Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Wood rot can happen for many reasons, such as, moisture in the crawl space under your home or leaks from foundation cracks and groundwater from above. Whatever the cause might be, it can lead to serious issues including mold on the walls and in the HVAC system, termites, critters and even worse, structural damages. The joists in this crawl space of this home in Augusta GA, had serious wood rot, which contained termites and mold. Cantey crew members replaced all the joists and beams, removing the mold and giving the homeowners peace of mind. 

Susan B. of Augusta, Georgia wanted to sell her home as quickly as possible, and she knew she had a few problems she must fix before the home inspection.  Calling Cantey Foundation Specialists, one of our trained Specialists inspected the issues that Susan was having, and he gave her the perfect solution.  Cantey could repair the rotten wood by replacing it with our treated lumber, and then installing a vapor barrier system that would make the crawl space look and feel clean and protected.  Susan was able to sell her home quickly after Cantey left a beautiful crawl space behind!

To stop moisture from passing through your floors and porous concrete walls, a crawl space vapor barrier should be installed. A durable liner will allow for servicemen to use the space without damage while transforming your crawl space into usable storage space. This is also the best time to install crawl space insulation on your walls or floors. Installing crawl space drainage matting underneath the crawl space liner will help direct water to the drainage system and sump pump.

The Williams' of Vale, NC got a complete crawl space makeover with a new SmartPump, CleanSpace, Sanidri Sedona dehumidifier, and newly sealed vent. The moisture will now be completely controlled providing a clean and healthy environment for this family.
