Crawl Space Repair

Mold Treatment
Mold and mildew thrive in the damp, humid conditions found in crawl spaces. The best way to prevent microbial growth is to encapsulate the crawl space with a vapor barrier and install a dehumidifier.
Sinkhole Repair
The goal of sinkhole repair is to stabilize the area and prevent the sinkhole from reappearing. That means finding and eliminating the cause of the sinkhole. If water caused the sinkhole – and it usually does – then we need to get the water under control.

Common Crawl Space Problems in Knoxville
Crawl spaces are important to maintain, but they are prone to many problems that require professional attention to repair. Understanding the specific challenges you face as a homeowner can help you make an informed decision when hiring the right company for crawl space repair services in Knoxville.
Structural Damage
Any home with a crawl space is susceptible to certain structural issues that must be addressed. One of the most common structural problems we see is sagging floors, and repairs often require support jacks to lift and stabilize floor joists or beams to prevent further sagging and total structural failure.
The conditions within a crawl space can also damage a home's foundation. Water intrusion, for example, can cause a foundation to crack. As experienced structural repair professionals, however, we can provide the foundation repair services your home needs.
Moisture & Humidity
Knoxville's humid subtropical climate means moisture is a common issue in crawl spaces. High humidity levels, especially in the summer, can lead to condensation that promotes mold growth and wood rot. This can compromise the structural integrity of your home and create health hazards.
Installing a vapor barrier and encapsulating a crawl space is crucial for moisture control. Sealing a vapor barrier to crawl space walls helps prevent ground moisture from entering the crawl space, reducing the risk of mold and wood rot. Additionally, using dehumidifiers can help maintain lower humidity levels.
Flooding & Water Intrusion
Knoxville receives more than 50 inches of precipitation annually, nearly twice the national average. Heavy rainfall is expected in the spring and fall, and flooding can cause significant damage to crawl spaces. This sudden water intrusion threatens to undermine a house and promotes mold and wood rot, which cause ongoing damage long after the rain stops.
United Structural Systems can help you address the source of any damage flooding may have caused to your crawl space, and we can repair or install new drainage systems that help move rainwater and snowmelt away from your home.
Pest Infestations
The climate around Knoxville can make a cool, dark, and damp crawl space the ideal habitat for various critters. From small rodents such as mice and rats to destructive insects like termites, a crawl space left in disrepair can host wildlife that causes even more damage to a home.
Our crawl space repair services in Knoxville include sealing the area from intrusions around the property. We can repair broken or missing vent covers and crawl space doors when encapsulating your crawl space to make your home inaccessible to larger pests. Addressing moisture problems, repairing wood rot, and encapsulation can make your crawl space less appealing to insects.
