Foundation and CleanSpace Repairs in Newport, NC
Challenge
Patricia had lived in her home for over 30 years. Since this is her forever home, she decided she needed to fix her sagging floor in the kitchen and hallway. Patricia was nervous about her floors being unsafe, as someone had already fallen through. Repairing the floors was her first priority, but she was also concerned about moisture in the crawlspace. She wanted to keep the groundwater from seeping in to prevent rot, mold, odor, and overall protect the home she loves.
Solution
We fixed Patricia's sagging floors by placing 6 Smart Jacks onto two 10ft supplemental beams, then tightened them to gradually raise the floor up to a level position. We then removed all debris from the crawlspace and covered the floor and walls with the heavy-duty CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is a 20-mil reinforced polymer liner that's offered with a 25-year warranty against rips and tears. We sealed ten vents from the outside air and installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control the humidly and prevent mold, rot, and odor. Now, Patricia has safe, permanently stabilized floors and a clean crawlspace which will eliminate her worry of anyone getting hurt and also protect her home from further damage caused by moisture.
