Job completed for Fungal Remediation and Crawlspace Reinforcement

Completion date: December 11, 2024

Location: Cullman, AL

Why did the customer contact us?

A homeowner contacted us after noticing multiple issues in their crawlspace and requesting a professional inspection. Upon our evaluation, we found minor evidence of water intrusion, along with heavy fungal growth covering the framing system. Additionally, several areas of the framing showed sagging spans, indicating weakened structural support. Concerned about the impact on their home’s stability and air quality, the homeowner relied on us to provide a comprehensive solution to address these findings and restore the integrity of their crawlspace.

Solutions provided:

To solve the homeowner’s crawlspace issues, we began by applying a hydrogen peroxide treatment to eliminate the heavy fungal growth and sanitize the framing system. Next, we encapsulated the crawlspace with a high-quality vapor barrier to seal out moisture and protect the area from future water intrusion. To maintain optimal humidity levels, we installed a powerful dehumidifier, ensuring a dry and healthy environment. We custom-built a secure crawlspace door to provide an airtight seal and protect the space from external elements. Addressing structural concerns, we replaced damaged HVAC register runs to improve air flow and installed a steel beam along with power post floor supports to reinforce sagging areas, restoring the crawlspace’s stability and integrity. This comprehensive approach effectively resolved the moisture and structural problems, safeguarding the home for years to come.
