What Causes Wood Rot?

Badrottenjoists

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.

Fixing Rotten Wooden Structures in Homes

Fixedjoist

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.

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.

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!

Great customer service. Fantastic work under the house along with follow through to ensure everything was complete. Our Moisture and Termite inspector said it was the best "under house" inspection he'd done!
