Rotting Wood In North Carolina Crawl Spaces

Are The Wooden Components In Your Crawl Space Rotten? Coastal Can Help

If the wooden joists or beams in your crawl space are rotting, your home is unsafe. You can tell if you have rotting wood because your crawl space has a musty, earthy smell and if your floors have become soft or begun to sag. The experts at Coastal have decades of combined experience replacing and stabilizing any wood affected by rot within a crawl space.

Why Is The Wood In My Crawl Space Rotting?

Your crawl space has a mold problem because it isn’t protected against moisture and high humidity. Crawl spaces without encapsulations are exposed to the elements, such as condensation, groundwater seepage, or flooding. When this moisture combines with North Carolina's extreme heat and humidity, you have the perfect environment for mold to thrive.

How Can Coastal Stop And Repair Wood Rot?

To remedy rotting wood in a crawl space, Coastal is here to help. We provide homeowners with lasting solutions, such as:

Wood Repair

Wood repair involves sistering the joists or replacing the damaged wood in your crawl space. The experts at Coastal have decades of combined experience repairing and replacing wood joists and support beams.

Crawl Space Supports

Coastal offers extremely high-strength, permanent Steel support jacks that are fully adjustable. These supports are designed to permanently stabilize and lift a sagging floor, so your home is safe and secure.

Encapsulation

The best way to solve crawl space problems is through a process known as “encapsulation.” This process involves installing a 20 mil thick reinforced vapor barrier, a sump pump, a dehumidification system, and 2” thick wall insulation only after every opening or penetration leading to the outside has been sealed. Once encapsulated, your crawl space will be dry and safe from high relative humidity, condensation, moisture, mold, or other fungal growth, as well as smells and airborne particles that sensitive people are affected by.

  Had them come out, being a local "mom and pop" business, their prices are much lower. Using the same products as other nationwide companies you get the same stuff from them.  Took them one day to install everything (1100sqft) and the second day to run electrical to the systems.

  Prior to reaching out to Coastal Crawl Space I called every craw space company in the area and studied their methods and pricing and Coastal Crawl Space & Foundation Repair turned out to be the best. They use proper techniques, high quality materials and I haven't felt pushed towards unnecessarily overpriced features, so not only they provide best quality work but their pricing is competitive.
Andy and Justin are hones and to the point. I initially assumed that I need expensive subfloor replacement but they assured me that encapsulation and dehumidification must be done first and there's no way around it which I found to be true. They examined the floor 2 months after encapsulation and guess what - turned out no subfloor replacement needed - all wood dried out and in good shape!
And I want to give SPECIAL THANKS to SHAWN, the electrician. He helped me to install and troubleshoot my custom remote humidity monitoring equipment in the encapsulated crawl space. Shawn treated my custom setup as his own. He went above and beyond, made many suggestions and multiple visits to adjust things until I was satisfied.
I highly recommend Coastal Crawl Space & Foundation and they are absolutely the best in the area!

  Crawl space was damp ground, insulation kept falling down, and plastic on the ground had shifted leaving bare ground visible - hated having to go under the house to change water filter yearly. I have severe allergies to both mold and mildew - while we didn't have mold growth yet on the wood under the house it was going to be growing in due time.  We did have several cold spots on the floors inside of the house from where the insulation no longer existed. Andy and his guys came in gave me a great quote, answered all my questions including explaining why and quickly remediated all of my issues, adding in a dehumidifier and sump pump for long term hands off management - no more having to remember to open or close vents or crawling under to replace fallen insulation (between moisture and USMC ranges it liked to fall).  Cold spots on the floor have disappeared (much to the dogs disappointment) and slight damp ground smell we would occassionally detect has completely disappeared. I can't say enough good things about the crew that did the work; they were quick, efficient, and respectful/courteous - took them about a day and a half to complete - even worked around my schedule when needed.  I was left with a pristine crawl space that I have no problem accessing when I need. Looks better than it did when it was new construction.

  To be honest I've never even seen my crawlspace, actually never had one up north. Took advice from my family and they came and did their thing. Having them back this month for annual inspection. Great company!
