Crawl Space Solutions

In the greater Virginia Beach area, there are many homes that were built with crawl spaces and not basements. For many years, these were created with open vents which was intended to increase air flow through the space and keep it dry. Unfortunately, this is rarely what happens. Having open vents allows water to get in when it rains or snows and the vents prevent proper evaporation which causes the humidity levels to stay high which can foster the growth of mildew. Up to half of the air in your home comes up through the crawl space so having the space closed off from the outside and controlling excess humidity can improve the overall air quality in your home.

We have been helping customers with their crawl spaces since 1995 and we know the proper way to seal them off and control high humidity. We do this using a process called encapsulation which is the installation of a heavy duty liner, occasionally installed with insulation products, which are strong plastic and vinyl sheeting as well as covers to close off existing vents and a heavy duty door that can close off the area totally and stop any unwanted moisture from entering. Encapsulation will also stop rodents and animals from moving in your crawl space which will help keep any equipment there safe and allow you to use it for storage. Once your crawl space is closed off, if you need it we can install a series of sagging floor jacks to repair sinking floors in your home.

Structural Foundation Repair

The foundation of your home is quite possibly one of the most important areas of the home. It not only supports the building itself but it also creates the basement walls. If you have any foundation problems, normally they will show themselves as stair-step cracks in your brickwork, horizontal cracks that run the length of the foundation or across basement walls. You may also notice that your windows and doors will not open or close easily or even cracks at the corners of them. You may not think these problems seem critical at first, each of them are indicators of a sinking or settling foundation which should be looked at by a professional for problems to determine what type of a repair needs to be in place.

Thankfully, the most common foundation problems stem from similar issues and our experts are very good at tracking down these problems. We can offer a repair product designed for your exact issue to permanently repair and stabilize the foundation or walls. If you have a sloping foundation, we can install a series of foundation piers to stabilize the foundation. The location and amount of sinking will determine if we use helical or push piers. Both types of piers are very strong and can stabilize your foundation.
