Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation and Repair in Surfside, FL

Benjamin from Surfside, FL, noticed a musty smell in his home and saw that his tile flooring was buckling, raising concerns about potential issues in the crawl space below. He contacted LRE Foundation Repair for a thorough inspection, and one of our expert Design Specialists visited his home to investigate. Upon inspection, our specialist detected high humidity levels and found that many of the original block and wooden piers supporting the floor joists had settled, causing the floors to buckle. He explained to Benjamin how the elevated moisture levels were contributing to the musty odor and presented a comprehensive repair plan. The plan included encapsulating the entire crawl space with our CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System to control humidity and prevent future moisture problems. For the structural concerns, the plan called for repairing the damaged joists and installing our SmartJack system to permanently stabilize and lift the floor joists. After Benjamin approved the plan, our team got to work. The crawl space was fully sealed with CleanSpace, complete with a specialized dehumidifier and sump pump system. The SmartJack system was installed to lift and stabilize the sagging joists, restoring the floors to their proper level. Once complete, Benjamin was thrilled—his tile flooring no longer buckles, and the musty smell inside his home has been completely eliminated.
