Messy Crawl Space
The crawl space was full of debris and wet falling insulation. Subfloor insulation is not recommended for any home in GA or SC due to high humidity. The insulation quickly becomes a hazard for the development of wood rot and mold.
Debris Removed and Drainage Matting Installed
After removing the unhealthy debris from the crawl space, the ground was covered in drainage matting to help aid the drainage of water that seeps into the crawl space. Later on, once resources are available, it is recommended to have the crawl space fully encapsulated to control the moisture level - but drainage matting is one of the first layers of an effective encapsulation.
SmartJack Support
A SmartJack was installed here to support the main beam where settlement of the brick pier had taken place.
