Crawl Space Inspections in Midway
Why Midway homes need this, and how we do it
The land between Midway and Sunbury is flat, low and edged with tidal marsh, only a few feet above mean high water. When a spring tide meets heavy rain, the water table rises to within inches of the surface and crawl spaces fill from below. So an inspection here reads moisture across the space and looks closely at where water pools and how it drains.
Because those crawl spaces often sit at or slightly below the surrounding grade, water can stand under a house for days after the yard looks dry. We check the sills, band joists and posts for the rot that standing water causes, look for subterranean termite activity, and note where humidity has been cupping the hardwood upstairs.
It all gets photographed and written down, with the drainage problem laid out plainly. On the marsh edge the report almost always shows that grading and drainage come before sealing, and we set that order out. If the home needs nothing yet, we tell you and you keep the report.

Questions Midway homeowners ask us
We back right up to the marsh, is the tide pushing water under our Midway house?
Marsh-edge homes often get tidal water or damp soil under them, so we check for standing water and rot. The inspection is free and comes with a written report and photos.
Our floors are cupping in the back rooms, is that from moisture underneath?
Cupping floorboards usually mean high moisture rising from the crawl space below. We log the moisture and humidity down there and give you a free written report with fixed pricing.
There's standing water under the house after it rains, can y'all tell me how to stop it?
Standing water points to drainage and grading issues we can pinpoint and price for you. It's a free inspection with a written report, photos, and fixed pricing.
Living this close to the tides, how often should the crawl get looked at?
Near the marsh with regular tides, a look every year or two catches moisture problems early. We do the inspection and written report at no charge whenever you'd like.
What do y'all actually check for under a house right on the marsh?
We take moisture readings on the subfloor and joists, log humidity, check piers and posts for rot, and review your drainage and barrier. It all goes in a free written report.
“Our floors had gotten soft and the whole downstairs smelled musty. They inspected the crawl space, showed us photos of the rot and moisture, and fully encapsulated it. The smell is gone, the floors feel solid, and our humidity finally stays under control.”
