For the most part, the structure and substructures of our homes are built to last. But sometimes weather, pests, and other outside forces can do damage that the original builders or engineers didn’t anticipate.
The fact is, like many other parts of our home, the wooden substructure requires regular inspections. At Crawlspace Medic of Chesapeake, we know that it’s easy to procrastinate on getting this type of work done. But getting assistance from trusted professionals can help you avoid structural crawl space repair down the line.
We specialize in repairing dry rot and preventing it too. Moisture plus poor ventilation spells trouble for your crawl space. So we detect, inspect, and repair your crawl space to rid it of dry rot. With moisture control under your home, you can have peace of mind that your home is protected from serious and costly damage.
Sagging or uneven floors? Water in your basement or crawl space can cause damage to the framing and structural integrity of your entire house. If you’ve found yourself in that position, you know how frustrating and even devastating it can be. That’s why Crawlspace Medic is here to help you restore your home to strength and safety by repairing damage to framing and floor joists. With your home in sound condition, you’ll have the peace of mind you need to enjoy it for years to come.
Many homes built prior to 1960 have pier and beam (otherwise known as “block and base” or “post and beam” foundations) instead of concrete slabs that are common in new construction today. Pier and beam foundations start with concrete pads first, then concrete blocks and concrete or wood foundation beams. Everything from plumbing leaks to high humidity to poor drainage (and a host of other problems) can contribute to stress and structural damage to your home’s masonry and foundation. In need of post pier or beam replacements? Masonry cracked? No Problem.
Do you think termites have invaded your home? These small but mighty pests can cause incredible damage to your home, eating away at the wooden structural supports. Crawlspace Medic offers professional termite prevention and remediation for your home. We’ll perform a thorough professional inspection to detect any termite infestations and damage. Then we’ll give you a game plan both to repair and restore your home to safety and structural integrity.
Water damage can cost thousands of dollars to clean up and repair. But aside from the expense, water damage in your home can cost you even more in lost possessions as well as the gradual structural damage of your house. That’s why Crawlspace Medic uses both preventative and remedial measures to repair water damage and ensure your home is structurally sound for years to come. Most water damage can be prevented with relatively low expense–and save you a lot of hassle and expense in the future. You can prevent water damage from happening in the first place, starting with a home inspection of your basement or crawl space.
