A common reason why your floors are cold is improper installation of insulation in your crawlspace. Contact Doc Crawlspace LLC to assess the situation.

A high water table and hydrostatic pressure are two common causes of basement wall leaks. Call Doc Crawlspace LLC to investigate your situation.

There are two types of contractors out there: one who genuinely wants to help you, and the other who wants to sell you. High-pressure sales with on-site contract offers and discounts are RED FLAGS! Pushy salesmen sell for profit and don't care about the overall product. Someone who is paid commission does not care about your job; their eyes are on your money!

The rising cost of gas and electricity is an important influencer, but not the only reason. Foundations are the most important part of our home; they determine the overall condition of our home. A weak foundation can cause structural damage to our home, and an unhealthy foundation can harm our families.

Simply put, yes! Each step ensures that every situation is covered. It is usually more affordable to do everything at once than to come back to fix something and then add the missing step.

After the crawlspace is encapsulated, we no longer deal with ground moisture; instead, we address the thermal barrier. The thermal barrier is where hot and cold converge. During the warmer months, the sun is closer to the Earth, and its rays warm the foundation, which, in turn, warms the materials. Because the crawlspace is generally cooler, the warm materials may sweat or condensate. The dehumidifier helps to draw moisture off the materials.

Crawlspace restoration should never be a one-and-done process. It's akin to buying a car. You wouldn't simply keep driving that car without changing the fluids or performing regular maintenance. We recommend and offer maintenance programs to ensure that your crawlspace remains in its best condition for years to come.

During the winter, as we heat our house, hot air naturally rises. Without the proper insulation R-value in your attic, we lose that heat, resulting in a colder home and higher heating bills. Furthermore, when hot air rises into the attic, it warms the space and can cause condensation, leading to mold growth and warped wood. Proper insulation in the attic is crucial not only for maintaining a comfortable home but also for the longevity of our roof.

Low-pressure crack injection is the best method for repairing a basement wall crack. We start by adding ports to the wall, then apply sealant to prevent foam injection from escaping. The foam expands within the crack, completely sealing it and preventing water from entering and further deterioration of the crack. On average, crack injection costs between $700 and $800 for an 8-foot crack.

Power posts are thick-wall steel posts that support the main beam under your home. Floors sag for various reasons. Sometimes it's due to the pillars holding the main beam being spaced too far apart. If they are spaced too far apart, we can add another pier and power post to help support the extra load, which can make the floors more level. One of the great features of power posts is their adjustability. All power posts are custom-fit to the specific situation.

This is a question that should be left up to the professionals. There are many types of pumps available, each varying in cost. However, while cost is a significant factor, it should never be the primary consideration when choosing a pump. Selecting the right sump pump is crucial, and there are several factors to consider before making a decision on the appropriate horsepower pump to use. Among these factors are the pump's run time and cycling. Most common sump pumps activate between 4-5 inches of water. While this may be sufficient in some cases, areas with high water tables may lead to frequent pump cycling. The constant on-off cycle can wear out the float switch, rendering the pump still functional but with a faulty switch. Alternatively, the switch may stick, causing the pump to run continuously until it burns out. Personally, I prefer pumps equipped with a pressure sensor switch. These pumps activate less frequently, resulting in the removal of more water per cycle and reducing overall wear and tear. Pressure sensor switches also tend to have a longer lifespan, with minimal risk of sticking.
