I have seen a lot of these folks work on different residential house and they do a great job. Finally, got them do our crawl space. Ben lead the team and got the job done efficiently. His help Nick and Chris were respectful and clean with their work. Nick even pointed out some plumbing issues I might have in the future with a certain area. Thanks to him I got that figure out now. Chris was very efficient in his work, got the job done right and everyone kept the work area clean and tidy. They add an air system, drainage flooring, new crawl space doors. Even extra support, where needed under the house. I can’t believe they got all that done so quickly. Looks amazing too!

We are beyond pleased with our experience with Alpha Foundations! Our salesman, Ezekiel, was incredibly thorough in his inspection and so wonderfully patient with us as we asked him 1000+ questions about the products, process, and pricing. We especially appreciate how flexible and creative he was while helping us to create a solution that satisfied our needs and our budget – something that other companies we'd spoken with hadn't even tried to do. Our work permit was processed faster than expected, so we were given the option to move our install date up by 3 weeks! The work was completed just before Christmas, and what a gift it was. Steven, Chris, and Brandon did an absolutely phenomenal job and we are so grateful to have had such dedicated, attentive, and hard-working professionals for our job. They arrived right on time bright and early and got to work straight away installing 19 helical piers to support the lower half of our home. In order to access the foundation in some places they had to cut several holes in my concrete patio and remove a panel of my vinyl fence. After all of that plus a trip to the hardware store for a new hose they were still done by 4pm- and that includes an unparalleled cleanup job! The fence panel was back in place, all debris was removed, new concrete was poured and leveled, and all dirt was tamped back down. Honestly, my yard looked better after they left than it did when they arrived. HUGE thank you to everyone at Alpha Foundations! We are so happy that we chose this company and we recommend them for any foundation needs.

I wanted to take a moment to share my wonderful experience with Alpha Foundations, specifically with two outstanding employees–Tory and Blake–who came out this morning to address a sidewalk issue at my property. From start to finish, they were professional, courteous, and went above and beyond to ensure the repair was done right. Tory and Blake arrived on time and immediately got to work, assessing the situation with impressive attention to detail. They took the time to explain the process to me, ensuring I understood the repairs and what was needed. Throughout the job, they were respectful of my property and worked efficiently, all while maintaining a positive, can-do attitude. What really stood out was their dedication to quality. They not only repaired the sidewalk but made sure it was level and safe, taking extra care to ensure everything was done to the highest standards. It was clear they take great pride in their work, and their expertise really showed. I can't say enough about how great Tory and Blake were. It's rare to find such exceptional service, and I am truly grateful for their hard work.

