Are you noticing sloping floors, sheetrock cracks or misaligned doors in your home? These are common signs that your floor is settling. If these conditions continue to worsen, it could create unsafe conditions and significantly lower the value of your property.
Edens Structural Solutions can provide you with a free, honest evaluation and recommend solutions that will thoroughly address your crawlspace needs and safeguard your home.
How Our Crawl Space Inspection Services Are Performed
A crawlspace is the narrow area below your home’s first floor. Typically this space is only tall enough to crawl through. It is an area that can be used to access some of the homes plumbing, HVAC system and structural support beams.
Because the crawlspace can be lower than the outside ground, it is not uncommon for it to retain ground water which in the long term could create significant wood rot in the floor framing system.
To address your crawlspace concerns and ensure that your home is structurally sound with no excess moisture in this vital area, we take a thorough approach:
- We evaluate your crawl space to locate any trouble areas. We will be looking at the distance between the existing support beams, broken beams or floor joists, for obvious signs of wood rot and moisture or standing water. If we think that it is necessary, we may recommend that you hire a structural engineer for a third party evaluation. We value the opinion of an independent engineer to make sure that we address only what needs to be repaired.
- Next, we will prepare a proposal for you with a detailed drawing describing the repairs that are needed and send it to you for your review.
- Once you accept and sign the proposal, we will assign a project start date that will work with your schedule.
- On the project start date, we will prepare the crawlspace for the repairs described and start excavating soil to install the case in place concrete pad piers that are needed for the project. Cast in place piers are the strongest and most durable piers that can be installed in an existing crawlspace.
- We will repair or replace any broken or damaged floor joists and beams that have been located and discussed with you.
- After the concrete for the cast-in-place piers has cured and any new beams have been installed, we will lift the wood floor system and attempt to level as much as the structure will allow.
- To assist in limiting unwanted moisture in the crawlspace, we may recommend the installation of a 10mil vapor barrier.
- If necessary, we can install a crawlspace drainage system to remove any excessive water.
