A solid home relies on a healthy foundation system. Over time, the wooden support structures in your crawl space can degrade due to environmental stress and moisture exposure. Our comprehensive restoration approach goes beyond surface-level repairs; we reinforce the core framework of your house. By stabilizing the subfloor and joists, we preserve the longevity of your property and ensure the safety of your living environment.
Signs of Structural Damage
Soft spots in your flooring or cracks above door frames are clear indicators of subfloor distress. When joists lose their integrity, the entire weight of your home is compromised, leading to sagging areas that worsen over time. Identifying these symptoms early allows our specialists to intervene before the damage spreads to other critical structural components of your house.
Understanding Moisture Impact
High humidity levels in your crawl space create the perfect environment for wood decay. When moisture seeps into the subfloor, it weakens the cellulose fibers, causing them to lose strength and stability. Controlling this dampness is the first step in any lasting restoration project, ensuring that new repairs are not immediately compromised by the same environmental factors.
Sistering and Reinforcement
Contact us to schedule your free structural assessment. In many cases, we utilize a technique called "sistering" to strengthen existing joists rather than removing them entirely. This involves attaching new, pressure-treated lumber alongside the damaged beams to transfer the load effectively. This method preserves the original structure while adding significant strength, acting as a cost-effective and minimally invasive solution for many homeowners facing moderate damage.
The Restoration Protocol
To ensure a lasting repair, we adhere to a strict five-step protocol designed to address both the symptoms and the cause:
Detailed Inspection
We thoroughly map out the extent of rot and structural weakness.
Site Preparation
Technicians clear debris and set up safety shoring for stability.
Damaged Wood Removal
Compromised sections are carefully excised to prevent spread.
Reinforcement Installation
We install new, pressure-treated lumber to restore load capacity.
Final Leveling
The team adjusts supports to ensure your floors are perfectly flat.
Fungus and Mold Treatment
Wood rot is frequently accompanied by fungal growth that eats away at organic materials. Before sealing any repairs, we treat the affected areas to eliminate active spores and prevent future outbreaks. This chemical remediation penetrates deep into the wood grain, halting decay in its tracks and protecting your investment from invisible threats that thrive in dark, damp spaces.
Structural Support Jacks
For severe sagging, simply replacing wood may not be enough to level the floor. We install heavy-duty structural support jacks to lift and stabilize the foundation beams physically. These adjustable steel posts can be fine-tuned to bring your floors back to their proper position, correcting slopes and relieving stress on the rest of the home’s framing framework.
Long-Term Moisture Control
Restoring the wood is only half the battle; keeping it dry is equally important. We implement comprehensive moisture control solutions, such as vapor barriers and dehumidifiers, to regulate the crawl space atmosphere. By maintaining a dry environment, we ensure that your newly restored subfloor and joists remain pristine and free from the cycle of rot and decay.
