Crawl Space Mold
Epp Foundation Repair has diagnosed crawl space moisture conditions across Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri since 1994. Mold spores exist in every crawl space. They only colonize when humidity stays above 60% for 48 hours or more.

Deteriorating Insulation
Fiberglass batts drooping between your floor joists or falling to the crawl space dirt. The insulation itself is the symptom. The cause is humid air and ground moisture that the insulation can no longer hold back.

Groundwater Seepage
Epp Foundation Repair has been installing interior crawl space drainage and sump systems across Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri since 1994. The only permanent answer to seepage driven by a high spring water table.

High Energy Bills
Heating and cooling costs creeping up while your thermostat stays the same. A damp, vented crawl space pulls in outside air and lets conditioned air leak out through the floor. Your system runs longer to make up the difference.

Moisture in Crawl Space
Epp Foundation Repair has been encapsulating crawl spaces across Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri since 1994, dropping relative humidity from 75%+ down to a stable 50 to 55%. The threshold where mold cannot colonize.

Musty Odors
Epp Foundation Repair has traced musty odor complaints to crawl moisture in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri homes for more than 30 years. The stack effect pulls a large share of the air you breathe upstairs from the crawl below.

Pests & Rodents
Epp Foundation Repair has been sealing crawl space entry points across Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri since 1994. Encapsulation removes the open vents, dirt-floor burrows, and moisture that attract pests in the first place.

Sagging Crawl Space
Floors that bounce, dip toward the center of a room, or feel soft when you walk. The framing over your crawl space is no longer fully supported. The longer the wood carries that load unsupported, the more it deflects.

Sagging Floors
You feel this symptom upstairs long before you see its cause. Epp Foundation Repair walks the crawl space first to find out why the floor above it is moving.

Standing Water
Epp Foundation Repair has been installing emergency crawl space waterproofing systems across Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri since 1994. Mold colonization begins on saturated joists within 48 to 72 hours of standing water.
