Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Foundation and Crawl Space Repair in Atlanta, GA

These homeowners contacted our office for a free and thorough inspection of their foundation and crawl space before putting their home on the market. There were cracks in the exterior wall of the foundation. Wetness and musty odors were present in the crawl space, and soft spots were noticed on the floors above it. We performed a comprehensive inspection of the crawl space and foundation, and identified the cause of the problems. After receiving a report detailing our findings and recommendations, the homeowners were eager to work with our team to make the necessary repairs. Using foundation piers, we stabilized the foundation permanently.Foundation piers are steel posts that are placed in strategic locations around the foundation. They can help to redistribute the weight of the house, preventing it from shifting and causing further damage. Additionally, piers can also help to level the foundation, which can help to reduce cracks and other signs of foundation damage. Repairing soft spots in the floor above was achieved most effectively by installing a steel supplemental beam and SmartJack Support Posts. The SmartJack Support Posts were designed to provide support to the existing floor joists, while the steel beam provided additional support and prevented any further sagging or shifting of the floor joists. This, in turn, helped to level the floors above, making the floors more stable and less likely to develop soft spots. The CleanSpace Encapsulation System was used after our crew had established a structurally sound foundation. This system is a non-invasive process that prevents mold and mildew, while also providing a permanent barrier against moisture. This makes it an ideal solution for crawl spaces and other areas where moisture is an issue. Using our SilverGlo insulation board and heavy-duty insulation foam, we sealed the open vents to prevent outside elements from entering. Our crew installed a SmartSump Pump System designed specifically for crawl spaces to remove accumulated water and ensure the space remains dry permanently. As a final step, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was used to maintain low humidity levels, keep the air healthy, and eliminate musty odors.
