Moisture is Your Crawlspace’s Worst Enemy
Most homeowners don’t think about their crawlspace very much, but it’s an essential part of your pier and beam home.
Your home stands on piers, which support the structural elements of your home, like the joists. But cement and wooden joists are susceptible to moisture.
This makes protecting your crawlspace from moisture accumulation a vital aspect of your maintenance services.
A crawlspace that traps moisture is a hazard in a few ways. The moisture may rot out your joists and provide the perfect breeding ground for fungus and mold at the same time.
If you’re worried that your crawl space may be endangering your home, contact Lone Star Foundation Repair for an inspection.
Signs Your Crawl Space Needs Repairs
Humidity
A humid crawl space indicates that water is trapped somewhere underneath your home, and the humidity itself can cause damage.
Wood Rot
Humidity and standing water can lead to rotting joists and support structures. This can lead to uneven and sagging floors.
Mold
Mold is always an indicator that there’s moisture present. Mold can accelerate wood rot and is a danger in and of itself.
Sagging Floors
If your floors are sagging or uneven, there’s a good chance that your crawl space–and maybe your entire foundation–needs repairs.
Crawl Space Repair Services from Lone Star Foundation Repair
Crawl Space Excavation
Homes with small crawl spaces can sometimes benefit from expanding them, providing the homeowner and any technicians with easier access to the home’s underside.
Crawlspace Waterproofing
Waterproofing your crawl space is vital to protecting your home from moisture intrusion, wood rot, and the structural defects that result from them.
Support Jacks
Joists sometimes warp, leading to uneven floors that aren’t dangerous enough to replace entirely. A support jack can level your home’s foundation.
Pier & Joist Replacement
Sometimes a pier or joist may be damaged. Lone Star Foundation Repair can replace these piers and joists to protect your foundation from developing more problems.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
East Texas is humid, and that humidity can damage your pier & beam foundation over time. A vapor barrier from a crawl space encapsulation contractor can protect your home.
