Coverage differs by company. AFS Huntsville publishes service pages for Madison, Limestone and Morgan counties. Lee Company names Madison County. The other profiles retain the cities and areas their websites actually identify. A listed office, city or ZIP does not establish service at every nearby address. Confirm your location and proposed crawl-space work directly before comparing quotes.

Additional listings include Deep South Construction Pros in Decatur, Precision Crawlspace & Renovations in Huntsville and Tri-City Crawlspace in Athens. Kennedy & Sons also explicitly names Madison, Limestone and Morgan counties on its crawl-space service page. County claims remain company-reported; they do not establish availability at every address.

Newer options include Special Touch Restoration’s North Alabama office in Guntersville, Rick-N-Ball Restoration + Construction in Huntsville and Valley Crawlspace in Meridianville. Valley publishes a base city and ZIP but no street address on the reviewed pages. These profiles preserve named service communities without treating an office location as county-wide coverage.

New Birmingham-area service options include Foundation Pro Services, Green Home Solutions of Birmingham and iFOAM Insulation of Montgomery Metro. All three list crawl-space encapsulation in Birmingham. Green Home names North Shelby County, which does not establish service throughout Shelby County. iFOAM’s listed contact location is Prattville; Birmingham is a service area. These company-reported details were checked October 9, 2026. Confirm availability and the proposed work for your address.

Mobile-area listings now include Gulf Coast Foundations’ Gulf Coast office in Stapleton, Bulldog Foundation & Crawlspace Specialists in Irvington and APS Insulation in Mobile. All three describe crawl-space encapsulation; their other listed services differ. Gulf Coast Foundations and Bulldog publish street addresses for these offices. APS identifies Mobile as its headquarters city without a street address on the reviewed contact page. These company-reported details were checked October 9, 2026. Named service communities do not establish service at every address or throughout a county.

For central and west-central Alabama, Red Flag Pest Control’s Montgomery office lists encapsulation, vapor barriers and dehumidifiers. Stay Dry Waterproofing LLC publishes a McCalla contact address and names Tuscaloosa and Northport among its service communities, with moisture-control and structural repair services. Stay Dry’s office role remains unconfirmed. Company sources checked October 9, 2026; ask each provider about the exact work and property address.

Which companies report service in my Alabama county?

The county-level claims below are company-reported and separate from office addresses. AFS, Lee Company and Kennedy & Sons sources were checked October 5, 2026; SouthernDry’s Autauga page was rechecked October 7, 2026.

• Madison County: AFS Huntsville, Lee Company and Kennedy & Sons explicitly name the county.
• Limestone and Morgan counties: AFS Huntsville and Kennedy & Sons explicitly name both counties.
• Marshall, Lauderdale, Franklin and DeKalb counties: Kennedy & Sons explicitly lists these counties on its Alabama crawl-space service page.
• Jefferson County: SouthernDry reports crawl-space encapsulation for homeowners across Jefferson County on its Birmingham service page, checked October 9, 2026. This is reported service coverage, not a Birmingham office or a guarantee for your address.
• Autauga County: SouthernDry lists crawl-space drainage, vapor barriers and encapsulation on its Autauga County service page. Confirm the scope and availability for your address.

AFS’s service-area sitemap links to its individual county pages. Lee Company’s Huntsville crawl-space page identifies Madison County. City and community lists on other provider pages remain useful leads, but naming Huntsville, Athens or Decatur does not establish service throughout a surrounding county.

Use the ZIP search to distinguish documented company coverage from nearby offices. A county-based match is a starting point: ask whether the company serves your exact address, handles your proposed crawl-space work and has current appointment availability.

Before crawl-space work near Huntsville or Madison

Check the property’s jurisdiction and water source before choosing a repair scope. A contractor’s service area and the office responsible for your property are separate questions.

