The Hidden Cost Of Ignoring Your Crawl Space

2026-09-18T00:00:00.05Z

Crawl spaces are often dirty, damp, and cramped — making it very tempting to completely ignore.

However, many crawl spaces are poorly built, even in brand new builds. Without proper waterproofing or an encapsulation, moisture builds inside the home... a home filled with organic materials and live in by people.

We've seen many beautiful homes with wet crawl spaces that cost its owners extra money in heating and cooling costs and rot the home from the inside out.

How do you spot the signs of a damp crawl space, and what hidden costs are you paying — now, and down the road? We'll answer those questions here.

A "dry" crawl space with clear signs of water vapor intrusion

How does water damage occur in the crawl space?

Idaho is currently having an exceptionally dry year, so you might be wondering how water damage can still occur in the crawl space. It's a great question!

It starts with the way crawl spaces are constructed.

Most crawl spaces either have dirt crawl spaces, or a flimsy, thin liner that is only between 6 to 9 mil thick and doesn't adequately protect the crawl space from water vapor. This is where all the water damage comes from.

Water vapor is such a pervasive issue in the crawl space because earth retains incredible moisture. Whether due to rain or irrigation, moisture builds in the earth and as damp soil dries beneath the home, it releases that water vapor upwards.

More Humidity, More Problems

Building water vapor in the crawl space and raising the humidity invites problems such as:

wood rot
mold
dust mites
pests
structural damage

Lastly, a humid crawl space forces your HVAC system to work harder, costing more money to cool and heat your home.

The Hidden Costs

1) Your health

A healthy crawl space makes your home healthier too. Over 40% of the air you breathe on the first floor of your home comes from the crawl space. If it's affected by mold or dust mites, the #1 indoor allergen in the US, then you might see a huge difference in your air quality after encapsulating your home.

2) Your wallet

After encapsulating the home, your crawl space becomes far more energy-efficient, one study showing that you can save anywhere between 15-20% on your energy bill with a full encapsulation and wall insulation. Also, you help prevent future structural damages, such as wood rot, which could cause problems like floor failure down the road.

3) Your comfort

An encapsulation with full wall insulation makes your home more comfortable all year round by making your floors warmer in winter, and improving the smell of your home by eliminating moisture and microbial growth.

How Do Helical Piers Stabilize Foundations?

2026-08-27T00:00:00.05Z

Helical Piers in Middleton, ID

If your home is settling, it can be tempting to simply fill the foundation cracks and ignore the structural damage.

However, the damage will only get worse and worse every year. If you keep filling a patch, soon you'll be filling a patch with another patch.

Plus, your home value can be greatly impacted by foundation settlement. Realtors report that foundation damage can impact a home's value as much as 15-30%!

To address the root cause of your home's settlement, it may be time to consider repair options such as helical piers.

But how do they really work? We're here to break it down.

To Fix Settlement, We Need To Address the Root Cause

What's the root cause of settlement? Unstable soil. As moisture and different soil types cause movement, they can stop being load-bearing and ultimately cause your home to sink.

While it's technically true that foundation settlement is 'normal' — many homes are surrounded by unstable soil — you wouldn't say that broken arms are uncommon either. And a broken arm needs to be fixed.

The good news is that the fix for settlement can be long-lasting and permanent, thanks to solutions such as Supportworks helical piers.

How Helical Piers Stabilize Your Home

To address unstable soil, we need a system that will shift the weight of the home from unstable soil, onto deeper, competent strata.

That's exactly what our helical piers do.

Named after their unique design, our helical piers are mechanically screwed into deep, bedrock soils with one or more helix-shaped blades welded into the shaft. These piers not only stabilize your home, but can even lift homes back towards its original position.

They also provide minimal disturbance, and a quicker installation compared to other solutions (such as total foundation replacement or concrete underpinning).

Lastly, this solution fixes the problem once and for all.

