The sealed system
How does crawl space encapsulation work in Bellevue?
Bellevue runs from the loess uplands down to the Missouri River flood plain, and a crawl space on the lower ground can take on water as well as damp air. Epp builds the encapsulation around what the inspection finds. Where water gets in after a storm, the flooding crawl space is drained first: a sump for the sealed crawl and drainage matting go down, then a liner sealed at the seams, closed vents and a dehumidifier finish the system. If the floor above has sagged, that is Bellevue crawl space repair, and it comes before the seal.
Problem signs

The signs tied to water in the ground come first here. Based on USDA soil survey data, Sarpy County soil is about 56 percent clay, and clay can hold water against a wall after rain.
Bellevue housing
When were Bellevue homes built?
Bellevue has about 25,601 homes, and the median one was built in 1979, based on U.S. Census Bureau survey data. Roughly 52 percent went up before 1980, 16 percent before 1960.
In an older crawl space, a thin plastic sheet laid years ago can tear and pull apart at the seams. The inspection checks the cover on the soil, the vents and any water on the floor.
Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for Omaha Eppley Airfield, about 12 miles away, precipitation averages 31.9 inches a year. Based on the same NOAA normals for Bellevue Offutt Air Force Base, about 2 miles away, the average July dew point is 67 degrees. In a vented crawl space, water can condense on any pipe, duct or joist that is cooler than 67 degrees.

"Every fiberglass batt I've pulled out from between crawl joists in Nebraska and Iowa across more than two decades has looked the same. Wet, heavy, blackened on the bottom, and sitting on the dirt floor where it fell. The industry figured out 20 years ago that wall insulation in a sealed crawl is the right answer. The product lasts, the thermal break works, and you stop chasing cold floors upstairs every January."

What Omaha customers say
My home had some problems with water in our basement and Epp foundation repair was able to come and fix it. Sam and his team was very professional and got the work done fast. He was very kind and managed the work well. Now our basement is dry and we have no problems. If you are in the Lincoln area and have home repair needs I recommend Epp foundation repair.
Really great work! They got in and out in 2 days time and were very easy to work with and all super nice. Very informative and answered all our questions!!
Brenton and Sam were both really great to work with. I felt like everything was well explained & the whole process was quick and seamless.
