Falling Crawl Space Insulation
Customer Doug B.'s crawl space was dark and wet with numerous problems such as falling insulation, incorrectly sealed ductwork, and splitting wood beams.
Moist Conditions
Mold and other living organisms love the dark conditions of crawl spaces; they multiply even quicker when high moisture levels exist as well.
Rotten Wood
If you are able to push a screwdriver through your joists easily, call Cantey! This is definitely unstable wood framing that can deteriorate at any moment.
Black Mold
This black mold is eating away the wood beams; this causes the structure to weaken, thus creating sagging floors.
Replacement of Sister Joists
To bring back the stability of the structure, Cantey's production crew replaced old moldy beams with treated lumber in the correct places.
Supplemental Beam
Cantey's Production Crew also replaced one of the supplemental beams that ran across the crawl space piers.
SmartJack Bulb of Influence
The SmartJack Bulb of Influence hole is first measured and dug 2ft x 2ft x 2ft.
Second Step of Bulb of Influence
After the Bulb of Influence is dug, it is then filled with gravel. This ensures that the SmartJack will not settle into the soil in the future.
