Structural Support for Sagging Floors

Sagging floors are not ideal in a home. Sinking floors are even worse. These kinds of problems can indicate a structural problem in your crawl space. 

Structural problems can occur for many different reasons but are often due to excessive moisture. Moisture in the crawl space can come into the crawl space in a variety of ways. 

Two of the main reasons are vented crawl spaces and dirt crawl spaces. Vented crawl spaces let outside air and moisture in and dirt crawl spaces have a constant stream of water vapor rising from the earth. 

Moisture left to sit in a crawl space leads to mold, and mold leads to rot. Rotting structural elements in the crawl space leads to the sagging floors you are experiencing in your home. 

Don't fear! While this is not a fun situation to be in, we have the solutions to this kind of problem. The answer is a CleanSpace Encapsulation, SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, and SmartJacks. 

A CleanSpace Encapsulation provides a vapor barrier in the crawl space. This keeps vapor from coming in from the earth, walls, and piers. The vents are sealed during this process as well to keep outside air and moisture out!

A SaniDry Sedona is our powerhouse of a dehumidifier. It can remove up to 100 pints of water from the air a day. It keeps the relative humidity in the air low to prevent any mold or rot from happening. It also keeps the air fresh and musty odor free. 

SmartJacks are metal supports that bring floors back up to where they need to be. Because they are metal, they won't suffer from rot like the previous supports that were in your crawl space.
