The dampness, humidity, and water intrusion problems in crawl spaces make them ideal environments for mold and rot to grow. A vented crawl space allows rain, humidity, cold air, and pesky pests into the space, causing more damage than good. Crawl spaces are also a breeding ground for termites, carpenter ants, and other damaging insects that feed on organic materials like the pictured wooden floor joists. As the wood deteriorates, it can't support your home, causing significant structural damage. Most crawl space failures and damaged structures can be repaired by sealing, encapsulating, and installing crawl space support posts by our crawl space repair experts!
The floor joists in the crawl space of this home were deteriorating due to old termite damage. We installed SmartJack Support Posts to ensure the structure is safe and stable.
This customer's crawl space was destroyed by termites. To make sure the house was structurally sound, we sistered and replaced the damaged joists.
Excessive moisture in this customers crawl space led to joist damaged that ultimately caused the subfloor to warp and feel bouncy. Our team removed the damaged area and replace the subfloor. Additionally, we recommended the homeowner encapsulate their crawl space to prevent further moisture damage as well as installing our SmartJack Support system to stabilize sagging floors.
Excessive moisture in the crawl space can damage the structural integrity by promoting wood rot, mold growth, and attracting pests, all of which can weaken the foundation and compromise the stability of the entire building. Unfortunately, this customers crawl space fell victim to moisture damage. The first project they wanted to tackle was the rotted subfloor. Our team treated the space for mold growth then carefully removed and replaced the floor with new material.
