• Expansive soil: This is one of the major crawl space foundation problems. It can happen by the absorption of water that ultimately puts pressure on the foundation wall of the crawl space. In the extreme case, it can cause bowing walls. A good drainage system can prevent that.
• Foundation settlement: Weak or unstable soil can't provide proper support to the foundation. Due to that also foundation problems can occur in the crawl space. Note that, the same type of problem can occur in the basement but the causes and repair are not fully the same.
• Foundation heave: It's the result of upward force by the soil on the foundation. Increasing moisture, freezing or thawing, etc. are the main reasons for that which triggers cracks in the foundational parts, uneven floor, sewer line damage, etc.
• Slopping floors: Slopping floors are not the direct reason for the foundation problems in the crawl space. However, it can be taken as a crawl space foundation problem.

Apart from that there are other repair services we work for including drywall cracks, steam wall repair, post & pad replacement, etc.
