FOUNDATION VENTS &
MOISTURE CONTROL

Protect your property from moisture damage, wood rot, mold, and the pests that follow where water leads.

WHY IT MATTERS

The Hidden Threat Under Your Home

Excess moisture in crawl spaces, basements, and foundations can attract termites and other pests, damage structural wood, cause peeling paint, create sticking windows, produce foul odors, and even worsen allergies and asthma.

Standard Exterminating Company, Inc. provides professional moisture control solutions designed to balance humidity levels and protect your property from the ground up. We start with a full inspection — complete with moisture readings and documentation — then build a plan tailored to your specific situation.

Our Process

How We Encapsulate

Our process includes a full inspection with moisture readings and documentation, followed by a treatment plan tailored to your needs. We handle everything from initial cleanup to long-term monitoring.

  • Full inspection with moisture readings and documentation
  • Cleaning the crawl space or basement
  • Sealing or installing Temp-Vents (automatic foundation vents)
  • Placing moisture barriers
  • Adding monitoring meters
  • Applying borate treatments to prevent wood-decay fungus
  • Installing dehumidifiers when needed
  • Ongoing monitoring to maintain proper moisture levels

Temp-Vents Technology

We rely on Temp-Vents — automatic, no-electricity foundation vents that open and close with temperature changes. They improve airflow, reduce winter heating loss, prevent frozen pipes, and help block pests from entering your crawl space.

Ongoing Monitoring

We install monitoring meters and schedule follow-up visits to ensure moisture levels stay in the safe range long after treatment is complete.

Signs You Need Moisture Control

Don’t Ignore These Warning Signs

Musty Odors

A persistent musty smell in your home — especially near floors — is one of the earliest signs of moisture problems in a crawl space.

Sticking Doors & Windows

Excess humidity causes wood to swell, making doors and windows difficult to open or close — a sign your structure is already being affected.

Increased Pest Activity

Termites, cockroaches, and other pests are drawn to moisture. A sudden increase in pest activity often signals an underlying moisture problem.
