Moisture Control in Augusta

Focused Crawl-Space Moisture Control for Augusta Homes

Excess humidity, leaks, and other moisture issues don’t call for the same corrective measures in every home. At Borden Pest Control, we plan our moisture control services around the conditions beneath your structure, whether the concern involves vapor from exposed soil, poor ventilation, or water collecting near your foundation.

We've seen excess moisture beneath our customers' homes contribute to wood rot and create conditions conducive to termite activity. Our goal is to identify the contributing condition and recommend focused work without presenting every homeowner with a broad package they may not need.

Call 803-398-4981 to schedule a free inspection and discuss the moisture conditions beneath your Augusta home.

Moisture-Control Options Based on the Source

Moisture Barriers for Exposed Soil
A moisture barrier is placed over exposed soil to limit the movement of ground vapor into the crawl space. It may be appropriate when soil vapor is the primary concern, but it isn’t intended to correct every drainage or ventilation condition.
Replacement Foundation Vents
Damaged, missing, or inadequate foundation vents can affect under-floor ventilation. We can replace foundation vents when their condition is contributing to the moisture concern. Georgia guidance addresses foundation-wall ventilation openings and vapor retarders as part of under-floor moisture management, so vent conditions should be evaluated with the structure and moisture source rather than in isolation.
Foundation Drains
A foundation drain can help manage water collecting beside or entering through foundation areas.

Moisture Conditions & Pest Concerns

Damp crawl-space conditions and pest activity are often issues that our customers deal with simultaneously, particularly when moisture affects wooden components beneath their homes.

We treat the moisture concern as a distinct property condition while drawing on our pest-control background to identify termite-conducive areas, potential entry points, and other pest-related issues. This keeps our recommendations centered on the work supported by the inspection rather than expanding it into unrelated services.

What Our Moisture Services Don’t Cover

We don’t inspect for the presence or absence of health-related molds, mildew, or fungi, because we aren’t licensed to perform that work. If those concerns are present, we can help you arrange an inspection with a qualified industrial hygienist or structural professional.

Our moisture-control scope also shouldn’t be confused with mold remediation, structural repair, or a comprehensive crawl-space encapsulation package. We limit our work to barriers, vent replacements, and drainage improvements.

Trusted Since 1960

We’re a family business that has served local homes, businesses, and industrial facilities for decades. Thousands of homes have been placed under our care, giving us longstanding experience with the ways crawl-space conditions and pest concerns can appear on the same property.
