The process of crawlspace repair typically involves several steps to address moisture and structural issues and ensure a healthy environment.
One of our technicians inspects the crawlspace to identify any issues, including moisture, mold, structural damage, insulation problems, and pests. Based on the inspection, we will evaluate the severity of the problems and recommend appropriate solutions.
If moisture is an issue, our technicians will install a vapor barrier on the floor or the walls of the crawlspace. This helps to prevent moisture from the ground from seeping into the crawlspace. In some cases, a sump pump may be installed to manage excess water and keep the crawlspace dry.
If the foundation, beams, or supports are damaged, they'll be repaired or replaced. This may involve lifting the house to realign sagging beams or adding new supports. Cracks in the foundation or walls are sealed, and settling issues are addressed, possibly through foundation piers or other techniques.
If pests such as termites, rodents, or insects are present, the crawlspace may be treated for pest control. This can involve sealing entry points, using pest deterrents, and applying pesticides. Any gaps, cracks, or holes in the crawlspace that could allow pests to enter are sealed.
If the crawlspace is poorly insulated, new insulation may be added to the walls or under the floorboards to improve energy efficiency and maintain consistent temperature levels inside the home. Ventilation systems may be installed or repaired to ensure the crawlspace is well-ventilated.
Once the repair work is completed, the area is thoroughly inspected again to ensure that all issues have been addressed and that the crawlspace is dry, safe, and structurally sound. If moisture or drainage systems have been installed, they will be tested to ensure they're functioning properly.
