Why did the customer contact us?

This homeowner contacted Americrawl after noticing soft spots in their floors, uneven surfaces, and signs of water intrusion in the crawl space. Our inspection revealed two main issues: structural wood deterioration caused by long-term moisture exposure and groundwater entering the crawl space during heavy rains.

Solutions provided:

To restore the structure, Our Crews performed floor joist repairs, replacing or sistering damaged joists to restore strength and load capacity. In addition, sections of the sill plate—the critical connection point between the foundation and the walls—were replaced where rot and decay had compromised stability. These repairs immediately improved the levelness and support of the flooring system.
To address the water intrusion, we installed our proven AmeriSystem® drainage system along the interior perimeter of the crawl space. This system channels groundwater directly to the AmeriSump® sump pump station, a high-performance sump pump designed to efficiently remove collected water and discharge it safely away from the foundation. Together, these components protect the crawl space from standing water, reduce humidity levels, and help preserve the structural wood for years to come.