1. Confirm the address or parcel. Start with Huntsville’s address lookup. For Madison city-limit questions, the City of Madison directs residents to Engineering at 256-772-5629. Madison County’s jurisdiction guide explains how the parcel’s tax district identifies the responsible authority. Do not assume a property outside Huntsville or Madison is unincorporated Madison County.
2. Route outdoor drainage concerns locally. Huntsville’s drainage page directs non-emergency reports through Huntsville Connect. In Madison, drainage outside new development currently under construction goes to Public Works at 256-772-8490. In unincorporated Madison County, County Public Works handles stormwater and drainage. Ask about the observed water path and any public-system issue; these contacts do not promise repairs on private property.
3. Check floodplain conditions before closing vents. Huntsville’s floodplain guidance identifies crawl-space flood-venting requirements and directs property questions to Engineering at 256-427-5300. Ask how those requirements affect the proposed work before sealing openings. The City also cautions that drainage problems can occur outside mapped floodplains.

Bring safe observations and photos to the contractor discussion using our crawl-space inspection checklist. If water appears after rain, use the drainage-options guide to ask which water source, collection route and discharge point the proposed system addresses.

Before crawl-space work around Birmingham, Jefferson or Shelby County

Start with your property’s jurisdiction, the water source and a written scope. A Birmingham service-area claim does not identify the office responsible for your address or establish what is included in an encapsulation quote.

Which office should review my crawl-space project?

Jefferson County’s ePermit page points to CAPture and the Tax Assessor Map to help identify property jurisdiction. For work in unincorporated Jefferson County, start with Development Services at 205-325-5321. Describe liner work, structural repairs, electrical equipment, excavation and drainage separately so the office can explain what applies.

Shelby County’s application checklist separates zoning approval from the county permit application. County Planning Services handles zoning approval for unincorporated areas, Montevallo, Vincent and Wilsonville. Applicants in Chelsea, Columbiana, Indian Springs Village and Wilton are directed to obtain city zoning approval first. Confirm the route for your address and proposed work at 205-620-6650; this list is not a permit determination for every crawl-space project.

Is the drainage problem public or on private property?

Inside Birmingham, a blocked storm drain can be reported through 311 or 205-254-2489. Record its location, what you observed and how long it has been happening. A report does not promise a repair or resolve water management on private property.

Jefferson County’s stormwater FAQ routes clogged drains, pipes, ditches and road-flooding concerns in unincorporated areas to 205-325-5232; inside a city, it directs residents to municipal public works. The county generally does not resolve runoff disputes between private properties. Ask which drainage feature is public, private or association-maintained before assigning work in a proposal. Use our drainage-options guide to compare the collection route and proposed discharge point.

Does floodplain review change the plan?

Birmingham’s Special Flood Hazard Area guidance includes renovations, utility work, excavation, grading and fill. Ask how the property’s flood designation affects proposed openings, equipment and drainage. Jefferson County’s floodplain program serves unincorporated areas plus Pinson, Graysville and Brighton; Shelby’s checklist also directs applicants to check floodplain requirements. Do not assume floodplain, zoning and building-permit service boundaries are identical.

Take the same written scope to the relevant office and each bidder: Who reviews it? What plans or inspections are needed? Who handles excluded work? Our general permit-question checklist helps organize the conversation; its state examples are not an Alabama permit ruling.

Compare the work, not just the Birmingham service-area label

For example, Green Home Solutions of Birmingham describes sump pumps and dehumidifiers as parts of encapsulation when needed. That does not establish that either item is included in your quote. Ask every bidder to mark drainage, liners, insulation, structural work and equipment as included, excluded, optional or not needed, with the reason. Use the Alabama quote-comparison guidance and worksheet to keep those answers together.

Official local guidance and the cited service description reviewed October 9, 2026. Two Jefferson routing pages were reviewed through indexed official-source text. Confirm current requirements and availability for your address.

Before crawl-space work near Montgomery, Tuscaloosa or Northport

Start with the parcel and proposed work, not the mailing city. These local routes help you ask the right office about repairs, drainage and floodplain review.

