Crawl Space Solutions

In Davis Wharf, many of the homes are built with crawl space areas in addition to basements. For a long time, they were built with vents which was intended to increase air flow through the space and keep it dry. Unfortunately, the opposite is usually what happens. Having open vents allows 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 half of the air in your home enters through the crawl space so ensuring the crawl space is protected from the weather and controlling excess humidity can improve the overall air quality in your home.

Our team has been working on crawl spaces since we opened our doors and we know the proper way to close them off and control high humidity. This is done using a method known as 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 seal the area totally and stop any unwanted moisture from entering. Closing the area will also stop critters and animals from moving in the 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 series of floor jacks to stabilize sinking floors in your home.

Structural Foundation Repair

Your homes foundation is easily one of, if not the, most important parts. It not only supports the building itself but it also is the basement walls. When there are foundation problems, they will generally 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 windows will not open or close easily or there may be cracks at the corners of them. While these issues may not seem serious when you notice them, each of them are indicative of a sinking or settling foundation and it is important to have an expert evaluate the foundation for particular problems and determine if a repair needs to be in place.

It is good that many foundation problems are caused by similar things and our team is very good at spotting these issues. We can offer a repair product designed for your specific issue to permanently repair and stabilize the foundation. If you have a uneven foundation, we can implement 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 are able to stabilize your foundation.
