Crawl Space Services in Nassau County, FL

Amelia Island on the coast, then pine flatwoods and timber country west to Hilliard. Older island homes and new Yulee subdivisions have almost nothing in common underneath.

The ground in Nassau County

2 kinds of ground inside one county

  • Pine flatwoods and hardpan

    Most of the region sits on this. The surface is sand, but a foot or two down there is a dense, cemented layer called hardpan, and water perches on top of it, exactly at crawlspace level. That is why the yard ponds after every summer storm and why the ground under a house here stays damp for weeks. Ninety-percent humidity all summer does the rest.

    What we install here

    Vapor barrier or full encapsulation with a dehumidifier to break the humidity cycle, plus grading, downspout extensions and a French drain where water perches against the foundation.

  • Barrier islands and the Intracoastal

    Sand drains fast, which sounds good until you remember the water table underneath is only a few feet below your crawlspace. King tides, tropical rain and storm surge push it up from below rather than in from the side. Salt air corrodes duct straps, hangers and nails, and constant sea-breeze humidity means a vented crawlspace out here is never dry, even in a drought.

    What we install here

    Full encapsulation with a sealed liner and dehumidifier, stainless or coated fasteners, and a sump where the water table reaches the crawl floor in storm season.