It's important to hire experienced helical pier installers, so they know how far to advance the pier. If you're located in Idaho, then we're your local choice for Supportworks helical piers! Give us a call for a FREE estimate.

Eliminate Wildfire Smoke and Air Pollution In Your Home With the Aspen Air System

2026-07-30T00:00:00.05Z

The Aspen in our Meridian office!

Has smoke been causing irritation, coughing, and sickness for you and your family?

You're not alone.

In the past few weeks, Idaho has been heavily affected by wildfire smoke — especially in the Treasure Valley. The Idaho of Environmental Quality has even issued Red/Unhealthy air quality advisories for multiple counties, including Ada, Canyon and Payette county.

If you want immediate and long-term relief, we think you should give us a call and ask about getting an Aspen Air System. (We even provide free in-home trials!)

How Does The Aspen's Hospital-Grade 3-Stage Air Filtration Work?

The Aspen draws in air from the bottom, where it runs through our 3 stage filtration system. Then, air exists out the top, goes across to the ceiling, down the walls, and back to the Aspen to clean the air from the entire space.

With ducts distributing air into and out of the room, the Aspen will positively impact the air quality of the entire home.

Why 3 Stages?

If your air purifier only operates with one type of filter, it's probably not capturing all the pollutants that you expect.

Different filters are designed for different pollutants. Aspen's filters are custom-designed for maximum airflow and filtration effectiveness. The rest of the unit is designed around its filters.

Stage 1: Allergy Filter

First, our Merv 14 rated allergy filter removes all kinds of irritants, including:

Pollen
Mold spores
pet dander
dust mite droppings
coarse dust
asbestos
fiberglass insulation
sneeze droplets

Stage 2: Activated Carbon Filter

Containing 3.3 pounds of activated carbon, this filter removes:

VOCs (volatile organic compounds, such as paint fumes)
Odors
Formaldehyde
Chemicals
Tobacco Smoke

Stage 3: Microparticle HEPA Filter

Finally, this filter removes more than 99.97% of particles, down to 0.1 microns, including:

Smoke/soot
Smog
Bacteria
Viruses
Ultrafine dust
PM2.5

Why Pick The Aspen Over Competitors?

Not only does the Aspen provide all this protection, but it's 100% safe. Some air purifiers use technologies (like UV lights, ionizers, or ozone generators) that can be actually harmful to your health or have other adverse effects. Our units use exclusively safe purification methods and guaranteed not to produce ozone.

Additionally, the Aspen runs ultra efficient, using 85% less electricity than a traditional AC fan at a given air flow volume.

Lastly, you only need to change Aspen filters once a year, and it can cover up to 1,500 sq ft per unit. With easy-to-use controls, you don't have to mess around with complicated menus, schedules, apps, and more time enjoying your clean air.

We Provide Free In-Home Trials!

If you'd like a free estimate to have hospital-grade clean air for your whole home, give us a call! You can even give the Aspen a trial run in your home to see how well it works for you.

Why Floors Begin To Sag or Slope - And How To Fix It

2026-06-10T00:00:00.05Z

Some people are so used to their sloping or sagging floors, they're surprised to learn that it can be fixed.

Other people start replacing floorboards before calling a crawl space expert.

Why? At the end of the day, not many people know why floors begin sagging.

In this article, we'll break down why floors begin sagging, and a trustworthy, long-term solution to fix it.

Reason #1: Existing Columns Are Spaced Too Far Apart

If you go into your crawl space, you'll either find block, brick, or even wood columns throughout to support the weight of your home. Sometimes, those columns are built too far apart, and the beam above becomes overloaded, sagging between columns. The girder sags with it, and so does the floor above.

Reason #2: Floor Joists And Girders Have Weakened

What happens when wood has been exposed to moisture? It begins to rot. If you have a weak, flimsy plastic liner in your crawl space (or no liner at all!), humidity and water vapor from the earth can be exposed to the wood beams, weakening them and causing the floors to become 'bouncy'.

