Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Unhealthy to Healthy Crawl Space in Nashville, TN
This leaky and damp crawl space in Nashville needed our help! With its high humidity and moisture rate, along with its uncovered soil ground, made this space the perfect environment for mold, mildew, and dust mites to thrive. After the homeowners called us, after being referred to us by a friend, our inspector came out and inspected and ran a few tests on the space. He tested the wood moisture content of the wood in the crawl space and found that it was at 53%! This is normally the rate at which wood decays and damage occurs. We are glad the homeowners called us when they did, or else there may have been permanent structural damage and foundation stabilizers would have also had to have been installed most likely to help support the weight of the home. Our inspector went over different solutions and products with the homeowners to find the best fit for them.Products Installed:
