Crawl Space Solutions

In our area, there are many homes that are built with crawl spaces instead of basements. For a long time, they were built with vents to the outside where were intended to help fresh air flow into the area and keep it dry. Unfortunately, the opposite is usually what happens. The vents allow water to get in 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. Studies have shown that up to half of the air in your home has come up through the crawl space so having the space protected from the elements and keeping the humidity levels low can improve the overall air quality in your home.

We have been dealing with crawl spaces as long as we have been in business and we know the most efficient way to close them off and control the humidity. This is done using a method called encapsulation which is the installation of a heavy duty liner, occasionally installed with insulation products, and are heavy duty plastic and vinyl sheeting as well as vent covers and a sturdy door that can close off the area totally and stop any excess moisture from entering. Closing the area will also stop pests and animals from getting in the crawl space which will help keep any items there safe and allow you to use it for storage. Once your crawl space is protected, if necessary we can install a series of floor jacks to level sinking floors above the crawl space.

Structural Foundation Repair

The homes foundation is quite possibly one of the most important areas of the home. It not only supports the home itself but it also creates the basement walls. When you've got foundation problems, they will generally show themselves in the form of diagonal cracks in your brickwork, long cracks that run the length of the foundation or across basement walls. You may also notice that your doors will not open or close easily or there may be cracks at the corners of them. You may not think these problems seem problematic 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 if a repair needs to be performed.

Thankfully, many foundation problems stem from similar issues and our professionals are very good at noticing those issues. We can implement a repair product that is for your specific problem to permanently repair and stabilize the foundation. If you've got a sloping foundation, we can implement a series of foundation piers to level the foundation. Depending on how bad it is and where it is, we will use either helical piers or push piers. Both types are very strong and are able to stabilize your foundation.
