Call us now at 303.797.8908

The alpine companies have installed more Egress windows than any other company in Denver. Egress windows have always been a natural extension of what we do with basement, crawl spaces, and foundation repairs.

We always make sure homeowners add egress windows when we’re doing disaster repair work, or repairing basement walls. There’s still quite a few homes in Denver that don’t have egress windows and this is Dangerous because there’s over four hundred thousand fires a year in basements, and thousands of deaths that could have been avoided if the families would have had egress windows installed.

Installing Egress windows in your basement will provide an escape route for you and your family in an emergency, and will also allow light to get into your basement, which will make everyone happy, and the benefits don’t stop here because egress windows will add value to your home, and your home will meet the current building codes, which will help if you’re trying to sell your home.

We have dozens of different styles and sizes of egress windows that will match any home and any interior décor, so your home will look beautiful when we’re done and you’ll feel save in your basement.

We’ll install a window well as part of the egress window installation, and we can make the widow well blend in with your landscaping and we’ll supply a window well cover, so you’ll still have usable space around patio areas.

CRAWL SPACES IN DENVER ARE FINISHED, OR THEY’RE DANGEROUS…

Call us now at 303.797.8908

Crawl spaces are dangerous: if you have mold present; which you probably do if you have never had crawl space encapsulation installed, and if you haven’t, you should have a crawl space remediation company perform mold removal, with an anti-mold chemical and fungicide spray treatment on all of your crawl space surfaces, to make sure you don’t have problems in the future.

Crawl spaces are dangerous: because the moisture in your crawl space is a moist environment that insects and animals that dwell in moist environments love, and also ruins your home by providing a breeding ground for extremely dangerous mold and fungi, that will destroy your families health, and destroy wood framing, and structural supports in your homes foundation over time.

Crawl spaces are dangerous: if you use a propane furnace in your crawlspace, which is a common practice in many homes; you should know that propane is heavier than air, and propane appliances in a basement, or crawlspace is very dangerous, if a gas leak occurs, because the propane will slowly fill the space, and this is beyond dangerous, it’s “Deadly”.

Crawl spaces are dangerous: as shelters from tornadoes; and other natural disasters, if the tornado moved your house as it usually does, your house could drop on you and your family, so this is never a good place to seek shelter.

Crawl spaces are dangerous: when Radon Gas, a cancer causing natural radioactive gas that you can't see, smell, or taste, is present under your home in the crawl spaces, because it easily works its way into your home, (see the chimney effect in previous articles here) and it’s the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, and claims more than 20,000 lives every year!

Please give us a call and we'll give you a free inspection of your homes crawl space, and we'll make suggestions, that will save you money and protect your families health!

Crawl spaces: What works and what doesn’t work!

1. Mold on floor joists, and structural wood components in your crawlspace, is a time bomb and left unattended it will go off, and before it causes your foundation to fail it will cause you and your families health to fail.

2. If you have “Crawl space Moisture” then you have a problem it’s as simple as that, and if the moisture is constant then you’re practically guaranteed to have mold, and structural damage, and the potential for Radon gas levels that are too high.

3. “Crawl space ventilation”, sealing crawl space vents actually helps, especially if you’ve had “Crawl space encapsulation” installed, which we always recommend, it makes for a much healthier and energy efficient house; for years crawl space vents were thought to be a good idea, but there a bad idea, the air from one vent was supposed to move air out the vent on the other side of the crawl space, and now we know that’s not true.

4. “Crawl space water”, is just very simply bad and we have plenty of articles here that have explained in detail why and how to avoid water in your crawl spaces.

5. “Crawl space fans”, don’t work if their installed in vents, because when they blow air out of one vent, this simply causes air to sucked in another vent, it’s really as simple as that, because you would have to create a vacuum in your crawl space for this to work.

6. “Crawl space Insulation”, the best way to insulate your crawl space is to seal and then insulate the walls in your crawl space. Crawl space insulation in joist that gets wet will get moldy and rats and varmints love it!

7. “Crawl space Mitigation”, Radon is bad, it’s very bad it causes cancer, so you should have your crawl space checked out right now, and if the levels are high which they probably will be if your crawl space has moisture problems, then we’ll show you some great mitigation systems that will vent these gases away from your family.

8. “Crawl space sump pumps”, must be kept in working order, so check it often to make sure it’s working, by simply removing the cover on the pump and pour some water into it, and watch to see that float rises up and makes the pump come on. Once you see it working wait until the water goes down and shuts the pump off, this is a test you can do yourself that will save you more money than you can Imagine and health problems from moldy crawl spaces.

9. “Crawl space vapor barrier” we did an article here, on crawl space encapsulation, take a moment and look it over, this is an Important weapon in the battle to keep your crawl space dry and your family healthy.

Crawl Space repairs in Denver are almost always caused by moisture problems, and they’re avoidable in most cases, and today we have the perfect cure for your crawl space problems; especially if you need more room in your home.

Crawl space air circulates throughout your home from the chimney effect, and fungus and mold can be carried up into your home, and causes all kinds of problems with structural floors, and all other wood supports.

