Crawl Space Solutions

In our area, there are many homes that were built with crawl space areas and not basements. For many years, they were constructed with vents to the outside where were intended to help fresh air flow into the space and keep it dry. Unfortunately, this is rarely what happens. The vents allow water to enter the space when it rains or snows and the vents hinder airflow which results in the humidity level staying too high which will eventually facilitate the growth of mildew. We have found that up to ½ of the air in your home can come up through the crawl space so having the space closed off from the elements and controlling excess humidity will increase the overall air quality in your home.

We have been enclosing crawl spaces since we opened our doors and we know the proper way to seal them off and control high humidity. This is done using a method called encapsulation which is the installation of a series of vapor barriers, occasionally installed with insulation products, which are heavy duty plastic and vinyl sheeting as well as vent covers and a heavy duty door that will seal the area totally and prevent any unwanted moisture from entering. Encapsulation will also prevent bugs and animals from moving in your crawl space which will help keep any items there safe and allow you to use it for storage. Once the crawl space is encapsulated, if you need it we will install a system of sagging floor jacks to stabilize sloping floors in your home.

Structural Foundation Repair

Your foundation is quite possibly one of the most important areas of the home. It not only holds the structure itself but it also is the basement walls. If there are foundation problems, normally they will show themselves as stair stepping cracks in the brickwork, cracks that run along the foundation or along basement walls. You may also notice that the windows and doors will stick when you open or close them or even cracks at the corners of them. You may not think these issues seem problematic when you notice them, each of them are indicators of a sinking or settling foundation and it is important to have an expert evaluate the foundation for specific problems and determine if a repair needs to be performed.

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