair and encapsulation solutions that are ensured to keep your crawl space secure and safe.
The AFS Repair Process
Crawl Space Problem Signs in Columbus, GA
Depending on your crawl space, it could be dangerous for you to explore and diagnose problems. The good news is there are plenty of problem signs noticeable in the living areas of your home. If you notice sagging floors, musty odors, high crawl space humidity, increased bugs, and high energy bills scheduling a free inspection with AFS is your next step. They will do a full inspection inside the crawl space and be able to evaluate any crawl space flooding, wood rot, or persistent moisture in your crawl space. From there, they can provide a repair estimate.
Causes of Crawl Space Damage in Columbus, GA
Although there are several common causes of crawl space problem signs, one of the most serious causes is the open vents. It was believed years ago that these vents helped circulate air to keep crawl spaces dry and healthy. However, we now know that the air quickly becomes trapped, and rather than flowing back out through the vents, it travels up into the home. In addition to being humid, this air also contains mold and pest droppings because these items are frequently found inside the crawl space. Columbus’ clay soil expands easily; given the area’s nearly 50 inches of rainfall annually, the ground is often saturated. This puts pressure on crawl space walls, causing them to crack, and allows rainwater to enter.
Crawl Space Repair Solutions in Columbus, GA
While there are plenty of do-it-yourself repairs online, crawl space encapsulation and repair is really something that should be left in the hands of professionals. Each crawl space requires a unique system to combat specific needs. For example, while some deal with groundwater problems and a full waterproofing system is necessary, others need to eliminate high humidity and condensation and require an energy-efficient dehumidifier.
In general, all crawl spaces need to be sealed, meaning vents and loose doors are sealed to stop outside air and moisture from entering. Our crawl space encapsulation process and premium vapor barrier does just that. All our products are made in America and come with nationally backed, long-term warranties.

We hired AFS to stabilize our outdoor fireplace that was falling backwards due to the soft ground giving way. Bailey C and Denzel Q were extremely professional and did an amazing job. They took the time to explain exactly what they were going to do and showed us their progress along the way. They were extremely respectful and took great care to not disturb our yard. We are very pleased with their work. Sorry I don’t have any before pictures but it was leaning against the fence before the fixed it.

After researching crawl space contractors , I decided to contact AFS for an inspection of our 70+ year old house. The inspector, Mr. Landon Tidwell, was very knowledgeable and professional. He spent a significant amount of time with us, explaining the processes used by his company, inspecting the crawl space and then presenting a proposal for repair and mitigation of future damage. AFS is a top notch company.
