Crawl Space Problems in Texas
Under many older Texas homes, the crawl space is where foundation trouble starts. Rain runoff, poor grading and humid summer air can leave the space damp, which leads to musty odors, rotted joists, mold, pest activity and settling piers. Signs inside the home include sagging or bouncy floors, sticking doors and higher humidity.
How We Repair a Crawl Space
We inspect the space for standing water, wood damage, pier settlement, insulation and ventilation. Repairs can include a sealed vapor barrier or full encapsulation, vent upgrades, dehumidification, joist and beam repair, supplemental piers, and drainage work outside the home.

Technician insight
A liner over wet soil does not fix a wet crawl space. Finding where the water is coming from comes first, then we seal and protect the space.
A Typical Crawl Space Repair
A common case is a home with musty air and a soft spot in the floor. The usual path is a crawl space inspection, repairing the damaged joists, fixing the water source, and installing a sealed vapor barrier.
