Water Issues causing sagging floors in this Scottsville, Virginia Crawl Space
Challenge
Abby and Chase in Scottsville, Virginia had been dealing with two frustrating problems at the same time. Parts of the floor were beginning to sag and feel uneven, and the crawl space beneath the home stayed damp and humid no matter the season.
The longer the issues continued, the more obvious it became that the crawl space needed a full repair—not just a temporary fix.
Solution
After inspecting the crawl space, we found weakened support beneath the floors along with poor drainage and excess moisture throughout the area.
To strengthen the floor system, we installed 5 SmartJack® supports beneath the home to stabilize the sagging areas and provide solid long-term support.
To handle the moisture issues, the crew installed an EZ Flow drainage system along with a TripleSafe™ sump pump to collect and remove water before it could build up beneath the house. The crawl space was then sealed with the CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier, and a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was added to help keep humidity under control year-round.
