Crawl-space repairs involve fixing the issues with the foundation structure underneath your raised foundation floors.
Crawlspace foundations face the same destructive soil conditions as slab foundations, but the problems often go unnoticed for years because you can’t see what’s happening underneath your home. By the time you notice sagging floors or that unsettling “trampoline effect” when you walk across your living room, the damage underneath has often become extensive and expensive.
Here’s what’s typically happening in your crawlspace: The concrete or block pads that support the wooden posts holding up your floor are settling unevenly into unstable soil. As these pads sink or shift, the wooden posts they support become misaligned, transferring uneven loads throughout your floor system. Meanwhile, your perimeter stem-wall – the concrete footing that runs around your house – may be cracking or settling due to the same expansive soil conditions affecting the interior support system.
The result is floors that sag, bounce, or feel springy when you walk on them. Doors and windows may stick or show gaps. You might hear creaking or popping sounds as your floor joists stress under uneven support. These aren’t just annoying problems – they’re warning signs that your floor structure is losing its integrity.
Here’s how Bristol FX solves crawlspace foundation problems permanently: We install push piers or helical piers beneath settling support pads to transfer the load to stable soil or bedrock, eliminating future settlement. We replace failing wooden posts with adjustable steel posts that won’t rot, warp, or shift over time. For severely damaged areas, we install steel beam systems that redistribute floor loads across multiple support points. We stabilize sinking perimeter stem-walls using the same pier systems that support your main foundation, and we repair or replace damaged concrete pads with properly engineered footings designed for your specific soil conditions.
Our crawlspace repairs come with the same lifetime warranties as our foundation work because we address the root cause – unstable soil – rather than just treating the symptoms.
It’s wise to address these structural issues before they become serious problems that could require complete floor system replacement.
