Mold, Humidity, or Wood Rot in Your NC Home? It Could Be Your Crawlspace!

A young woman in a green t-shirt sits indoors, leaning on a cushion, holding a smartphone, and looking at the camera. A laptop and home decor are visible in the background.

If your North Carolina home smells musty, feels damp, or suffers from warped floors and allergy flare-ups, the root cause might be hidden below your feet. At Park’s Waterproofing, we specialize in crawlspace encapsulation and vapor barrier installation, helping homeowners in Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, and surrounding areas protect their properties from moisture-related damage.

Many homeowners overlook their crawlspace until a serious problem arises—such as mold growth, structural damage, or unexplained indoor humidity. However, in North Carolina’s humid climate, an unsealed crawlspace acts like a sponge, absorbing moisture from both the ground and the air. The good news? There’s a proven solution.

What Is Crawlspace Encapsulation?

Crawlspace encapsulation involves sealing the entire crawlspace with a heavy-duty vapor barrier, combined with insulation and moisture control systems. This creates a clean, dry environment under your home—cutting off the source of moisture intrusion that leads to common issues like mold, mildew, and wood rot.

At Park’s Waterproofing, we provide custom encapsulation systems using industry-grade materials and installation techniques that meet and exceed building codes across Salem-Winston, Lewisville, Clemmons, Kernersville, and neighboring cities.

The Hidden Risks of Moisture in Your Crawlspace

Crawlspaces are naturally prone to collecting moisture, especially in the Piedmont Triad’s humid summers and rainy winters. This damp environment invites a range of serious problems:

  • Mold and mildew growth, which can affect indoor air quality and trigger allergies
  • Wood rot, compromising floor joists, beams, and subflooring
  • Pest infestations, as bugs and rodents thrive in moist environments
  • Foundation damage, due to ongoing water intrusion and soil erosion
  • Increased energy bills, as moist air seeps into living areas and forces HVAC systems to work harder

Benefits of Crawlspace Encapsulation

Our clients throughout Winston-Salem and nearby counties choose encapsulation for its long-term value and protection. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Significant reduction in moisture intrusion, helping to stop mold, mildew, and rot before they start
  • Healthier indoor air, free from musty odors and airborne allergens circulating through your home
  • Improved energy efficiency, thanks to sealed insulation and stabilized interior temperatures
  • Extended structural life of your home’s foundation, joists, and flooring systems
  • Increased home value, with a clean, dry crawlspace that buyers love to see

What About Vapor Barriers?

Vapor barrier installation is a critical part of crawlspace encapsulation—and can even be installed as a standalone moisture-control measure. These heavy plastic sheets are laid over the soil and sealed to walls and columns, preventing ground moisture from entering the space.

Proper vapor barriers:

  • Prevent moisture buildup and reduce crawlspace humidity
  • Deter mold growth and pest activity
  • Support more stable indoor temperatures year-round
  • Help avoid the cost of major structural repairs

Courtney D.

I cannot say enough about Jody and his team of guys. Do yourself a favor and call them, but if you have other jobs schedule them last because they will set the bar so high everyone else will fall short. Jody himself came out a few times, and would text and call during the entire job checking in and making sure everything was going well. My house was actually a negative grade and they had to regrade all around the house, install a dehumidifier in the crawl space, installed new gutters and drains in the yard…they did so well I kept adding jobs! I have never come across this level of professionalism in this industry. I would call them again in a heartbeat!

Bryan B.

Jody saved us a ton of money by quickly and accurately diagnosing our wet basement issue as simply under-sized gutters. Instead of digging around the foundation and waterproofing, they installed new gutters, downspouts and drain lines, and our basement is now dry. Honest, professional, experienced, reasonably priced - give him a call before you have anyone start a waterproofing jobs you might not need.

Gail & Casey B.

We are pleased with the job at Granite Falls, NC. 5 star! The basement is dry and condensation is gone, bright white covering. The dehumidifier is hard at work, again thank you. The gutters are redirecting the rain waters. God bless you.

Debbie & Dave V.

We hired Parks’ Waterproofing to address a moisture issue in the basement of our log home in Buck Mountain. We were convinced during our initial meeting with Jody to go with his company based on the Waterproofing Lifetime Guarantee offered and other services his company provides such as hardscaping & landscaping. During the course of our waterproofing project and as we began to experience and appreciate the high quality of workmanship, we solicited Jody for ideas to expand the scope of the work into hardscaping and landscaping. As our confidence in Jody grew, we allowed him to incorporate his vision for our property that included a patio, a fire ring, retaining walls and walkways. His attention to planning and detail were impeccable. His cost-saving ideas were also much appreciated. Just as important to us was the professionalism of his field staff; they were extremely courteous and respectful of our property. The end result is spectacular; the quality of materials used and the fit and finish not only met but exceeded our expectations. We are very pleased with and proud of our new hardscape and landscape features, and of course the waterproofing system is working; keeping our basement dry and devoid of humidity. We recommend Parks’ Waterproofing to anyone.

Johnny E.

I would highly recommend Parks' Waterproofing for any work I had for them to do. Jody was good about coming to my home and looking at what was going on with water getting into my basement. Come to find out that had a bad down spout. Jody was good enough to show me this and the problem was an easy fix. Jody made a 40 mile trip and would not let me pay him. Thank you Jody.

Kara M.

We were having water in our basement every time it rained hard. We feared the worst, and called Parks’ Waterproofing for an estimate. After inspecting our basement, Jody told us that the issue was a $10 pipe that we could replace ourselves. He could have tried to sell us an expensive system that we didn’t need but he was honest. We are grateful for this honest business.

Matt R.

As a real estate agent in the Triad, I can tell you that many major issues found in homes originate from improper water management. The first time I met with the Parks' Waterproofing, I could tell that they were the real deal. This team really knows their stuff! Parks' Waterproofing installed their patented, lifetime warranty, free-flowing waterproofing system around the entire perimeter of a family member's house to prevent water under the house, which was causing a huge mold problem. I have also used Parks' Waterproofing to install below grade drainage for my gutter system, plus, adding a catch basin under my deck, and grading. They did an amazing job! 5/5, highly recommended to anyone!

Greg G.

If you are having water problems in your basement or house...CALL PARKS WATERPROOFING! Jody listens, takes detailed notes, then lays out a plan of attack to eliminate the issue. We made the mistake of hiring a General Contractor first because they had the time to come out sooner than Parks. Big mistake that cost my parents a great deal of money. Believe me, wait for Parks. It is worth the wait. Even though Parks was busy, he updated us weekly with a spreadsheet showing us exactly where we were on his list. We never had to call him. After he fixed our problem, which required a great deal of digging and grading, his team came out and landscaped those areas and planted grass seed. My parent's yard has never looked this good. My only complaint is that Jody will not tell me what his seed blend is or sell it to me. JODY, what is your secret??? I highly recommend Parks Waterproofing and on a personal note, Jody is a good man. He actually cares about his customer. Regards, Greg
