Crawl Space Solutions

In our area, many of the homes are built with crawl spaces instead of basements. For a long time, they were created with open vents which was intended to increase fresh air flow through the space 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 the vents hinder airflow which causes the humidity levels to stay high which can harbor the growth of mildew. Up to half of the air in your home enters 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.

Our team has been helping customers with their crawl spaces as long as we have been in business and we know the proper way to seal them off and control the humidity. This is done using a process called encapsulation which is the installation of a thick liner or vapor barrier, sometimes accompanied by insulation products, and are sturdy plastic and vinyl sheets as well as vent covers and a sturdy door that can close off the area completely and prevent any unwanted moisture from entering. Closing the area will also prevent pests and animals from settling in your crawl space which will help keep any equipment there safe and allow you to use it for storage. After the crawl space is closed off, if you need it we can install a system of sagging floor jacks to lift sinking floors in your home.

Structural Foundation Repair

The homes foundation is easily one of the most important areas of the home. It not only holds the home itself but it also forms the basement walls. If you have any foundation problems, normally they will manifest themselves as diagonal cracks in the brickwork, horizontal cracks that run along the foundation or across the basement walls. You may also notice that the doors will not open or close easily or even cracks at the corners of them. While these problems may not seem serious when you notice them, each of them are indicators of a sinking or settling foundation which should be looked at by a professional for particular problems to determine if a repair needs to be installed.

It is good that the most common foundation problems have very similar causes and our professionals are very good at noticing those issues. We can utilize a repair product that is for your specific problem to permanently repair and stabilize the foundation. If you've got a uneven foundation, we can implement a system 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 stabilize your foundation.
