We recently completed a job to help fix and support a sagging floor in a home. The floor above the crawl space had started to dip in certain areas, so we installed strong steel supports underneath to help lift and hold it in place.
These supports were set on solid bases to make sure everything stays stable over time. Now, the floor is much more level and secure, giving the homeowner peace of mind and improving the overall safety and structure of the house.
This project was all about turning a damp, cluttered, and unstable crawl space into a clean, dry, and structurally sound area. We began by sealing the space with a heavy-duty liner and drainage matting to protect against ground moisture. We also cleaned the area by removing debris, spider webs, and unused cables to make it safe and tidy.
Next, we removed old insulation and replaced it with high-performance wall and rim joist insulation that helps control temperature and blocks moisture. A reliable sump pump system was installed to handle any water buildup and prevent future flooding.
To address floor stability, we installed a support system designed to strengthen and stabilize the floor above. All these upgrades work together to protect the home from moisture, improve energy efficiency, and add structural support where it’s needed most.
The homeowner was dealing with a damp, musty crawl space that was causing moisture problems, energy loss, and potential foundation damage. We got to work by sealing the space to keep moisture out and prevent any more seepage. We also took care of the foundation cracks, making sure no water could get in and reinforcing the structure for added protection. The old sump pump was swapped out for a more reliable system, designed to prevent flooding and handle drainage efficiently. To boost energy efficiency, we added insulation and sealed up any gaps to keep things dry and comfortable. Finally, we gave the space a good cleaning, removing debris and dust from ducts and utility lines. The result? A dry, clean, and protected crawl space that gives the homeowner peace of mind and extra storage space without the worry of moisture or damage.
To help improve drainage around the home, we drilled a clean opening through the foundation wall and connected our system to the existing rainwater drainpipe. This setup helps direct water away from the house, reducing the risk of pooling, leaks, or foundation damage. Everything was sealed properly to ensure a smooth and reliable connection.
In this project, we transformed the crawl space into a clean, dry, and energy-efficient area. We fully sealed the space to block moisture, installed a durable floor liner for added comfort and protection, and treated surfaces to prevent mould growth. New insulation was added to the walls and rim joists to help keep the home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. We also installed a reliable sump pump system with backup protection to remove any water that might enter, and safeguards were added outside to prevent flooding from frozen or clogged pipes. Overall, these improvements will keep the crawl space healthy, dry, and better protected for years to come.