Is Crawl Space Encapsulation the Right Solution For Me?
Homeowners in Florida and Georgia are too familiar with the musty smells and humidity from their crawl space. But just because it is common doesn’t make it okay. Crawl space problems like mildew and mold growth caused by moisture can lead to a whole host of problems.
More than 50 percent of the air you breathe comes from your crawl space, so it’s important to keep that space dry and clean.
Your crawl space is more important than you may think. Apart from offering a little extra space under your home, your crawl space also plays a huge part in your health and energy bills. Moisture in your crawl space leads to mold and musty odors plus pests—these problem signs greatly impact your home’s air quality, and elevated humidity causes homeowners to overuse their heating and cooling units, leading to outrageous energy bills.
Alpha Foundations have been sealing crawl spaces with their high-quality crawl space encapsulation system for more than 20 years. We recommend covering your crawl space floor with a vapor barrier, installing a waterproofing system, a sump pump, and in areas where humidity is especially high consider sealing block walls. This high-quality solution mechanically attaches to your concrete blocks, sealing humidity and pests out. A high-capacity, self-draining dehumidifier improves the air your family breathes and makes the whole home more comfortable.
More About Crawl Spaces
Crawl spaces are notorious for their sagging floors, humidity, odors, and flooding. You should call Alpha Foundations for assistance if you notice:
- Rotting wood beams and sagging floors
- Unusually high indoor humidity levels
- Worsening allergy symptoms due to increased humidity
- A musty scent that indicates crawl space moisture
- Increased utility bills and/or the HVAC unit working overtime
- Standing water
- Mold and mildew in your crawl space, basement, or on your first floor
- Condensation collecting on your joists, floors, or foundations
- Cracking foundation
- Pests in your home
Contractors tend to treat crawl spaces as an afterthought, so they often have inadequate support. If your crawl space isn’t encapsulated, mold and water issues could also lead to decaying beams and damaged supports. Soil and clay tend to settle and expand unevenly, but this damage can often be reversed. At Alpha Foundations, we use IntelliJack™ crawl space support posts to provide an effective, durable solution for leveling and stabilizing damaged crawl spaces.
Unencapsulated crawl spaces rarely allow for healthy drainage, so humidity can often transform into severe pooling. Perimeter drains can be placed around your walls and connect to a sump pump. This way, you can deal effectively with flooding. We can include flood alarms, submersible pumps, and vents in this service for a holistic, lasting solution.
Your crawl space is often the only buffer between your house and the earth below, so it has a severe effect on your indoor climate. Insulation can resolve any odor issues while helping your home to achieve a stable temperature. We’ll seal your crawl space with rigid foam insulation to ensure your home is comfortable and more energy-efficient.
Crawl space encapsulation is a quick and easy solution to leave you with a dry, clean crawl space. We use the CrawlSeal™ crawl space encapsulation system to seal off your crawl space from any moisture leaking in. Once your crawl space has been encapsulated, you can start enjoying the benefits. You’ll experience more comfortable air in your home and fewer pest problems, as well as increased energy efficiency to help you save on energy bills.
Muggy air is more than just uncomfortable. It has a direct effect on your health, causing overheating and exhaustion. Crawl spaces generate an average of 0.3 to 2.9 g/m in vapor excess, so it’s unsurprising that most homes that have them suffer from humidity problems. Your crawl space shouldn’t generate more than 55% humidity, but fortunately, there are solutions to resolve all that moisture. Alpha Foundations can fix your home with a crawl space dehumidifier. This will protect your home from fungi and mold overgrowth while simultaneously improving your interior climate.
Why Is Crawl Space Encapsulation Needed?
In Florida and Georgia, the weather, with its high humidity and frequent rain, makes protecting your crawl space even more important. Many crawl spaces still have open crawl space vents and exposed dirt floors. Here we discuss a few of the most common reasons for crawl space waterproofing and encapsulation.
Moisture, Water Damage
Moisture and water are your crawl space’s worst nightmare. Moisture can enter through open vents, a loose or cracked crawl space door, a plumbing leak, or condensation caused by humidity. Regardless of the reason, moisture can cause serious damage like wood rot, mildew, and mold.
Air Quality
Since nearly half the air you breathe comes from the crawl space, ensuring healthy air quality starts there. Both mold and mildew are detrimental, but pest excrement and dust can also cause respiratory problems, especially for those struggling with asthma and allergies.
Structural Integrity
Moisture in your crawl space is responsible for wood rot. Wood rot eats through wooden beams and supports in your crawl space. This causes the wood to weaken. When these important structural supports are damaged, your entire home’s integrity is at risk.
Common Crawl Space Tips & Mistakes
For many reasons, homeowners tend to ignore their crawl spaces until they absolutely need to address them. Over more than 20 years, Alpha Foundation has been helping Florida and Georgia homeowners regain confidence in their homes. Along the way, they have developed helpful tips and mistakes which they’ve noticed in the field.
Crawl Space Tips
- Increased Storage
Although it might not seem like it right now, a crawl space can be a wonderful place to store items like Christmas décor or seasonal outside activity equipment like skis or golf clubs. Once a crawl space encapsulation system is installed, the previously unusable space is transformed into a dry and clean storage area. New doors can be added for easy access if needed.
- Consider The Cost
We understand no one wants to spend money on crawl space repair but choosing the least expensive repair options isn’t always the best bet. If the benefits aren’t worth the cost, why bother? Typically, price depends on the size and condition of the crawl space. Skipping important elements to save cost may not allow you to enjoy the full benefits of an encapsulated crawl space.
- Eliminate Pests
Florida and Georgia homeowners are no stranger to pests in their homes. Frequent visits from the exterminator are likely. One thing to consider, the pests may be entering because your damp crawl space is so attractive to them. Once you seal your crawl space, you’ll be surprised how many fewer pests you have in your home.
Crawl Space Mistakes
- Not Maintaining the Space
Even the most advanced crawl space encapsulation system requires some amount of maintenance. Ensure your crawl space sump pump is in good condition, the vapor barrier hasn’t been damaged, and there are no plumbing leaks. It’s not unusual for crawl spaces to be difficult to get into. However, Alpha Foundation has annual maintenance programs that make the job worry and stress-free.
- Big Box Dehumidifiers
Even with the highest quality encapsulation systems, a dehumidifier may still be needed to remove excess water from the air, especially in humid areas like Florida and Georgia. Skip the big box store units that aren’t rated to remove nearly as much water and require constant attention. Our dehumidifiers are energy-efficient, self-draining, and remove up to 100 pints per day while filtering up to 280 cubic feet per minute.
- Not Repairing Leaking Plumbing
While crawl space encapsulation eliminates water entering from the walls and floor, plumbing leaks are a different story. Before investing in crawl space repair, ensure your pipes are properly inspected by a plumbing professional.
