Water Pooling in Crawl Space
Without proper grading and drainage, water can pool in the crawl space area, leading to mold and structural damage.
Poor pier supports
Oftentimes we see additional wood, brick and shims added to existing piers in an attempt to stabilize a crawl space foundation. This is a temporary fix. We suggest installing the SmartJack Crawl Space stabilizer.
Pier Unable to Support Load
The concrete blocks and bricks used as a pier support in the Savannah, GA home are insufficient to support the load of the home. The concrete is cracking and leading to sagging floors above.
Inadequate Pier Support
A homeowner, or even an unknowing contractor, may add bricks, wood and shims to existing piers in an attempt to stabilize the foundation. This is not a permanent solution.
Moisture leads to Mold
This joist supports a large area of the home's floor and now has mold growing on it.
Uncovered Soil in a Crawl Space Creates Haven for Mold
The uncovered soil in a crawl space keeps the moisture in and creates the perfect place for mold to grow.
The Answer
The only answer is to completely encapsulate the crawl space with a Clean Space system. We will also install TripleSafe sump pumps to remove any water from plumbing leaks. A SaniDry CX dehumidifier will collect the moisture in the air and pump it to the sump pump.
