Who We Are
1896-1987 The first generation of our family business began in Poland, when our forefather Dziadek Kozyra started Kozrya Painting (which later became Koze Brothers Painting). When he immigrated to the US, he brought the business along with him, and passed it onto his son, and went from generation to generation over the years.
1987-Present That tradition of passing down the business to the next generation was continued, and in 1987 when Dennis Koze took the reins, the business evolved to meet the needs of homeowners. The business moved away from painting, and turned into the Crawl Space Repair company, focusing on foundation repairs and basement waterproofing. And now, with the fifth generation as a part of the family business and 120 years behind our family’s reputation, we still carry on the commitment to honesty in everything we do.
With pride in the history of our family business, we serve the local community to ensure the structural safety of homes, and have gained the trust and respect of our customers for generations. As a leading crawl space repair contractor, we guarantee first class service for your home, from our family to yours.
Why Is It Important to Fix the Cause of Crawl Space Damage, Not Just the Damage Itself?
Replacing a damaged piece of wood or insulation may correct an immediate problem, but the repair may not last if the conditions that caused the deterioration remain. Water intrusion, excessive humidity, and uncontrolled moisture can contribute to mold, mildew, rotting wood, damaged insulation, and other crawl space problems. A lasting solution begins with understanding why the damage developed.
Our family business has evolved over generations into a company focused specifically on crawl space, foundation, and waterproofing problems. We approach these projects by considering both the visible damage and the conditions surrounding it. That can mean addressing moisture or waterproofing needs along with repairing damaged beams, floor joists, sill plates, insulation, or other components. Our goal is not to recommend unnecessary work, but to identify what the home actually needs. Correcting the source of the problem helps protect the repair itself and reduces the chance of homeowners repeatedly addressing the same crawl space symptoms.

Waterproofing, Moisture Control & More
Why Is Moisture In A Crawl Space More Than a Water Problem?
Water in a crawl space may be the first thing you notice, but moisture can create additional problems throughout the area if it is not properly controlled. Persistent dampness and high humidity can contribute to mold and mildew growth, damaged insulation, wood deterioration, and conditions that may eventually affect structural components.
Homes throughout the Poconos and Lehigh Valley experience changing temperatures, rainfall, snow, and seasonal humidity. Because crawl spaces are largely out of sight, moisture problems can continue developing before homeowners realize something is wrong.
We evaluate where moisture is coming from and what conditions need to be corrected. Depending on the home, recommendations may include waterproofing, moisture control, crawl space encapsulation, insulation work, or repairs to materials that have already been damaged.
The goal is not simply to remove visible water. We want to address the conditions contributing to the problem so the crawl space can remain cleaner and drier while protecting the structure above it.
Protect The Area Moving Forward
What Are the Signs That a Crawl Space May Need Structural Repairs?
Structural problems beneath a home are not always immediately visible from inside the crawl space. Homeowners may first notice uneven or sagging floors, changes around doors, or other signs that something below the living area is no longer providing the support it should.
Moisture is one potential contributor. When wooden structural components remain exposed to damp conditions, rot can develop and weaken materials over time. We repair rotted beams, damaged floor joists, sill plates, and box sills as part of our crawl space and foundation repair services.
Determining what needs to be repaired begins with inspecting the crawl space and identifying the actual source and extent of the damage. Simply addressing a visible symptom without correcting an underlying moisture problem may leave the home vulnerable to additional deterioration.
We look at both the structural concern and the surrounding crawl space conditions. By identifying damaged components and the factors contributing to their deterioration, we can recommend repairs designed to restore support while helping protect the area moving forward.
Waterproofing, Moisture Control & More
Why Does My Crawl Space Smell Musty Even When I Don't See Standing Water?
A musty odor can be an early indication that excess moisture or humidity is affecting your crawl space, even when there is no obvious standing water. Crawl spaces can hold damp air and moisture that contribute to mildew, fungus growth, deteriorating insulation, and eventually damage to wooden structural components. Because these areas are usually out of sight, moisture problems can continue developing before homeowners realize what is happening.
We evaluate crawl spaces to determine where moisture is coming from and what needs to be done to control it. Depending on the conditions, the solution may involve waterproofing, moisture control, removing damaged insulation, addressing mildew or fungus growth, or crawl space encapsulation. The goal is to correct the conditions that are allowing excessive moisture to remain beneath the home rather than simply covering up the odor. If your crawl space consistently smells damp or musty, an inspection can help determine whether moisture is affecting areas you cannot easily see.
Repairing Rotted Beams, Damaged Floor & More
My Floors Feel Uneven or Bouncy. Could the Problem Be Under My Home?
Floors that begin sagging, bouncing, or feeling uneven may indicate a problem beneath the living space rather than with the flooring material itself. Crawl space moisture can contribute to deterioration of wooden structural components over time, including floor joists, beams, sill plates, and box sills. When these components become damaged or weakened, changes may eventually become noticeable in the floors above.
Our crawl space repair services include repairing rotted beams, damaged floor joists, sill plates, and box sills. Before recommending repairs, we inspect the crawl space and evaluate the condition of the structural components along with moisture or water conditions that may have contributed to the damage. Addressing only the visible symptom upstairs may leave the underlying problem unresolved. When structural deterioration and moisture are connected, both issues need to be considered as part of the repair plan. An inspection allows us to determine what is happening beneath the home and develop a detailed proposal based on the conditions we find.

