Does my crawl space need a new vapor barrier?

If you see bare dirt, torn plastic or damp insulation when you open the hatch, a new vapor barrier is worth discussing with a contractor.

Do you match homeowners near Sunrise Ranch and Birdcage?

Yes. We match homeowners throughout Citrus Heights, including Sunrise Ranch, the Arcade Creek area, Birdcage and surrounding neighborhoods.

Can crawl space moisture affect indoor air?

Yes. Air from a damp crawl space can move up into the house, carrying musty odors. Fixing drainage and adding a vapor barrier can help.

Is leveling an older raised home a big job?

It depends on how far out of level the home is and why. Some homes need a few posts adjusted; others need a full leveling of the floor system.

Is there a charge for the matching service?

No. Requesting a match is free and there's no obligation.

What affects foundations in Citrus Heights

Citrus Heights has a large share of raised foundations with crawl spaces alongside older slab homes. In the raised homes, interior wood posts sit on concrete pads that, after several decades, may have settled into the clay soil or begun to rot where moisture collects. Original ground covers, if there were any, have often deteriorated.

The clay soils here behave like much of the region's: swelling with winter rain and shrinking in summer. Older slab homes may show cracks from years of that cycle, especially where drainage around the house has changed with new patios, room additions or landscaping.

Arcade Creek and its tributaries cut through parts of the city. Homes on lower ground near the creek can see more crawl space moisture during wet winters.