Structural wood components in the entire floor framing system are exposed to the crawl space environment below your home, and this is like a Petri dish for mold and mildew, which leads to rotting wood, varmints, other insects, in your crawl space, and this air always goes straight up into your home; so why not turn this un-healthy

Crawl space finishing can turn this un-healthy area under your home into a finished basement that your whole family will enjoy, and eliminate a huge health hazard.

Crawl space repairs which will certainly come your way in the in the future, will be completely avoided, and you’ll have plenty of new space.

Crawl space finishing when done by an experienced company with the right equipment is no hassle. The Alpine companies in Denver specialize in all types of foundation and structural repairs, and we work with engineers and architects, every day to fix structural problems for homeowners.

We’ll meet with you and your Architect to determine the best use of this new area for your family, and help create a design for the new basement based on your budget and needs.
Architect and Engineers will determine where supports will be needed and how the support system will work best on your home, and we’ll all work together to make sure there are no structural supports in the middle of a bedroom or bathroom.

Crawl Space Moisture in Colorado: When was the last time you even thought about the crawl space under your home? Most of us don’t think about or look at our crawl spaces until there’s a problem.

Mold in crawl spaces is a problem that will make you and your family sick, and the main cause is moisture, in this dark cramped, smelly, dirty, area under your house. All these reasons are the main reason you should cure them now.

Smells coming from your crawl space: This is a sure sign you have problems like, mold, mildew, dead critters, dank standing water, rotting structural timbers, etc. A reduction in moisture and increased ventilation are the usual cures for these problems.

Crawl space encapsulation uses a thick plastic material to cover all the dirt areas in your crawl space under your home, and will actually make the area so dry and clean you can use it for storage.

Radon Gas in crawl spaces: Radon Gas is the number two cause of Lung Cancer in the United States, and installing a crawl space vent with a booster fan is a good way to control moisture and exhaust radon gas from your crawl space in Colorado. The first step here is to test for Radon Gas and move forward from there.

French Drains and Perimeter drainage: is also used to remove moisture from underneath and around your homes crawl space and structures, by using a perforated and corrugated drain tile in an aggregate to move water to a sump basin, and then use a sump pump to remove water to a line that runs to an in ground pit.

Crawl spaces are always a problem; it’s just one we all ignore until it’s too late, so we’ll talk about crawl space problems and cures every day so please leave a question here, or give us a call for a free inspection of your homes crawl spaces.

Poorly Insulated crawl spaces under your home will cause the floors in your house to stay cool and will raise your energy cost to heat your home.

Here is something to consider if the cost of cooling and heating your home are higher than you think they should be. The windows in your home in Colorado will give you as much Insulation as the concrete foundation walls in your basement and crawl spaces, and since the exterior walls on our basements and crawl space walls are constantly being cooled in the winter by our extreme temperatures, they offer very little in the way of insulating your home from cold air in the winter. If you have exposed water pipes, or air vents in your basement or crawl space that are not insulated, then you’re losing a lot of energy again that’s costing you money every month.

The Alpine companies in Denver CO can insulate your crawl space and basement walls with, fiberglass and foil faced blankets that reflect the heat back through your floors into your house where it’s needed, as well as stop mold and mildew which cause health problems for many people in Colorado every year.

Moisture, mold, mildew, waterproofing, radon mitigation, French drains, and standing water in crawl spaces, are all problems the Alpine Companies in Denver can solve for you right away. Give us a call before these foundation problems become health problems for you and your family, there’s no charge for a complete written review of your crawl space, and the best way to fix them fast!

Crawl space Moisture and standing water in crawl spaces is one of the biggest problems we see in Crawl spaces. Any moisture in your crawl space will eventually cause problems for all structural components, and wood floor joists, and will cause all forms of mold, fungus, and rot, which can cause serious health problems for anyone living in your home that can affect them for the rest of their life.

Dirt crawl spaces all have the moisture levels necessary for the formation of mold, and mildew, even if you’ve never experience flooding around or near your house. Insects and animals, love the damp environments in unfinished or damaged crawl spaces, and will make their homes there.

The Alpine Companies in Denver can remove moisture from your crawl space, and leave you with either a finished crawl space, or an extremely clean area that you can use for storage, and most important of all eliminate mold, radon gases, and critters at the same time.

Encapsulation is one way to effectively control the moisture in crawl spaces; we’ll tell you a little bit about Encapsulation Systems that will eliminate moisture in your homes crawl space before it becomes a problem.

The Alpine Companies use thick plastic materials that will not rip and tear to cover all the dirt areas in crawl spaces under your home that will stop all structural problems. If you already have structural problems like rotten timbers, and sagging floors, they will be repaired before installing the Encapsulation System under your home.

Perimeter drainage may also be used to control moisture underneath and around your home; using perforated and corrugated drain tile in an aggregate to move water to a sump basin, and then using a sump pump to move the water to a line that runs to an in ground water receptacle or pit, that does a good job of reducing moisture levels in the crawl spaces under your home.

Using these methods and many other ways of controlling moisture in crawl spaces, you’ll feel confident knowing there are no health problems coming from under your homes foundation.

Foundation repairs are complicated problems with a lot of cures, and we’ll be discussing them here just about every week, and feel free to call anytime with questions about your homes crawl space, just call 303.797.8908 and ask for Jay Lesser, he’ll make an appointment to give you a free estimate right away.
