Crawl Space Problems
Crawl space is built directly beneath your home, it plays a key role in your home's structural integrity. Crawl spaces bear the weight of a home through foundation walls and support columns. These support systems become compromised when the soils beneath the support posts cannot bear the weight, due to shifting or erosion of soil caused by several different factors. When the support columns are compromised or spaced too far apart, interior floors will slope, sag and sink, creating gaps between the floor and walls. Cracks in interior walls and out-of-level door frames are caused by a wall sinking along with the floor. When foundations encounter moisture and water damage, they compromise the home's structure. Moisture and water damage can be caused by cracked foundations which creates an entry point for water. Water entering the crawl space can lead to serious problems for your home and health. Moisture and water damage can cause mold growth, wood rot, foul air accumulation, attract rodents and pests, weaken foundation and raise heating and cooling costs. At Arizona Foundation Works, we specialize in various crawl space repairs. Whatever problems you may be encountering, we have quality products and the knowledge and experience to offer you the best solutions for your needs. We will save you time and money and create a healthier living space so you don't have to live with crawl space problems.
What To Look For
Crawl space problems are caused by many factors. The most common sources are: inadequate structural design, open crawl space vents, exposed dirt in crawl spaces, poor drainage, improper grading, poorly compacted soil, expansive soil and heavy rainfalls and humidity. The type of crawl space foundation contributes to the condition of your crawl space due to the fact that some foundations absorb water more than others. Concrete blocks and stone wall foundations absorb the most water, creating mold growth and settlement issues. The symptoms of crawl space problems are: drywall cracks in the interior, uneven sloped floors, foul odors in the home, heightened allergies, floor cracks, sagging floors, water seepage, sinking crawl space supports, rotting floor joists, and foundation failure.

If your crawl space is causing structural issues we offer crawl space support jacks.

We offer an effective solution of crawl space encapsulation, which is a vapor barrier system. A high performance crawl space vapor barrier designed to prevent moisture from entering the crawl space. This process of encapsulation guards against mold, mildew, allergens, fungus, radon gas, wood rot, and overall degradation of the crawl space.