Develop Appropriate Solution
What Does Crawl Space Encapsulation Actually Do?
Crawl space encapsulation is designed to help create a cleaner, more controlled environment beneath the home. Instead of leaving exposed ground and other surfaces vulnerable to moisture entering the space, encapsulation helps separate the crawl space from conditions that can contribute to excessive dampness and humidity.
This can be particularly valuable when moisture has contributed to mold, mildew, damaged insulation, or deterioration of wooden components. Encapsulation may be one part of a larger solution that also includes waterproofing, moisture control, insulation work, or repairs based on the existing condition of the crawl space.
A cleaner and drier crawl space can also benefit the home above it. Conditions underneath the house can influence comfort and heating and cooling efficiency, which is why we consider the crawl space part of the overall home rather than an isolated area.
Before recommending encapsulation, we inspect the space and identify the problems that need to be addressed. Our goal is to develop the appropriate solution for the individual property.
Identify A Smaller Problem
Why Should You Have Areas of Your Home Inspected That You Cannot See?
Some of the most important parts of a home are also the easiest to overlook. Crawl spaces, foundations, floor joists, beams, insulation, and other components beneath the living area can develop problems without creating an obvious warning upstairs.
Water intrusion, excessive humidity, mold and mildew, damaged insulation, and wood deterioration can all progress when these areas remain unchecked. By the time visible symptoms appear elsewhere in the house, the underlying problem may have been developing for some time.
We recommend treating inspections beneath your home much like other forms of preventive maintenance. An inspection gives us an opportunity to look for moisture, structural concerns, insulation problems, and other conditions that may require attention.
Not every issue requires a major repair. In some cases, identifying a smaller problem early can prevent it from becoming more extensive. Our approach is to inspect the conditions, explain what we find, and provide a detailed repair proposal when work is necessary.

I Know Something Is Wrong Under My Home, but
I Don't Know What Type of Repair I Need. Where Should I Start?
You do not need to diagnose a crawl space or foundation problem before contacting us. Homeowners often first notice symptoms such as musty odors, dampness, visible mold or mildew, sagging floors, damaged insulation, standing water, or deteriorating wood. Those symptoms can have different causes, and determining the appropriate repair starts with inspecting the area rather than selecting a service based on guesswork.
When you schedule an inspection, we can evaluate the crawl space and identify conditions that need attention. Depending on what we find, recommendations may involve crawl space encapsulation, waterproofing, moisture control, foundation repair, structural wood repairs, insulation removal or replacement, or treatment of mildew and fungus growth. After evaluating the property, we can provide a detailed repair proposal based on the actual conditions beneath your home. Starting with an inspection gives us the information needed to determine what is causing the problem and which repairs are appropriate instead of treating symptoms individually.
