Why does a crawlspace floor start sagging years after the house was built? On Alpine's bench lots, it's usually the same spring runoff that affects basements. Except here it's rotting support posts and softening soil under the house instead of leaking through a wall.

Alpine Foundation Pros fixes both sides of the problem: structural support for sagging floors and moisture control to keep it from happening again. One without the other is a half-fix.

FAQs

Crawl Space Repair FAQs

How long does crawl space encapsulation take and is it worth it?

Encapsulation alone usually takes a day or two depending on square footage. It's worth it if you're dealing with recurring moisture or musty odors, since it addresses the source instead of masking it with a dehumidifier.

What causes a sagging crawlspace floor?

Weakened or rotting support posts, often from long-term moisture exposure, are the most common cause. On bench lots, runoff-saturated soil can also soften footings under original support posts.

Is this a DIY project?

Minor humidity control can be DIY. Sagging floors or failing support posts need a pro, since incorrect jack placement can cause uneven lifting or further damage.

Do I need a permit?

Usually not for support jack replacement or vapor barrier work. Structural beam changes can require one.

What affects crawl space repair pricing?

Square footage, number of support points needing correction, and moisture severity all factor into the final price.
