Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Wet Crawl Space Repair in Glenville, WV

Sharon in Glenville, WV, needed help in repairing her wet crawl space. Not only was she noticing water intrusion, but the understructure also needed support before further structural damage occurred. When a crawl space becomes wet, even a drop of moisture can lead to wood rot, mold, and health issues like allergies or asthma. It's a serious issue that should be addressed by professionals.   Sharon found Alford Foundation & Crawl Space Repair online and gave us a call to see what we could do. We offered a comprehensive solution that would both waterproof the crawl space and stabilize the understructure to stop settling in its tracks. Our crew headed out to Glenville and began the work. First, we installed the SmartJack system, or high-capacity, adjustable steel piers installed under the crawl space structure. No more saggy, bouncy floors. Next, we paired the piers with brackets to support both the floor joists and the floor system. Then, we moved on to the waterproofing.   For the crawl space encapsulation, we made sure water had a way to get out with a new, high-quality sump pump. CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed throughout the crawl space walls and floors as a protective coating to resist water, mold, and protect the space from any future water incidents or heavy precipitation. In a single project, Sharon's crawl space was transformed from a wet, sagging problem area to a dry, secure space.
