With our waterproofing services, you can trust that your crawl space will remain dry, improving your home’s air quality and overall foundation health.

Crawl Space Encapsulation

Crawl space encapsulation is a holistic method to safeguard your crawl space from moisture, pests, and other external factors. It involves thoroughly cleaning the area, repairing any existing damage, installing a polyethylene barrier, sealing all seams, insulating the space, and finally, installing a dehumidifier to control moisture levels.

The advantages of this process are numerous, including improved indoor air quality, energy savings, pest control, increased home value, and enhanced foundation protection. It is important that this process is carried out by professionals to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Sump Pump Installation

Installing a sump pump is a crucial component in keeping your crawl space dry and safe, especially in areas with high groundwater levels or prone to flooding. It functions by collecting excess water accumulating in a sump basin and pumping it away from your house. This prevents water damage and the growth of mold and mildew.

Our installation services for crawl space sump pumps are designed to provide you with a reliable and efficient solution to water accumulation issues. Our skilled team will assess your specific needs, recommend the most suitable sump pump model, and install it with precision and care. We guarantee proper placement, secure piping, and optimal operation, giving you peace of mind.

French Drain Installation

French drain installation is a crucial service for homeowners who want to protect their crawl space from water damage. At Elite Moisture Solutions, our team of experts has developed a comprehensive process to install French drains.

This process includes identifying the source of the problem, excavating a trench around the affected area, and installing a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel that channels water away from your home. We have extensive knowledge and experience in this field, and you can rest assured that Elite Moisture Solutions will provide the best solution to protect your home.

Vapor Barrier Installation

It is crucial to have a proper vapor barrier to prevent moisture from seeping into your crawl space walls, which can lead to mold growth, structural damage, and other costly and potentially hazardous issues. We are dedicated to providing high-quality vapor barrier installation services to our clients in Raleigh, NC, and beyond.

Our process begins with a thorough assessment of your crawl space to determine the best type of barrier for your specific needs. We then proceed with meticulous and professional installation, ensuring complete protection against moisture. You can trust us to safeguard your property with the best possible vapor barrier installation.

				After getting several evaluations and quotes for crawl space encapsulation, we chose Elite Moisture Solutions based on the online reviews and our interactions with Chris. Chris spent sufficient time to explain the best solution for us, including the work plan, quote, timing, and warranties. Ben and his team arrived on time each of the 4 days, met us in the morning to explain the day's work, and at the end of each day to give us an update. All the work was executed as explained and on time. Chris, Ben, and team were professional from the first minute to the last without exception. Chris was immediately responsive by text every time before, during, and afterward. In the end, I'm very happy with EMS and recommend them unconditionally. Thank you! Al

				Fantastic work. They did a foundation and crawl space inspection and recommended a full time encapsulation. The were not the cheapest estimate we received but the professionalism from start to finish made every penny worth it. They do great work!!! I’ve already noticed a huge difference in the house and the flooring that was starting to warp has already almost went back to normal due the the moisture in the crawl space being taken care of.

				Very pleased with the work I got done by Elite Moisture Solutions from start to finish. Starting from my experience with Kaya booking my quote, Chris (the owner) coming out for the inspection and walking me through the options, and Ben, Christian, and Edward getting my crawlspace mold free and encapsulated. The entire team is super professional and they did a great job. Highly recommend Elite Moisture Solutions to any one needing mold remediation or crawlspace encapsulation.

				I began researching how to best treat for high humidity in my 23 y/o house and crawlspace with the problems of condensation and wood mold and drooping floor insulation in the crawlspace caused by this situation. Then after interviewing 4 companies I chose Elite Moisture Solutions. All companies were comparable in price and had few differences in the materials they used to encapsulate. Chris, the owner of Elite was easy to talk to, timely in answering my request for an evaluation and seemed knowledgeable about the materials and policies of this largely unregulated industry with relatively new companies entering. I have concerns about the lack of skills and training in many businesses compared with 30 years ago. Chris allayed my concerns by describing his team and their training and longevity within his company. The process was scheduled within 2 weeks. The team under the management of Ben were exceptional, working together cohesively with respect for each other, with clear concise instructions from Ben who was diligent and answered my every question. This is a huge exhausting job and yet the team worked cheerfully anticipating what would be needed next. They removed insulation and the inadequate vapor barrier, leveled the ground, disinfected the mildew all prior to sealing the vents, insulating the walls and covering the floor then installing the new dehumidifier. Research revealed that air in our first level of the home is permeated with air from the crawl space. This was confirmed the night we slept without the vapor barrier when it smelled like we were camping on dirt! Of course now the house has low humidity and no odors since all has been sealed. It is difficult to think about what a nice vacation I could have taken with the cost of this project but it was the right thing to do for our own health and for the best resale of our home one day. I am so thankful to Chris, Ben, Shaliek and Kaya at Elite Moisture Solutions for their commitment to doing Quality work with integrity. Thank you.

				I originally reached out to EMS as a 3rd candidate for a quote to encapsulate my crawlspace. After speaking in detail with Robert, I found him and the entire team at EMS to be extremely helpful in better understanding what my options were and the price point was perfect for my budget. The team worked quickly, cleaning out old insulation, clearing out any mold that was present, and sealing an entire 2700sqft space in 4 days. I would highly recommend EMS for their responsive nature and professionalism. Overall, they are your best option in this area if you're looking for a great team to work with on your project.

				I hired Elite Moisture Systems to encapsulate the crawl space under my home. Actually, I began by asking Elite and three other companies to assess the situation under my home after being told by my flooring contractors that wood rot and mold issues existed. I knew next to nothing about the conditions under a house here in hot and humid North Carolina. Over the next few weeks, I was properly educated. The four companies, including Elite came out and gave me feedback after examining the crawl space. Three were extremely professional, and all three gave a similar diagnosis about what needed to be done. I received four bids to correct the existing issues. Elite Moisture Systems' bid was not the least expensive or the most expensive. It was, however, the most comprehensive and the one that seemed most likely to correct the problems in the short-term and in the long-term. Chris Toro, the company owner, spoke to me on several occasions and answered my questions in a respectful manner in spite of my lack of knowledge. He educated me about encapsulation, mold remediation, wood moisture levels, etc. I did my own research to verify that what he was telling me was factual. It was. The crew who did the project consisted of Shaliek, Jeziah, and Dylan. They arrived punctually for five straight days and worked diligently to do the work called for in our contract. They cleaned the crawl space, removed old insulation, eradicated existing mold, lined the crawl space floor, insulated the foundation walls, dug a French drain, added a sump pump, installed a dehumidifier, etc. (Not necessarily in that order). After all that they cleaned up and hauled away the trash created. Shaliek spoke to me daily about what was being done and answered my questions. It's been about a month since the full encapsulation of my crawl space was completed. I can tell that my home is cooler inside, and I can see when I peak my head under the house that the work done was done well. I thank Chris, Shaliek and crew, and Elite Moisture Systems for the professional work they did, for the courteous and respectful interactions we shared, and for a dry crawl space for the foreseeable future absent rotting wood and mold right under my family's living space.
