Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation & Stabilization in Bunnell, FL
David in Bunnell, FL, noticed areas inside his home where the floors had begun to drop over the past three months, raising concerns about the structural support provided by the crawl space below. He also suspected there could be moisture issues present in the crawl space, so he contacted LRE Foundation Repair to schedule a complimentary inspection.
After sending one of our local expert Design Specialists to inspect David’s crawl space, we discovered that excessive moisture had contributed to mold and mildew growth, while soil settlement had caused the original block piers to settle, contributing to the noticeable sagging of the floor joists.
Our team developed a comprehensive plan to fully encapsulate the crawl space with our CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System to provide long-term moisture protection and humidity control. We also recommended installing our SmartJack system to provide durable, adjustable support for the home’s floor joists. David reviewed and approved the plan, and our team got to work.
The crawl space was fully sealed with our CleanSpace moisture barrier and paired with a specialized dehumidifier to help keep the space clean and dry year-round. Our team then carefully installed and adjusted each SmartJack to properly support the floor joists and restore them to a more level position. For additional protection, we also installed an EverLast Crawl Space Door at the entrance to provide an airtight seal and prevent humid air and pests from entering.
Once the work was completed, David could enjoy lasting peace of mind knowing his crawl space was stabilized, encapsulated, and better protected against future moisture issues.
