Crawl Space Repair

Mold Treatment
Mold and mildew thrive in the damp, humid conditions found in crawl spaces. The best way to prevent microbial growth is to encapsulate the crawl space with a vapor barrier and install a dehumidifier.

The goal of sinkhole repair is to stabilize the area and prevent the sinkhole from reappearing. That means finding and eliminating the cause of the sinkhole. If water caused the sinkhole – and it usually does – then we need to get the water under control.

Common Floor Support Issues & How to Address Them
Here are some of the common floor support problems that can arise:
- Rotting wood. One of the most common floor structure problems homeowners face is rotting wood. This issue often arises due to prolonged exposure to moisture, which leads to the decay of wooden floor components. Signs of rotting wood include discoloration, a musty odor, or even the wood becoming soft and crumbly. If left untreated, rotting wood can lead to structural instability and potential collapse of the affected area. To address this issue, homeowners can opt to replace the affected wood or install additional support. You should consult with an experienced foundation and home repair professional to determine the best option.
- Warping. Another common problem is warping, which occurs when the wood bends or twists out of shape due to changes in temperature and humidity. Visible deformities in the floor, such as bulging or cupping, are telltale signs of warping. Addressing warping involves either replacing the warped boards or sanding them down and resetting them, but even more importantly, implementing a solution to attack the root cause of the problem, which could be high humidity in the crawl space.
- Uneven flooring. Uneven floors are typically caused by the settling or shifting soil beneath the home and/or compromised floor supports or floor joists. Signs of uneven floors include visible slopes in the floor, difficulty opening or closing doors, or cracks in the walls. One remedy for fixing uneven floors may involve installing adjustable steel support posts which can be adjusted over time as soil beneath the home continues to settle.
- Floor or ceiling cracks. These cracks can occur due to a variety of reasons, such as natural aging, poor construction, water damage, or even shifts in the earth's foundation. They might start small and unnoticeable but, if left untreated, can grow and lead to significant problems. To tackle this issue, you will first have to identify causation with the help of a foundation repair expert or general contractor.
- Squeaking floors. Squeaking floors are a common floor support issue, often indicating loose or damaged sub flooring. They can be caused by various factors such as aging, loose nails, or improper installation, but also by humidity changes in the home that cause the wood to expand or contract. Exploring crawl space repair options such as encapsulation and dehumidifier installation is a great place to start when fixing squeaky floors.
