Crawl Space Repair

Crawl Space Repair

Crawlspaces are the most neglected part of the home. Because they’re not the most desirable place to go water and humidity can cause problems such as wood rot, fungal growth and foundation cracks. We can assess the amount of wood rot and address the cause. If wood repair is necessary like band sill, joist girder and subfloor replacement we are happy to help with repairs.
If your crawl space contains standing water, mold, or dry rotted floor joists, you may wonder what steps you can take to eradicate it. Your crawl space is a vital part of your home’s structure and is responsible for housing important pipes and in some cases, HVAC systems. When damage occurs, it can result in costly repairs and lower air quality in your home. At Reliable Solutions Atlanta, we offer a multi-step solution to encapsulate your crawl space and protect it from moisture and unwelcome pests.

When pests or water gets into your crawl space, they can wreak havoc on the structural supports and appliances within the area, as well as decrease the health of your home. Things such as elevated humidity and mold and mildew can result in poor indoor air quality. This also can cause your energy bills to increase and the overall environment of your home to deteriorate. When these things happen, the stack effect is likely at play. The stack effect is the upward movement of air from the crawl space through your home. This means that any mold, pest droppings, or humidity are being circulated within the air your family breathes.  

To stop these issues from affecting you and your home, investing in crawl space repairs and encapsulation is the smartest choice. We offer customized solutions for your home such as vent covers, durable vapor barriers, interior drainage systems, drainage matting, dehumidifiers, and more.
