Annual Maintenance Program
Falcone’s Annual Maintenance Program is our approach to ongoing crawl space maintenance, designed to keep your crawl space dry, clean, and protected year-round. Our Annual Maintenance Program is more than just equipment upkeep; we perform a full reinspection of your originally installed repairs, assess current conditions, and maintain any equipment that’s been installed.
About
Our mission is to give every home in the Carolinas a strong foundation. That’s why we offer our Annual Crawl Space Maintenance Program: when homeowners partner with us, we provide an annual inspection to maintain your crawl space and systems we’ve previously installed.
Routine crawl space maintenance is essential to protecting one of your largest investments by catching small issues before they turn into costly repairs. Moisture, humidity, and mechanical wear can quietly impact your foundation, indoor air quality, and structural components over time. Just like any smart investment, your home needs regular check-ups to ensure everything is performing as it should.

FAQs
We recommend inspecting your crawl space once per year. An annual inspection ensures that all equipment—such as dehumidifiers, sump pumps, and drainage systems—is operating properly. We also check humidity levels and wood moisture readings to confirm conditions remain within safe ranges. Identifying changes early helps prevent wood deterioration, moisture-related issues, and costly repairs, while protecting your home long-term.
If your home has a crawl space, that’s reason enough. Annual maintenance isn’t about reacting to problems—it’s about preventing them. Many crawl space issues develop quietly and go unnoticed until they become expensive. Routine maintenance helps ensure your system continues to do its job year after year.
If we identify a concern with a dehumidifier, sump pump, or other crawl space system, we’ll notify you right away and walk you through clear, practical options. No pressure—just straightforward recommendations so you can make an informed decision about protecting your home.
Skipping crawl space inspections can allow small issues to turn into major problems. Excess moisture can lead to wood rot, fungal growth, and structural deterioration. Pests may gain access, insulation can lose effectiveness, and energy costs may increase. Over time, these conditions can impact your home’s foundation, indoor air quality, and overall value.
