Crawl Space Solutions

In Chesapeake, there are many homes that were built with crawl spaces and not basements. For a long time, these were created with open vents which was intended to increase fresh air flow into the area and keep it dry. Unfortunately, this is rarely what happens. Having open vents allows water to get in during rain and snow storms and then it never leaves which results in the humidity level staying too high which will eventually facilitate the growth of mildew. Up to half of the air in your home enters through the crawl space so ensuring this area is closed off from the elements and controlling excess humidity can increase the overall air quality in your home.

Our team has been encapsulating crawl spaces since we opened our doors and we know the best way to close them off and control the humidity. This is done using a process known as encapsulation which is the installation of a thick liner or vapor barrier, sometimes accompanied by insulation products, and are heavy duty plastic and vinyl sheeting as well as vent covers and a heavy duty door that can close off the area completely and prevent any excess moisture from entering. Closing the area will also prevent critters and animals from getting in your crawl space which will keep any appliances there safe and allow you to use it for storage. Once the crawl space is closed off, if you need it we can install a series of floor jacks to level sloping floors in your home.

Structural Foundation Repair

The homes foundation is quite possibly one of the most important areas of the home. It not only holds the home itself but it also creates the basement walls. When you have any foundation problems, normally they will present themselves as diagonal cracks in the brickwork, cracks that run along the foundation or along the basement walls. You may also notice that the doors and windows will get stuck or there may be cracks at the corners of them. You may not think these issues seem critical when you notice them, each of them are indicative of a sinking or settling foundation and it is important to have an expert evaluate the foundation for problems to determine if a repair needs to be in place.

It is good that many foundation problems are caused by similar things and our professionals are very good at spotting these issues. We can offer a repair product designed for your exact problem to permanently repair and stabilize the foundation.

Both types of piers are very strong and can help stabilize your foundation.
