This homeowner's crawl space was severely damaged by termites, so we replaced the damaged wood with new lumber to ensure the home's structural safety.
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.
While many homeowners do not access their crawl space regularly or use it for storage, what happens in this space can have a large impact on the rest of the home.
If you have a vented crawl space, you can count on 40% of the air in your home coming from your crawl space. Anything in that air -- including mold spores, odors, and humidity -- is all brought up into your home.
Cleaning your crawl space will eliminate a highly significant source of allergens in your home, while also creating a healthier environment.
This customer's crawl space was destroyed by termites. To make sure the house was structurally sound, we sistered and replaced the damaged joists.
