Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair with Permanent Foundation Stabilization in Sanford, NC
We were contacted by a Sanford, NC homeowner who was interested in scheduling a free foundation inspection for a home they recently purchased. We were able to schedule an appointment with the homeowner within a few days and sent out a certified inspector to the home. After the inspection, we provided the homeowner with a detailed report of our findings and recommended next steps.
A moisture problem in the crawl space led to musty odors, structural problems, and sagging floors. In order to solve these problems, we recommended installing a vapor barrier, insulation, dehumidifier, and a high-performance foundation stabilization system. These measures would help reduce moisture levels, improve air quality, and protect the structure of the home from further damage. The vapor barrier would act as a membrane, preventing moisture from entering the crawl space. The insulation would help maintain the temperature in the crawl space to minimize fluctuations in humidity. The dehumidifier would help remove any existing moisture from the air. Lastly, the foundation stabilization system would help reinforce the floor joists, level the floor above, and improve the structural integrity of the home.
