Darius C. of Atlanta Basement Systems inspected a Hiawassee, GA home's crawl space following an online ad about crawl space repairs and free estimates. They noticed a musty odor under their house and soon discovered the odor was coming from their crawl space after some investigation. Darius took notes during his assessment and came up with a custom solution.
Since half of your home's air comes from your crawl space, it's imperative to keep it as dry and clean as possible. Many open vents allowed moisture to enter the crawl space, the dirt floor was damp, and mold was growing around the rim joists. He recommended that the crawl space be treated for mold and an encapsulation system be installed. The Crawl Space Encapsulation System is a highly effective and proven solution that addresses the four main threats to crawl spaces: outside air, excess moisture, water, mold, and pests. In general, a clean and dry crawl space contributes to the comfort and health of a home.
This Hiawassee homeowner found our page while searching online for foundation repair companies. In particular, they were concerned about drywall cracks and what kinds of solutions are available for repairing them. A free estimate and consultation appointment revealed dry wall cracks in the home. The crawl space was also found to have high humidity levels, damp walls, and musty odors. Cracks in the drywall throughout the house are reliable indicators of foundation settlement. Cracks will often be larger and more obvious on the home's upper levels.Typical drywall cracks during foundation settlement are commonly located at the corners of doors and windows and along drywall seams. Drywall tape can also be a helpful indicator, especially if it's ripped or coming loose. Drywall cracks can also be a sign of sinking crawl space supports, sinking floors, and heaving floors.
To solve this problem, Atlanta Basement Systems recommends installing foundation piers to stabilize, repair, and restore a foundation that's been damaged by issues related to foundation settlement and poor supporting soils. Wood rot, high humidity, wall cracks, and sagging floors are the results of a vented crawl space with moisture entering. It was recommended that the homeowner seal and encapsulate the crawl space from the outside elements in order to prevent moisture from entering the crawl space. As well as leveling, stabilizing, and preventing cracks in the walls above, crawl space support jacks ensure that the floors are level and stable.
A Hiawassee homeowner searched the internet for a crawl space repair company when he found Atlanta Basement Systems and decided to give us a call. A free assessment was scheduled with one of our repair experts to assess the problem and provide the customer with a permanent solution to their problem. During the inspection, the inspector discovered that the crawl space was vented. As a result, this allowed outside leaks to enter and with that comes moisture. High moisture levels led to mold growth and damp ceiling insulation.
To solve the issue, our crew removed the moldy and damp ceiling insulation and treated the area with mold cleaner. SilverGlo insulation was fastened to the crawl space walls and the open vents were sealed to prevent air leaks. CleanSpace Vapor Barrier covers the walls and floors to control moisture and protect the space from mold. To condition and dry the air, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed.
