Crawlspaces became very common as the housing market started to flourish and as subdivisions became a popular choice, and new custom home builds. Are you experiencing standing water in your crawlspace, hardwood floors crowning or cupping and swelling, home smell musty and of mildew, gutter down pouring spouts near your home, floors sagging and drywall cracking ?

Standing moisture in your crawlspace can cause footers to settle, humidity to rise into your home and taking mold into your home air by spreading the spores from the mold growth under your home. Various allergies and respiratory health can be associated with the quality of the air under your home.

We can help with wood rot in your floor system, adding drainage, removing insulation and clean outs, full encapsulations with different membrane options which can be beneficial to adding R-Value to your crawlspace, adding supports and beams to lift floors or give them stabilization, sump pits and crawlspace entries.

Wall Anchors and beam supports

Bowing basement walls can occur on block or concrete poured walls. Commonly the expanding or swelling of the soil outside of the home and around it will put pressure on the walls and push them inward. Depending on our inspection of the basement wall that is pushing inward /bowing, we have a few options to recommend. Basement wall anchors can be added as a stabilization method. Wall anchors can be attached with large steel plates inside of the home and outside by a threaded steel rod and fasteners. Another common method amongst Columbus homeowners is the I-beam support. I-beams are set vertically along the foundation wall, and attach to the floor joists above it and the concrete floor below it with brackets and fasteners. Through tightening of the fasteners, we can bring stabilization or do minor pull backs of the existing walls. If you’re experiencing, or wondering how to fix a cracked or bowing basement wall, then give us a call today!
