Does your crawl space look like this? Falling insulation and standing water?
When it comes to protecting your home, moisture problems are more than just a nuisance—they can open the floodgates to pest infestations, mold, and structural damage. At Clegg’s Pest Control, our expertise goes beyond battling bugs. We’re proud to offer comprehensive moisture control services, removing excess water, preventing future moisture buildup, and installing custom solutions designed to protect your home for years to come.
Why is this important? Because pests love damp places. Mosquitoes, ants, termites, cockroaches, and stinging insects all thrive in humid, wet environments. If your basement feels damp, your crawlspace has standing water, or you’re constantly fighting musty odors, your home may be at risk. Lucky for you, Clegg’s offers a free moisture control inspection to help identify problem areas before serious damage sets in.
Why Moisture Control Matters
Excess moisture can create the perfect storm for a variety of issues:
- Mold and mildew growth, impacting air quality and respiratory health
- Wood rot and structural weakening
- Rust and corrosion of HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems
- Pest infestations, especially termites and mosquitoes
Many homeowners think of moisture control as an afterthought, something to deal with only once visible damage sets in. But taking a proactive approach can save thousands of dollars in repairs and prevent serious long-term problems. That’s where Clegg’s comes in.

What Moisture Control Looks Like with Clegg’s
Our team of experts will inspect your property and recommend the best mix of moisture control solutions tailored to your space. Here’s what we offer:
Sump Pumps
A sump pump is your first line of defense against flooding and water buildup. Installed in a custom-dug pit, the pump activates when excess water accumulates, diverting it safely away from your home. Whether from rain, groundwater, or plumbing leaks, sump pumps keep your crawlspace dry and protected.
French Drain Systems
French drains work like underground gutters, channeling water away from your home’s foundation. Ideal for homes that see frequent pooling after storms, these systems use trenches, gravel, and perforated piping to redirect water safely out of harm’s way.
Moisture “Vapor” Barriers
A moisture “vapor” barrier is a thick, impermeable sheet installed in your crawlspace to stop moisture from entering. Unlike sump pumps or drains, vapor barriers act as a prevention tool, keeping your home dry and pest-free by blocking water vapor from rising from the ground.
Dehumidifiers
In humid climates like North Carolina, a dehumidifier is a must. We install crawlspace dehumidifiers that pull moisture out of the air, regulating humidity levels and reducing the risk of mold and pest activity. Bonus: they also improve energy efficiency and indoor air quality.
Crawl Door Installation
A missing or broken crawlspace door can allow moisture, pests, and even wildlife into your home. We custom-build crawl doors to secure your foundation and seal out unwanted elements.
ComfortTherm Insulation
Damaged insulation doesn’t just lose effectiveness—it can trap moisture and harbor pests. ComfortTherm Insulation is encapsulated fiberglass insulation wrapped in protective plastic. Twice as moisture-resistant as some competitor products, it helps control noise, improve energy efficiency, and is formaldehyde-free with a fire-resistant facing. ComfortTherm Insulation is designed to protect your home from moisture, improve comfort, and add long-term value. Clegg’s is proud to be a certified provider of these advanced insulation solutions.

Moisture + Pests: What You Need to Know
Pests love moisture, plain and simple. If your home has damp areas, it becomes a hotspot for:
– Mosquitoes breeding in standing water
– Ants seeking water sources and building nests
– Termites feeding on moist, weakened wood
– Stinging insects that nest in soft, wet soil or crawlspaces
By addressing the moisture, you cut off their habitat before the infestation begins. Our team can pair moisture services with targeted pest control solutions for complete home protection.