Reason #3: Existing Columns Have Settled

Problem soils can cause your existing columns to settle, just like it does for your foundation. Over time, weak or unstable soils will create a gap between the top of the column and the bottom of the girder it was supporting. As part of the chain reaction, the girder sags, then the floors above sag.

How Do I Fix My Sagging Floors?

For sagging floors, we recommend our heavy duty SmartJack system. It's a steel support system used to stabilize and level the girders and floor joists in a crawl space, and can support loads many times grater than what's actually required to stabilize a sagging floor. SmartJacks do not replace the existing columns, but, rather, add strength and stability to what is there. They also are built on engineered fill, which address the root cause of settlement by providing reliable, stable strata to distribute the weight of the home evenly. Best of all, this is a long-term solution with a 25-year warranty, transferrable if you decide to sell your home. If you're curious, ask us about our free estimates!

How Do I Prevent Damp Basement Floors?

2026-05-08T00:00:00.05Z

It's the worst feeling when you walk onto an unexpectedly damp floor.

If the damp floor isn't caused by seeping water (which can be resolved with a basement waterproofing system), then it may be due to simply having concrete floors. Even after installing a full-perimeter waterproof system, the porous concrete flooring of your basement still releases water vapor.

This makes it important to choose your basement flooring wisely.

Wait a second! I have a sump pump. Can my floors still become damp?

Yes. To prevent damp flooring and a 'musty' smell in your basement over time, you will want to consider what kind of flooring you're using.

If you have a waterproofing system in your basement, it may be confusing why this happens. A full-perimeter drainage system and sump pump, for example, will remove the water around the footing and basement, sending it away from the foundation and keeping the basement dry. However, the floors can still become damp over time due to a simple fact — the basement floors are probably made of concrete.

Concrete is porous. Over time, water vapor passes through concrete. It's such a slow process that it rarely will ever form pools of water.

However, the water vapor can accumulate and may become trapped in any organic wood or carpet you install over it.

This can cause the musty smell that makes basements uncomfortable and unpleasant.

Our Recommendation — ThermalDry

ThermalDry provides specialty basement flooring made of 100% inorganic material that will never warp or rot.

ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring

Real wood should never be installed on a basement floor, as it will absorb water vapor and swell — eventually getting moldy and rotted. Even a single plumbing leak can ruin a wooden floor in minutes.

Our Elite Plank Flooring is the answer to these problems. It has no wood at all, while providing a luxurious wooden look and feel! Plus, this flooring can easily be removed, dried out, and reinstalled if there is ever a plumbing leak — no need for a replacement.

It's available in four beautiful finishes: Light Pecan, Walnut, Espresso, and Gray.

ThermalDry Floor Matting

Looking to install a carpet, but still want the benefits of ThermalDry flooring? Our unfinished ThermalDry Floor matting panels provide air space under the floor and a thermal break from the cold slab. This creates a subfloor that will not rot, grow mold or be damaged from a leak.

The Cost Of Waiting: What Happens When Foundation Problems Get Worse?

2026-01-29T00:00:00.05Z

If you have a crack in your foundation, you might not be in a rush to get it fixed. It's true that foundation issues can take years to develop -- however, waiting to get it fixed can lead to major repairs down the road. To fix the foundation of your home, the costs can cost tens of thousands of dollars, or even more depending on the size of the home.

For homeowners who plan to do any remodeling, this can be a crucial step in preventing worsening the damage and ensuring your home improvement project starts on the right foot(ing).

What kind of damages can you expect to happen? Let's break it down.

Our team installing helical piers!

'Sticking' Windows And Doors

As your home gradually becomes more unlevel, your windows and doors will 'stick' to the frame, becoming difficult to move or adjust. This is because the frame is shifting with the sinking movement of the home. As your foundation issues become worse, so does the 'sticking'. You may even see cracking in the corner of the door frame or window frame. You can cover these cracks temporarily. However, at some point, some parts of the home may be almost impossible to fix without repairing the foundation first. You don't want a door in your home that's so difficult to open, it risks your safety.

