Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation
Crawl space sagging is one of the more common issues we see with foundation problems. Crawl spaces are an important part of keeping your home structurally sound, and if they begin to sag, it can cause a great deal of damage. Baker's Waterproofing offers solutions to fix sagging crawl spaces, and even help prevent it from happening again in the future. One of the ways we repair sagging crawl spaces is by installing our Smartjack® Crawl Space Support system. This was designed to permanently support floor joists in your crawl space so you won't have to worry about more crawl space repairs in the future. If you want to learn more about crawl space repair in Morgantown, call or click today!
Another common crawl space issue we find is a lack of a barrier between the ground and the rest of the crawl space. Your entire home may be compromised if there is no vapor barrier between your crawl space and the floor. An exposed floor will damage the space over time as it promotes mold and mildew growth. This can cause your floorboards and support beams to rot and decay. We can not only encapsulate your crawl sapce but also add valuable crawl space insulation. Vents or gaps in your crawl space allow cold air to come into the space which will then rise throughout your home increasing your energy bills and making your home less comfortable.

Water Damage & Basement Waterproofing Specialists
Does your Morgantown home experience flooding or water damage in the basement? The experts at Baker's Waterproofing can help! We provide reliable basement waterproofing and restoration services designed to permanently keep your basement dry. We offer quality products including our patented French drainage systems including our popular WaterGuard® Below-Floor Drain. Our WaterGuard® drainage system is designed to be installed below the floor slab, and rests on top of the footing of the foundation. This allows any water that gets into the basement to be captured and pumped out using one of our patented sump pumps. As Morgantown's water damage repair, restoration, and waterproofing expert, we take pride in providing the best service possible, and you can trust that we will perform the job the right way.
In addition to basements, we also offer waterproofing solutions for crawl spaces. Did you know that crawl spaces are one of the most neglected areas of any home, and are very prone to moisture? Because of this, we have developed a crawl space sealing system. Our CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system helps prevent moisture from getting into your crawl space, which will keep the area dry and free of mold.

A horizontal crack developed in a basement wall, and eventually extended to either end of the 63-foot wall. Small horizontal cracking near the middle of the wall is one of the first symptoms of a bowing wall. As extreme pressure from outside soil continued, the wall began to bow up to 2 inches before a homeowner in Morgantown, WV called us to schedule a free in-home inspection.
Our Service Advisor learned that the married couple's main concern was the safety of their home. This serious foundation problem put their quality of life at risk. Luckily, they found a solution that they could trust, our proven Geo-Lock wall anchor system.
This system is their best opportunity to straighten the wall over time, and, most importantly, solve this issue once and for all. Now, their foundation wall is permanently stabilized, giving them the chance to breathe easy in their safe home.
A Morgantown, WV homeowner wanted to address the problematic crawl space in his home. He has lived in Morgantown over 17 years, and recently identified that the area needed repairs. He called our office to schedule a free inspection.
Our Certified Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Specialist, Jesse Pitcock, inspected the inside and outside of the house. Jesse identified the problem and used the homeowner's concerns to design a custom crawl space solution. In this job, mold prevention was of utmost priority.
At a later date, our crew, led by Foreman Ken Kahlbaugh, installed our patented, proven products. Ken and his crewman encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. They installed a crawl space floor drain to protect the crawl space from flooding, in this case, in the event of a plumbing leak.
In the basement, the crew installed our SaniDry Sedona. This dehumidifier drains automatically and has a humidity sensor that monitors the air, so once it's installed, there's nothing else to do. Ken and his crewman tied the Sedona into the existing floor drain.
The homeowner can now enjoy a healthier home!
The side wall of this Morgantown, WV basement needed to be stabilized. The back wall had cracked in the center and was bowing inwards. Homeowners Todd and Heather called Baker’s for a way to restoring the wall.
In August of 2014 Service Advisor Shawn Evans inspected and proposed our most recommended wall restoration system, Geo Lock wall anchors. These anchors utilize the inerior and exterior sides of the wall. Shawn also had our CleanSpace wall liner applied over top once the anchors were installed. The liner will have the ability to have drywall applied overtop to finish the basement.

Richard of Morgantown had a giant 3346 sq. ft. crawl space that was looking pretty gross to say the least. It was dirty, damp, and now even moldy. Upset, Richard called Baker’s Waterproofing for a way to encapsulate his crawl space.
After the free inspection his service advisor was able to determine the best possible solution to addressing all the issues Richard was having in his crawl space. To encapsulate, 3356 sq. ft. of CleanSpace crawl space liner was applied to the entire area. To address the mold and odor first Mold X Cleaner was sprayed to the affected areas. We also installed 2 SaniDry dehumidifying and air filtration systems. SaniDry dehumidifiers are at their best under the worst basement conditions. All the key components in a SaniDry dehumidifier (coil, fan & condenser) are much larger than the components used in household models. We also installed 3 SmartPumps. SmartPumps are specifically designed to pump water out of crawl spaces, while at the same time, are effective to keeping the liner's air tight seal.
After the installation of these patented products it is easy to see that Richard was very happy that his crawl space was odor free and waterproofed!
