Our Moisture Control Services
We offer two proven moisture control solutions, which we tailor to every customer who puts their trust in us.
Vapor Barrier Installation
We install heavy-duty plastic sheeting across crawlspaces to prevent moisture and water vapor in the soil from entering them. This creates a protective barrier that reduces humidity, discourages pest activity, and helps prevent mold growth.
Vapor barriers are an excellent solution for homeowners looking to address moisture issues coming primarily from the ground. This service is more budget-friendly than full encapsulation, but it still delivers meaningful protection against excess moisture.
The Benefits of Moisture Control
Investing in professional moisture control delivers numerous benefits, from protecting your property to supporting your family’s well-being. We offer more details below.
Healthier Indoor Air Quality
When moisture accumulates below your home, it can create ideal conditions for mold and mildew growth. These contaminants release spores and musty odors that circulate throughout your living spaces, potentially causing respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems. Moisture control stops this cycle at its source and gives you greater peace of mind about the air your family breathes.
Protection from Structural Damage
Moisture causes wood beams, floor joists, and other structural components to rot and deteriorate. By controlling moisture, you can preserve the strength and stability of your home's foundation and avoid costly repairs later on.
Pest Prevention
Damp crawlspaces attract termites, carpenter ants, cockroaches, rodents, and other pests that thrive in moist environments. Moisture control makes your crawlspace far less appealing to these unwanted invaders, reducing your risk of infestations and supporting the effectiveness of our pest control services for more than 170 different pests.
Lower Energy Bills
Excess moisture makes your heating and cooling systems work harder to maintain comfortable temperatures. A properly sealed crawlspace improves your home's energy efficiency, which translates to lower utility costs throughout the year.
Increased Home Value
A dry, properly maintained crawlspace is an attractive feature for potential buyers. It demonstrates that your home has been well-maintained and that they won't inherit moisture-related problems, which can be especially important during real estate transactions that may also require termite and moisture reports.
Prevention of Floor Damage
Moisture rising from below can cause hardwood floors to warp, buckle, and deteriorate. It can also damage carpet, tile, and other flooring materials. Moisture control protects your flooring investment from underneath.
Get Started with a Free Inspection
Every home is different, and every moisture problem requires a customized solution. That's why we begin every project with a thorough inspection of your crawlspace.
During your free inspection, our experienced technicians will assess your crawlspace conditions, identify moisture sources, evaluate existing damage, and recommend the most effective solution for your specific situation. Then, we'll explain your options clearly and help you choose the right one for your needs and budget, with flexible service plans and scheduling to fit your routine.
Don't let moisture damage your home's foundation, compromise your family's health, or cost you thousands in repairs.

Since Termites live one to sixteen feet underneath the soil, we generally don't see them until it's too late. Termites live in colonies underneath the soil and travel to wood sources using a scent trail. It's recommended that you at least have an Annual Termite Inspection done on the home. Here at Landlock, we also can help you take the steps to preventing your home against Termites. Ask us today about our Termite Prevention Plans!

There's often many areas around the exterior parts of the home that act as a pest attractant or areas that are conducive to pests. These could include, but certainly aren't limited to vents, windows, gutters, eaves, or debris and landscaping around the home, etc. While applying the treatment around the home, our technicians will also thoroughly inspect the exterior of the home looking for any problematic areas that could be drawing in more pests, as well as keeping an eye out for anything that should be brought to your attention as the homeowner.
