Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawlspace Moisture Solution in Brooksville, FL

Kevin O. had replaced his home's subfloor several times in an attempt to get rid of the musty odors in his house. But nothing seemed to work, so he started researching moisture control systems for his crawlspace. Kevin contacted LRE Foundation Repair for help. One of our design specialists inspected the entire crawlspace of the house and found that excess moisture was trapped due to poor drainage, causing mold and mildew buildup. The specialist designed a perfect solution for the crawlspace that would eliminate the homeowner's woes. Crawlspace encapsulation involves using moisture matting, vapor barriers, and various drainage solutions to remove excess moisture and divert it outside where it belongs, leaving the crawlspace clean and dry. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and could finally breathe in the fresh air in his home.

Damp Crawlspace Area

This crawlspace suffered from mold and mildew because excess moisture could not be removed quick enough under the home.

Poor Insulation and Failing Supports

Exposure to the elements over time can eat away at insulation and foundation supports. If the crawlspace is not kept clean and dry, it can cause more problems then just mold.

Sagging Floors and Failing Supports

This crawlspace was causing the interior floors to sag as wood was rotting and concrete supports were shifting. The crawlspace encapsulation system not only cleans the entire crawlspace area, but foundation supports can be replaced with galvanized steel SmartJack posts to add the needed stability to a home.
