Crawl Space Encapsulation in Georgetown

Old Stone Foundations Meet a High Water Table

Georgetown's Federal-era rowhouses sit on stone foundations laid two centuries ago — beautiful, and porous. The neighborhood sits low near the Potomac, so the water table runs high. Ground moisture pushes through those old stone walls all year. If your Georgetown crawl space smells like a damp cellar, that is why.

What We See in Georgetown

Shallow crawl spaces with barely enough room to move. Dirt floors that never fully dry. Efflorescence — the white crusty stains — on the stone walls where water migrates through. And in the lowest blocks, actual seepage after heavy rains. These spaces need drainage first, then sealing.

Working in Historic Homes

We do this work without disturbing what makes these houses special. Everything happens inside the crawl space — no exterior digging, no changes to the facade. The vapor barrier, drainage, and dehumidifier all live under the house, invisible from the street.
