Crawl Space Solutions

In Gloucester, there are many homes that are built with crawl spaces instead of basements. For many years, they were created with open vents which was intended to increase air flow into the area and keep it dry. Unfortunately, this is rarely what happens. Having open vents allows water to enter the space when it rains or snows and then it never leaves which results in the humidity level staying too high which can foster the growth of mildew. Up to ½ of the air in your home comes up through the crawl space so ensuring the crawl space is protected from the outside and controlling excess humidity can increase the overall air quality in your home.

We have been dealing with crawl spaces as long as we have been in business and we know the proper way to close them off and control excess humidity. This is done using a process known as encapsulation which is the installation of a series of vapor barriers, occasionally installed with insulation products, and are thick plastic and vinyl sheets as well as vent covers and a heavy duty door that can seal the area completely and stop any unwanted moisture from entering. This will also stop pests and animals from getting in the crawl space which will help keep any equipment there safe and allow you to use it for storage. Once your crawl space is encapsulated, if necessary we can install a series of sagging floor jacks to stabilize sagging floors in your home.

Structural Foundation Repair

The homes foundation is easily one of the most important parts. It not only holds the home itself but it also creates the basement walls. When there are foundation problems, they will generally present themselves as diagonal cracks in your brickwork, cracks that run the length of the foundation or along basement walls. Sometimes, you will see that your windows will get stuck or even cracks at the corners of them. You may not think these problems seem serious when you notice them, each of them are indicative of a sinking or settling foundation and they should be evaluated by an expert for specific problems to determine what type of a repair needs to be in place.

It is good that many foundation problems have very similar causes and our team is very good at spotting those problems. We can implement a repair solution that is for your exact issue to permanently repair and stabilize the foundation. If there is a sloping foundation, we can install a series of foundation piers to level the foundation. We will install either push piers or helical piers, depending on where and how bad the sinking is. Both types of piers are very strong and can help stabilize your foundation.