Sagging Floors

When the supports in your crawl space begin to soften or rot, you may notice sagging or sloped floors in your home. While there are temporary fixes, they cost time, money, and don't fix the underlying problem: your home's support.

Stair-Step Cracking

Stair-step cracking in brick or block walls can happen as homes settle, widening as time goes on. These cracks allow outside air and moisture to get into the infrastructure of your home, and covering them temporarily won't stop the problem long-term.

Wall Failure

In the very worst cases, cracked, bowing and/or tipping foundation walls are not only scary to look at, but cause wall failure or collapse. However, don't panic! We have many permanent solutions for this problem.

If left untreated, any signs of these problems can also devalue the home -- realters report this devaluation can be anywhere between 15 to 30%. If you're paying for it while living in the home, and while selling the home, then why not get it done now? Contact us today and we'll get you a free inspection and estimate from our team.

What Does An Ideal Crawl Space Look Like - And What Are The Benefits?

2025-12-18T00:00:00.05Z

Why should you care about your crawl space, and improving the conditions inside an area of your home that you might rarely access?

The answer comes down to one word: moisture.

The Problem With Most Crawl Spaces

Moisture is the enemy of a healthy, stable home, but, unfortunately, many homes have dirt crawl spaces or very thin, flimsy liners in their crawl spaces.

Without a proper encapsulation, the moisture retained by the earth beneath the home can create a humid environment — causing mold, wood rot, dust mites, insects, and critters to thrive. But other problems can be caused without a great encapsulation system, too.

So, what does an ideal crawl space really look like? Let's break it down.

Everything An Ideal Crawl Space Needs

Full Perimeter Drainage System

To drain moisture and water from your crawl space, you need a reliable way to draw in groundwater across all areas of the crawl space. We do this by installing our StarPipe© drainage system around the full perimeter of the crawl space. It not only collects groundwater, but it does so without clogging thanks to its filter mesh and unique star-shaped design. This system brings groundwater to the sump pump, which will then remove the water from the crawl space.

Powerful, Reliable Sump Pump

To remove water from the crawl space, you need a pumping system that'll keep up in times of hard rain, or even in emergency situations where the power might go out. That's where our TripleSafe© comes in. It's not only able to pump up to 6,200 gallons of water per hour out of your crawl space, but it even has a DC operated pump that'll activate in the event of a power outage.

CleanSpace and SilverGlo

Heavy, Thick Plastic Liner

To protect the home from water vapor and moisture, you need a heavy, thick vapor barrier to be permanently sealed across every edge and pipe penetration in your crawl space. We recommend our CleanSpace© liner. At 20 mil thick, it's over twice as thick as industry standard liners and is manufactured in seven layers for optimal puncture resistance, brute tear resistance, and flexibility. We permanently seal all seams, edges, and pipe penetrations, and it comes with a 25-year warranty against any rips or tears.

Well-Designed Discharge Line

To send discharged water away from your foundation, you need a discharge line that allows water to escape even if the pipes freeze or clog for any reason. That's why we recommend our IceGuard discharge system, which allows the water to escape without flooding your crawl space - no matter what.

Insulation That Will Never Rot

To save money on your energy bills, you need to insulate the crawl space walls and flooring. We recommend our SilverGlo© crawl space wall insulation and TerraBlock© crawl space floor insulation. SilverGlo© is a 2" foamboard panel infused with graphite with an R-11 value, and has a radiant barrier that reflects heat back into the home. TerraBlock© is a 3/4" flexible foamboard that has a vapor barrier on both sides, and ensures your encapsulation is not only more durable, but also retains more heat, making your energy bills more affordable.

If you'd like to get an estimate for your perfect crawl space, contact us today! We'll help you set up an appointment with a System Design Specialist, and create a crawl space that'll make your home healthier, safer, more comfortable, and cheaper to own.

