This home in Hinesville, GA had a room at the corner of the house that was settling on one side. Our team was able to help solve this issue by installing slab piers to support the room and stabilizing it to prevent settlement. This before and after photo shows one of the installed piers before the hole is filled back in with concrete for a smooth finish.
An open dirt crawl space left unencapsulated can leave the foundation of the home open to moisture damage. Homes are supported with wooden beams, and leaving these supports exposed to a harsh environment with high humidity, they will weaken over time. Furthermore, an unsealed crawlspace can become a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and allergens, ruining the health and air quality of the home. Using the CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier, a thick, moisture-resistant barrier, this crawl space has been transformed into a clean, dry, moisture-controlled space.
