Crawl Space Solutions

In the greater Virginia Beach area, there are many homes that are built with crawl spaces instead of basements. For a long time, these were built with vents to the outside where were intended to help air flow into the space and keep it dry. Unfortunately, this is rarely what happens. Having open vents allows water to enter the space during rain and snow storms and the vents hinder airflow which results in the humidity level staying too high which will eventually foster the growth of mildew. Studies have shown that up to ½ of the air in your home has come up through the crawl space so having the space protected from the elements and controlling excess humidity can improve the overall air quality in your home.

Our team has been working on crawl spaces since 1995 and we know the most efficient way to close them off and control the humidity. This is done using a process called encapsulation which is the installation of a heavy duty liner, occasionally installed with insulation products, and are heavy duty plastic and vinyl sheets as well as covers to close off existing vents and a heavy duty door that can close off the area completely and stop any unwanted moisture from entering. Closing the area will also stop critters and animals from getting in the crawl space which will help keep any equipment there safe and allow you to use it for storage. After your crawl space is closed off, if necessary we can install a system of sagging floor jacks to stabilize sloping floors above the crawl space.

Structural Foundation Repair

The homes foundation is easily one of the most important areas of the home. It not only supports the structure itself but it also is the basement walls. When there are foundation problems, they will generally present themselves as diagonal cracks in your brickwork, long cracks that run the length of the foundation or across the basement walls. You may also notice that your doors or windows will not open or close easily or even cracks at the corners of them. While these issues may not seem serious at first, they are all indicative of a sinking or settling foundation which should be looked at by a professional for particular problems to determine what type of a repair needs to be in place.

It is good that the most common foundation problems have very similar causes and our experts are very good at evaluating those issues. We can utilize a repair product that is for your specific problem to permanently repair and stabilize the foundation or walls. If there is a sinking foundation, we can implement a system of foundation piers to level 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.
