How we control crawl space moisture in Morehead City

Every job starts with a free crawl space inspection.

Vapor barriers

An impermeable layer keeps moisture out of the crawl space, protecting HVAC equipment, electrical panels and pipes that rust.

Drains and sump pumps

A french drain moves pooling water through a gravel trench and perforated pipe to a safer spot. A sump pump in a custom dug pit switches on when water rises and pumps it away.

Dehumidifiers

Pull excess humidity out of the crawl space and help control future wood moisture problems.

Insulation and crawl doors

We remove damaged insulation and install new, offer TAP blown attic insulation that also helps with pests, and build crawl doors to fit your space.

Moisture draws termites and cockroaches, so ask about termite control or cockroach control at the same visit.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was dreading the "wait at home and we'll be there eventually." The exact opposite happened. On time. On point. A polite knock on the door opened to a huge smile and extremely efficient work. Miller is the best in the business. Will recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Holly nailed it—Ben from the Greenville team provides top-tier customer service! He was so insightful and thorough during his visit. Not only did he resolve my main issue right away, but his attention to detail meant he caught and fixed another underlying problem on the spot. Clegg’s has always been prompt and reliable, but team members like Ben make them stand out. Extremely grateful for his help!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our house is in the woods and insects and mice are part of the cost of living there. Our Clegg’s technician is Auston, and he is incredibly helpful and thorough during routine treatments every three months. On the rare occasion we need to call between those regular visits, he always goes above and beyond to treat the source of the problem. I highly recommend Clegg’s.

Crawl space moisture questions from Morehead City

Why does a pest control company do moisture control?

Cockroaches, mosquitoes and termites are all drawn to moisture. Keeping the crawl space dry is a big part of keeping them out, so our Morehead City team handles both.

What is the difference between a vapor barrier and a french drain?

A vapor barrier stops moisture from getting into the crawl space at all. A french drain is a gravel trench with perforated pipe that carries water that pools after rain to a safer area.

When do I need a sump pump?

When water collects under the house from rain, flooding or water rising through the soil. The pump sits in a pit, senses water with a float or pressure sensor, and pumps it away from the house.

Can moisture cause mold in my house?

Yes. Extra moisture can lead to mold in closet corners, kitchens and bathrooms. The EPA guide to mold and moisture has more on how the two are linked.

What does moisture control cost on the Crystal Coast?

It depends on your crawl space and which fixes it needs, so we price it after the free inspection. Initial moisture control services are currently $100 off.
