What To Do If You Have A Sagging Basement

There are a variety of ways we can help repair sagging crawl spaces. Read more about some common solutions below and give us a call for a custom consultation!

Jack System

High-grade galvanized steel support posts, engineered to be adjusted to any height necessary, are installed underneath the floor joists and raised to their correct position to stabilize and protect your home for years down the road.

The existing pier blocks are often in good shape and don’t need to be replaced. In that case,  the posts or the deteriorated screw jacks are removed or replaced.

Crawl Space Sump Pump

Another common solution for your crawl space repair needs is installing a crawl space sump pump.The sump basin collects water to a certain level until your sump pump’s float switches are triggered. Once triggered, the sump pump system automatically pumps water out of your home through a discharge pipe.

Dehumidifier System

Excessive moisture in your crawl space can make your home’s air feel damp and smell musty. This is a result of mold growth that occurs under damp conditions in your crawl space and spreads throughout your home. If the crawl space under your home is hot and clammy or cool with moisture dripping off your ductwork, a professionally installed dehumidifier can solve the problem.

Crawl space encapsulation

Crawl space encapsulation is one of the most common solutions to keep moisture out of your crawlspace and create a healthy living environment. Our professional crawl space encapsulation prevents mold growth, bug and pest infestations, wood rot, and improves your home’s indoor air quality.

Typically, to properly repair and install a crawl space encapsulation system the crawl space vents
