The drainage matting will create a durable barrier that allows water to flow freely underneath, preventing moisture buildup and reducing the risk of mold, mildew, and structural damage in the crawl space.
Moisture caused the joists and subfloor to deteriorate by promoting wood rot, weakening the structural integrity, and creating an environment conducive to mold and mildew growth. Prolonged exposure to high humidity or water infiltration led to swelling, warping, and decay, compromising the stability of the flooring system.
The CleanSpace vapor barrier prevents moisture issues by sealing off the crawl space from ground moisture, reducing humidity levels, and blocking water vapor from entering the area. This helps protect the structure from mold, wood rot, and pests. The SmartJack support posts stabilize the space by providing additional structural support to sagging or uneven floors. They are installed on a stable base and can be adjusted to lift and level the floor system, ensuring long-term stability and safety.
Our team installed new joists by first removing all the damaged lumber to create a clean foundation. We carefully measured and cut the new joists to match the original layout, ensuring a precise fit. The new joists were then securely fastened to the existing framework using appropriate hardware, restoring structural integrity and providing a solid base for the new subfloor installation.
Our team installed SilverGlo insulation panels in the crawl space to enhance energy efficiency and create a thermal barrier. These panels help maintain consistent temperatures, reduce energy loss, and prevent moisture from condensing on surfaces, contributing to a drier and more comfortable living environment above.
Our team installed the new subfloor by first ensuring the joists were level and securely in place. We then cut the subfloor material to fit precisely over the joists, leaving no gaps. The subfloor panels were secured using screws or nails, ensuring a tight bond to prevent movement or squeaking. We also applied adhesive along the joists for added stability and to reduce the risk of future issues.
