Unhealthy Crawl Space
Did you know that roughly 50% of the air we breathe upstairs comes from your crawl space? If your crawl space isn't up to par, neither is your indoor air quality. Just a few things to look out for is an increase in asthma and allergy symptoms, as well as a musty smell that comes from mold and mildew.
Cracks
The wood beams that are helping to lift the floors are failing and this is causing interior cracks in their walls and ceilings, because it is as if the floors are sinking.
Wood Beams
Do not trust wood beams to hold up the weight of your home, especially if you have a moisture filled crawl space. Moisture invites mold and mold spores which will weaken your wood beam and cause foundation issues in the future.
SmartJacks
This sturdy, yet easily adjustable galvanized steel stabilizer will not only support the weight of your family and furniture, but also lift your floors back to the original position over time.
