Crawl Space Repair
While this is often an overlooked area of the home, it needs to be taken care of so that unwanted critters, moisture, and excessive humidity can't get inside to cause problems. Nearly 50% of the air your family breathes originated from this space. That being said, it is important for you to be sure that there is no dangerous mold growth, rotting wood, or various related problems going on so that you can breathe in healthy, clean, and safe air.
Reports have shown that Decatur, Morgan, Athens, and Limestone County have a very high water table, and this can cause seepage to esily get into an un-sealed CS and cause damage. We have a variety of products we can install from SafeBasements™ and Smart Vents® lift and vent systems.
Warning Signs of a Problem
- Sagging floors on the first level of the home
- Musty odor
- High humidity levels
- Unwanted pests (termites, roaches, mosquitoes, skunks, rats, mice, snakes, spiders, etc.)
- Noticeable standing water against the footing
- Sinking, sagging, or torn footing
Encapsulation
At Don Kennedy and Sons, we make use of the SafeBasements™ Healthy Living Encapsulation System. This will involve sealing the space off from the outside world to prevent humidity and moisture intrusion. This will provide your home with improved indoor air quality, reduced energy bills, and better overall structural integrity.
