Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair and Insulation in Lakeside

A kind teacher based in Lakeside was in need of crawlspace repair and had gotten to the point of high humidity and mold within the home. Mold in the home is a danger to not just the home, but the people living inside. Mold spores in the lungs can be lethal and wood supports provide food for the bacteria to grow. Our Foreman Randy and his team gave the kind homeowner the guarantee that her forever home could still be saved, and that it would not cost her her health or too much of her budget.

SmartJack

SmartJacks are relatively easy to install and a permanent way to stabilize a crawlspace. SmartJacks are strategically placed steel posts that are anchored into the ground with concrete blocks each post and fixed to the rim joist with load baring joints.

Too Far Gone

Moisture is one of the greatest dangers to a home. Bacteria need organic material as a food source and the wood in most homes' support is a perfect target. Once mold spores form they can spread in the air and attack more organic material, potentially spreading to residences' lungs and causing major health risks. this section of the rim joist is so far taken by spores that it runs the risk of breaking and causing serious damage.

Clean Space Lining

As a final measure and a last line of defense, the Clean Space lining is placed over every flat surface within the crawl space. Without it, any water present in the air is free to use the home's support structure as a way to generate more mold. CleanSpace has an antimicrobial lining that keeps moisture out and so that it can be delt with.
