Fixing An Under-Framed Crawlspace

New Hope, AL

April 21, 2025

To eliminate the standing water and prevent future moisture issues, we implemented a full-scale crawlspace drainage and structural support solution. We began by installing a full perimeter drainage pipe system to channel water into a newly placed sump pump basin, where a reliable 1/3 HP sump pump was added to actively remove collected water through a secure discharge line. To manage humidity levels long-term, we installed the Sierra Watchdog NXT 85-pint dehumidifier, which helps maintain a dry, healthy environment. To further protect the space, we installed a 15 mil vapor barrier to seal out ground moisture and blocked open vents to prevent humid air from entering. Additionally, we reinforced the crawlspace structure by installing a steel beam with a PowerPost floor support system, ensuring both moisture protection and long-term structural stability. This comprehensive solution resolved the homeowner’s water concerns and restored the integrity and health of their crawlspace.

How We Repair Standing Water in your Crawlpace

Madison , AL

April 21, 2025

To resolve the issues caused by standing water in the homeowner’s crawlspace, our team implemented a comprehensive solution designed to address both the immediate moisture problem and prevent future concerns. We began by soda blasting the affected areas to clean and remove mold and debris safely. A full perimeter drainage pipe system was installed to channel water efficiently into a newly placed sump pump basin, where a powerful 1/3 HP sump pump now actively removes excess water through a dedicated discharge line. To further protect the space, we installed our Crawlspace Doctor Exclusive Encapsulation System, sealing the crawlspace from outside moisture. A Sierra Watchdog NXT 85-pint dehumidifier was added to control humidity levels consistently. For structural reinforcement, we installed PowerPost floor supports and a new steel beam to stabilize weakened areas. We also custom-built a durable PVC crawlspace door to provide secure access, and replaced the HVAC return ductwork to ensure healthy airflow throughout the home. This integrated approach not only solved the standing water issue but also significantly improved the overall health and stability of the crawlspace and home.

How We Solved High Indoor Humidity

Huntsville, AL

April 17, 2025

To solve the homeowner’s humidity concerns, we installed a high-performance R-5 insulated encapsulation system designed to seal off the crawlspace from outside moisture and temperature fluctuations. This system included a durable 23 mil floor liner, providing a thick, tear-resistant barrier against ground moisture. To further regulate humidity levels, we installed the Sierra Watchdog NXT 120 dehumidifier, a powerful unit capable of maintaining optimal humidity in larger crawlspaces. Together, these components created a dry, controlled environment beneath the home, effectively reducing humidity readings throughout the living space and providing a long-term moisture mitigation solution.

How to Stop Crawlspace Flooding and Transformed Air Quality

Huntsville, AL

March 26, 2025

To resolve the homeowner’s issues with hydrostatic pressure and standing water in the crawlspace, we began by removing all compromised insulation to prepare the space for treatment and repair. We then applied a hydrogen peroxide solution to sanitize the area and eliminate any microbial growth. To address water intrusion, we installed a drainage pipe system leading to a sump pump basin equipped with a 1/3 HP sump pump and a discharge line to efficiently redirect water away from the foundation. We encapsulated the entire crawlspace with a heavy-duty 23 mil floor liner to create a durable, moisture-resistant barrier. To control humidity and improve air quality, a high-efficiency dehumidifier was installed. We also custom-built a sealed crawlspace door to further prevent outside moisture and air intrusion. Finally, we upgraded the HVAC system in the crawlspace by installing new supply and return lines, as well as replacing all register runs and register boots to ensure optimal airflow and energy efficiency. This comprehensive solution fully addressed the moisture issues and significantly improved the home's structural and environmental health.

Sloping and Uneven Foundation

Gurley , AL

March 25, 2025

To resolve the homeowner’s uneven floor issues, our team conducted a thorough inspection and identified that the underlying support structure in the crawlspace was failing to properly hold the weight of the home. We installed a heavy-duty steel beam to provide strong, centralized support across the affected areas. To further stabilize and lift the sagging floors, we installed adjustable PowerPost Floor Supports beneath the new beam. These supports allowed us to carefully level the flooring while providing long-term structural reinforcement. The result was a noticeably more even and stable floor, restoring both safety and comfort to the home.

Sagging Floor Solutions

Huntsville, AL

March 24, 2025

To resolve the issue of sagging floors, our team conducted a thorough inspection and identified inadequate support in the crawlspace as the primary cause. We addressed the problem by installing a heavy-duty steel beam to provide strong, centralized support beneath the affected areas. To further stabilize and level the floors, we added adjustable PowerPost floor supports, which were securely positioned under the new beam to redistribute the load and lift the sagging sections back into place. This solution not only restored structural integrity but also significantly improved the overall stability and safety of the home.

Uneven and Sagging floors

Huntsville, AL

March 17, 2025

To resolve the homeowner's concerns and provide a long-term solution for leveling the floors, we installed steel beams beneath the home to add critical structural support. These beams were strategically placed to distribute the weight of the home evenly and reduce stress on the existing framing. In conjunction with the steel beams, we installed PowerPost Floor Supports to lift and stabilize the sagging areas, allowing for precise adjustments and improved floor leveling. This combination of steel reinforcement and adjustable supports ensured a durable and effective solution, restoring both the stability and comfort of the living space.

Fixing Uneven Foundation

Huntsville, AL

March 17, 2025

To address the homeowner’s foundation concerns, we installed PowerPost floor supports to provide strong, adjustable reinforcement beneath the sagging areas of the home. These steel posts are designed to stabilize and lift weakened sections of the floor system. Additionally, we reinforced the existing floor joists by doubling them or using scab joists—attaching new lumber alongside the original joists—to restore their strength and structural integrity. This solution effectively stabilized the foundation, corrected uneven flooring, and gave the homeowner confidence in the long-term support of their home.

How We Fixed Sagging Floors

Huntsville, AL

To address the homeowner's concerns, we implemented a comprehensive solution to restore structural integrity and prevent future issues. First, we installed PowerPost Floor Supports to stabilize and lift the sagging areas of the framing system. To further reinforce the structure, a steel beam was added, providing long-term support and improved load distribution. In addition, we installed an R-5 Insulated Encapsulation System with a durable 23-mil floor liner to control moisture and enhance energy efficiency in the crawl space. As a final step, we performed soda blasting to remove debris, mold, and other contaminants from the framing and crawl space surfaces, ensuring a clean and healthy environment beneath the home. This multi-step approach provided lasting stability, protection, and peace of mind for the homeowner.

Eliminating Mold Growth on your Framing System

Huntsville, AL

February 12, 2025

To effectively resolve the homeowner’s concerns, we began by treating the affected areas with soda blasting to remove the moderate fungal growth from the framing system safely and thoroughly. To prevent future moisture issues and mold recurrence, we installed a high-performance encapsulation system featuring a durable 23 mil floor liner, creating a sealed barrier against ground moisture. We also added a commercial-grade dehumidifier to maintain proper humidity levels within the space. To further reinforce the structural integrity of the home, we installed steel beams and PowerPost floor supports, ensuring long-term stability and support for the framing system. This comprehensive approach not only eliminated the existing fungal growth but also safeguarded the home against future moisture and structural concerns.
