Spring Lake sits right at the edge of Fort Bragg (formerly Fort Liberty), and it's home to a steady mix of military and civilian families who need their houses to hold up in our demanding Cumberland County climate. Many of those homes sit over crawl spaces, where humidity quietly works on the framing month after month. Encapsulation and moisture control put a stop to it.
Holloman Exterminators has served families across the region for more than 70 years, and we understand that folks near Fort Bragg often have a lot on their plate. Our job is to make protecting your home simple, honest, and quick.
Crawl Space Moisture Near Fort Bragg
The Cumberland County climate around Spring Lake brings heat and humidity for much of the year, and open crawl spaces pull that damp air right in. Once it's under the house, it settles into the soil and wood and starts rising into your living space.
That trapped moisture is what leads to musty odors, cupped floors, wood rot, and pest pressure over time. It's a slow problem, which is exactly why so many homeowners don't catch it until it's caused real damage.
Encapsulation That Fits a Military Lifestyle
We know Spring Lake families move on the Army's schedule, not their own. A PCS can come up fast, and the last thing you need is a home project tangled in restrictive paperwork.
That's why we never lock anyone into a long-term contract. We earn your business with performance and consistency, so whether you own your home or you're preparing it for the next family, you can protect it without being tied down.
Our Moisture Control Services in Spring Lake
Every crawl space is different, so we start with an integrated pest management assessment and then recommend only what your home needs.
Encapsulation and Moisture Barriers
We seal the crawl space with a durable vapor barrier across the floor and walls and close off the vents, creating a continuous shield against ground and outside moisture.
Fungus Remediation
Where dampness has already produced mold or wood-decay fungus, we treat the growth first, then control the moisture so it doesn't return.
Ongoing Moisture Control
We add humidity control to hold the space dry through Cumberland County's long, humid stretches, keeping cleaner air moving up into your home.
What Spring Lake Homeowners and Renters Should Watch For
Whether you own or rent near Fort Bragg, these are the signs a crawl space needs attention:
- Musty smells that hang around on the main floor
- High indoor humidity or a clammy feeling in warm months
- Standing water, damp insulation, or condensation underneath
- Soft, bouncy, or uneven floors
- An uptick in pests around the lower levels of the home
If you're a renter noticing these, it's worth a quick word with your landlord, and we're happy to talk with property owners directly.

Frequently Asked Questions
I'm about to PCS. Is it worth encapsulating before I sell or rent out my home?
Often, yes. A dry, encapsulated crawl space is a strong selling point and helps protect the home while it's between occupants, and since we don't require long-term contracts, you're not tied to anything after you move.
Do you work with landlords and property managers around Fort Bragg?
We do. We're glad to coordinate directly with owners or managers on rental properties in the Spring Lake area to keep those homes dry and protected.
Will encapsulation help with the humidity I feel indoors?
It usually does. Sealing and drying the crawl space cuts the humid air rising into your home, which often makes the whole house feel more comfortable during our muggy stretches.
How soon can you get out to my home?
We know timing matters, especially for military families. Reach out and we'll get you scheduled as quickly as we can, and give you a clear plan after the assessment.
Do you offer service bundles for Spring Lake homes?
We do. You can combine moisture control with our termite, pest, and mosquito coverage under the Advanced, Elite, and Superior plans, all with monthly payment options and no long-term contracts. It's an easy way to keep the whole home protected on a schedule that works for you.