• Montgomery area: Montgomery County’s building-permit page describes county coverage outside the Montgomery and Pike Road police jurisdictions. A home outside city limits is not automatically under county permitting. Confirm the reviewing office for your parcel, then describe structural repairs, electrical equipment and excavation separately. Ask whether the property also needs floodplain review; do not treat a construction-size threshold as a repair exemption.
• Tuscaloosa city and county: The city’s floodplain-permitting guidance describes extra building-permit steps when any portion of a property lies in the regulated floodplain. Ask which steps apply to the proposed crawl-space work. For an unincorporated address, the county Floodplain Manager can help check flood status; confirm the responsible reviewing office rather than assuming the city’s process applies.
• Northport: Northport Inspections describes permitting within city limits and the police jurisdiction, with exceptions. Confirm your parcel and scope with that office. If a proposal seals vents or changes an under-house enclosure, include those details when asking about floodplain review. A Tuscaloosa service-area label on a contractor profile does not establish the jurisdiction for a Northport-area home.

For outdoor water, identify who controls the ditch, inlet or proposed outlet. Tuscaloosa County’s Public Works FAQ explains that rejected requests often involve land beyond county right-of-way or roads it does not maintain. Use our drainage guide to record the discharge route and maintenance responsibility, and the permit-question checklist to record who reviews each part of the scope.

Official local sources checked October 9, 2026. Confirm current requirements for your address and work; this checklist is not an individual permit or floodplain determination.

Before crawl-space work around Mobile or Baldwin County

Check flood openings and under-house enclosure requirements before agreeing to seal a coastal crawl space. Take the proposed liner, vent, wall, equipment and drainage changes to the office responsible for your parcel. An encapsulation proposal is not a floodplain determination.

Can existing vents or under-house walls be changed?

Baldwin County’s floodplain guidance separates A/AE and related zones from Coastal A and V zones. Its coastal guidance addresses breakaway walls, flood openings, flood-resistant materials, enclosure uses and equipment elevation. Before closing an opening, adding wall insulation or locating a dehumidifier, ask which requirements apply to the existing structure and proposed work. A flood map is a starting point; the reviewer should confirm the applicable zone and project conditions. Our crawl-space vent guide helps frame the moisture-control discussion, but does not approve closing a required flood opening.

Which local office should review the scope?

Baldwin’s permitting FAQ explains how to check both City Limits and Building Permit Jurisdictions in its parcel viewer. The county handles most unincorporated areas plus Elberta, Magnolia Springs and Perdido Beach. Silverhill and Summerdale also permit in some areas outside their city limits, so a mailing city alone is not enough.

In the City of Mobile, the city’s flood guidance directs repair questions to Build Mobile. For unincorporated Mobile County, start with County Inspection Services. Describe structural repairs, liners, electrical or mechanical equipment and excavation separately; ask what review, plans or inspections your particular scope needs.

Where will collected water discharge?

Mobile County’s Inspection Services page specifically includes drainage work in county rights-of-way under its encroachment-permit requirement. If a proposal reaches a roadside ditch or public right-of-way, identify who controls it and ask about approval before work begins. Use our drainage-options guide to record the proposed collection route and discharge point alongside the flood-opening and equipment questions.

Official local sources checked October 9, 2026. This planning checklist is not a permit or floodplain determination for an individual property.

Birmingham crawl-space termite records and access

Before new coverings are installed, coordinate your Alabama termite-service documents, inspection route and moisture-work proposal. The guide separates those records from the property’s local permit review. Read the Birmingham termite-coordination guide for source-linked questions to take to your contractor and the appropriate reviewer.

Planning crawl-space comfort upgrades in Huntsville

Use the Huntsville energy-audit planning guide to prepare for a utility survey and compare separate duct, air-sealing, insulation and moisture-control scopes. Confirm program eligibility before relying on an incentive.

Manufactured-home crawl-space repairs in Baldwin County

Separate the bottom board, ground covering, skirting and supports before comparing work. The Baldwin manufactured-home repair planning guide identifies the manufacturer, state and local review handoffs and explains the county installation inspection that occurs before skirting. Confirm the applicable process for an existing-home repair and any required installer credentials.
