Why did the customer contact us?

This homeowner contacted Americrawl after noticing sagging floors, uneven surfaces, and creaking noises throughout the main level of their home. Upon inspection, our team found extensive deterioration in several structural components of the crawl space, including the center beam, sill plates, and floor joists. Years of moisture exposure and wood rot had compromised the strength of these elements, putting the home’s stability at risk.

Solutions provided:

To restore the structure, Americrawl’s skilled technicians began by carefully removing the damaged center beam and replacing it with a new, treated lumber beam designed to resist future moisture and insect damage. This new beam provided immediate support to the home’s floor system, correcting much of the sagging.
The sill plates—critical components that transfer the load from the walls to the foundation—were also replaced where rot and decay had been found. Proper anchoring and sealing ensured long-lasting stability and protection against further deterioration.
Several floor joists were sistered  with new lumber to restore strength and load-bearing capacity. In areas with more severe damage, full joist replacements were completed to ensure the floor  was properly reinforced.
