Mid-century brick ranches and frame cottages south of Milledgeville, sitting over damp clay with vents open to every humid summer.
A lot of Hardwick houses went up in the decades when Central State Hospital was the biggest employer in Baldwin County. They are solid brick and frame homes, and nearly all of them sit on vented crawl spaces with bare dirt underneath. That design pulls in outdoor air all summer long.
July air in Hardwick carries a heavy load of water. It flows through the vents, meets the cooler ground and ductwork, and condenses on joists and subfloor. Over sixty years that shows up as rusty nails, cupped hardwood, sweating ducts and a musty smell in the back bedrooms.
Encapsulation closes the loop. We clear the space, lay a thick reinforced liner across the ground and up the walls, seal every seam and pier, close the vents, and set a dehumidifier to hold the air steady. You get before and after photos and a written price from the free inspection.
Every Hardwick home gets the same crawl space encapsulation scope, and the written price says exactly what that covers.

Trench Guys came to my home and corrected a sagging kitchen floor. They did a great job and guarantee their work for 10 years! I absolutely will be calling them anytime I need help.
I don't usually write reviews but John and his crew are absolutely awesome. They did my crawl space encapsulation. I got other quotes - don't waste your time with the other guys. Outstanding service at an incredible price!
