Crawl Space Repair

Crawl space issues can impact the health and stability of your home. At Xalos Foundation Support, we understand that many crawl space problems result from outdated building practices that leave these areas vulnerable. Our customized solutions go after the root causes of crawl space damage and restore a safe, healthy environment under your home.

Causes & Symptoms

Crawl spaces, often built with dirt floors and open vents, are susceptible to moisture issues, pest invasions, and structural weakening. Without proper sealing and drainage, these areas can experience excess humidity and trapped moisture, leading to wood rot and sagging floors.

Common signs of crawl space issues include:

Sagging Floors: Weakened or rotting beams can result in floors that feel uneven or bouncy.

Cracks in Drywall or Foundation: These cracks often indicate shifting or weakened support structures.

Condensation on Windows: Excessive humidity in the crawl space may cause condensation and increase indoor humidity.

Mold Growth: Trapped moisture in the crawl space promotes mold, which can affect indoor air quality.

Cold Floors in Winter: Poor insulation in the crawl space leads to uncomfortably cold floors.

High Energy Bills: Open vents allow unconditioned air to enter, reducing energy efficiency.

Musty Odors & Pest Infestations: Moist environments attract pests and create unpleasant odors.

Solutions Overview

At Xalos Foundation Support, we use proven repair methods to handle these issues. While fully encapsulated crawl spaces are not always needed, we can create a customized solution that addresses your home’s needs. Our solutions include:

Perimeter Drain Systems: Effective at diverting water away from the crawl space.

Sump Pumps: To remove any accumulated water and prevent flooding.

Vapor Barriers: Reduce moisture entry and improve air quality.

Pier & Beam Repair: Reinforces sagging floors with jacks and beams.

Crawl Space Jacks: Strengthens support where floors have weakened.

Crack Repair: Seals both vertical and horizontal foundation cracks.

Seismic Retrofitting: If your structure lacks adequate mud sill plate anchors, we install brackets to couple the structure to the foundation, increasing stability during seismic events.
