Crawl Space Inspections in Riceboro
Why Riceboro homes need this, and how we do it
Riceboro is a small city on US-17 built on former rice-field lowland and marsh, where the water table runs high and many homes have stood for decades. Ground that once held rice fields stays wet, so a crawl space here can read damp and older wood can carry the effects of years of moisture, and we measure it before recommending anything.
A technician reads the subfloor, joists and girders for moisture, logs the humidity and temperature, and checks every post, pier and girder for rot, crushing or movement. We note any existing vapor barrier, drainage or sump, then review the vents, grading and downspouts around the home.
Photos of every problem area go into a written report with prioritized repairs and fixed pricing. On older homes over wet ground the report often flags long-standing moisture damage, and the inspection is free with no obligation.

Questions Riceboro homeowners ask us
We're on old rice-field land off 17 in Riceboro, is that high water table flooding my crawl?
Former rice-field lowland comes with a high water table that can leave water or dampness under the house. We check for both and give you a free written report with photos.
The ground stays soggy around our place, could that be rotting the wood underneath?
Soggy ground raises moisture in the crawl and can rot joists and girders, so we check the wood. It's a free inspection with a written report and fixed pricing.
Is standing water under a Riceboro house common with this kind of land?
It's common on former rice-field ground with a high water table, so we look for it and review drainage. You get a free written report with photos on what we find.
The floors feel a bit soft, is the water table to blame for that?
Soft floors often mean moisture from the high water table has reached the joists below. We take the readings and give you a free written report with fixed pricing.
What does the free crawl check cover for a house on old rice-field land?
We take moisture readings, log humidity, check piers and posts for rot, and review your drainage and barrier. It all comes in a free written report with photos.
“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.”
