What Causes Wood Rot?
Because more than 50% of the air in your home comes up through your crawl space, keeping it clean and dry is vital to the overall health of you and your family. But there’s another, equally sinister reason to take a look at what’s going on under your home: structural damage.

If too much moisture gets into your crawl space, it will eventually take a toll on the wooden structures that support your entire home. These floor joists and beams will become saturated over time, losing their structural integrity and putting your entire home at risk of collapse. If you suspect structural damage has taken hold of your crawl space, don’t wait. Call our team in Virginia Beach about our wood rot and crawl space moisture repair options.
Symptoms of Wood Rot
The easiest way to find out if wooden structures in your crawl space are rotting is to take a peek and check it out. Virginia Foundation Solutions offers free inspections so you can leave the muddy work to us. However, if you want to diagnose the problem on your own, here are some common symptoms of crawl space wood rot:
- Bouncing or springy floors on the main level
- Drywall cracks
- Foul, musty odors
- Gaps at the junction of walls and floors
- Heightened allergies or asthma symptoms
- Sloping, sagging, uneven floors
Fixing Rotten Wooden Structures in Homes
When you need to repair rotten wood in a crawl space, the word “repair” can be misleading. Once wood rot has set in, your best chance of properly repairing a structure is to completely replace all the affected areas with new, undamaged wood.
Based in Virginia Beach, our wood rot and crawl space moisture repair specialists will get into your crawl space, assess the damage, and remove all traces of mold and rot. Then, we’ll install the replacement wood and seal your crawl space to ensure the problem doesn’t resurface.

Reviews
Quality materials and workmanship. Matt answered all our questions, even after hours, and Miguel and his crew were efficient and resolved all issues immediately. A very satisfied customer.
Professional and courteous at all time. Crew was on site for 4 days in terrible weather and never missed a beat. Kept us informed, did what they planned and kept the areas near and clean. A really great crew.
VFS crew did a wonderful job. They worked effectively together to complete our project. They used care in making sure our lawn was not ruined and they cleaned up their work area when completed.
Work was completed as promised. Purple crew was prompt, professional, and considerate of our home. Zero complaints
I highly recommend this company. They had the best price, quality work and it was completed on time, which is rare these days. It’s not easy so I commend the crew on their hard work!
Everything looks GREAT and the finished crawlspace was better than we expected. The RED crew did a great job and left the entire worksite cleaner than it was when they arrived.
We recently used VFS to install an interior french drain and sump pump in our finished lower level. The "purple crew" was assigned to our job and they were fabulous!!! They were timely, neat, respectful and hardworking. We are very happy with the job they did.
The yellow crew (Willy, Marco, Oscar, and Patrick) were VERY professional and hard working. They kept us informed every step of the way. The clean up at end of the workday was exceptional. The best part is my foundation is fixed and our crawlspace is the cleanest crawlspace I have ever seen.
The workers were very professional, experienced and knowledgeable. They left the crawlspace with reinforced support beams. A supervisor checked their work in the afternoon.
VFS did a great job on our house’s foundation in double quick time and when they left our yard was cleaner and tidier than it was when they came! Thank you all. The masonry team also did a wonderful job. The damaged brickwork looks as good as new. Well done!