Why Budget-Savvy Homeowners Love Our Crawl Space Encapsulations and Insulation

2025-11-17T00:00:00.05Z

Insulation is one of the best home improvement projects you can choose if you're looking to immediately lower the cost of homeownership—as it can significantly lower your heating bills.

But, why the crawl space? It might surprise you that the answer starts with condensation and moisture.

Although it's a commonly forgotten area of the home, the crawl space is a common victim to the most issues with moisture due to groundwater or especially during heavy rain.

In a damp crawl space, your home—including existing insulation—can soak up the water and create a very humid environment for mold, wood rot, insects, critters, and dust mites to thrive. It also causes condensation on your air ducts, which makes your HVAC more expensive to run. To prevent this from happening, you need a crawl space encapsulation. And, if you'd like to be especially savvy with your home improvement budget, we highly recommend adding crawl space insulation with it.

A CleanSpace© and SilverGlo© Installation With TerraBlock© Beneath

Why Crawl Space Insulation?

You can save anywhere between 15-25% on your heating and cooling costs with proper crawl space insulation, depending on numerous structural factors of your home. However, if you have ducts in the crawl space, you especially benefit from crawl space insulation.

While we might like to think of our HVAC system as completely separate from our crawl space, the truth is that your crawl space environment not only affects your HVAC, but your overall home. In fact, over 50% of the air in your crawl space is circulated through the first floor of your home. If that air is damp, musty, or moldy, then it affects the health of your overall home as well.

With a crawl space encapsulation with insulation, you will not only protect the energy efficiency and air quality of your home, but also your air ducts from moisture (which makes it more expensive for your HVAC to run).

After consulting the building science, we've found the two most effective ways to insulate your crawl space are via the walls and the floors. Here's more information on both, and why we don't insulate directly below your floors, into the floor joists.

Your Floors Are Already Inside Your Home—There's No Need To Insulate The Floor Joists

Insulation should always be installed against the air boundary surface of the house. Because your floors are the boundary between two inside spaces of your home, you don't need to insulate it. That insulation is better spent on your crawl space walls and floors, where it's a boundary between inside your home and the outside elements.

We will seal and insulate between floor joists against the wall, but the main goal is to seal all outside air leaks and insulate the walls and floors to make your crawl space a conditioned space in the home—and a friendly space for your air ducts.

Crawl Space Wall Insulation

Our SilverGlo© crawl space wall insulation is made of polystyrene foam with graphite, resisting heat flow with superior R-value per inch. Additionally, it strengthens the waterproofing benefits of a CleanSpace© encapsulation, and features a radiant barrier which reflects heat back into the home for ultimate energy savings.

Crawl Space Floor Insulation

Our TerraBlock© crawl space floor insulation helps prevent heat loss due to exposure to the earth. The earth is about 55 degrees Fahrenheit year round, and we typically want our homes to be about 71 degrees Fahrenheit. With TerraBlock©, its expanded polystyrene foam insulation with vapor barrier on both sides not only fortifies the waterproofing ability of your encapsulation, but designed to maximize the temperature difference expected between the inside of your crawl space and the earth.

4 Signs Of Wall Failure For Concrete Block Foundation Walls

2025-10-17T00:00:00.05Z

Seeing your walls begin to crack or bow can be very scary—but maybe you're unsure if a wall crack is purely cosmetic or is a symptom of a larger problem.

We hear you. Homeowners address their wall and foundation problems often because foundation issues can lower the value of their home drastically. So, here's what you need to know about wall failure for concrete block foundation walls.

1. Horizontal cracking.

This type of cracking near the middle of the wall is one of the first symptoms you might notice when the wall begins to bow. They usually start out small and increase in width over time as the soil outside continues to put pressure on the wall.

2. Stair-step cracking at the corners.

When these "staircase" cracks begin to show in the corners of a bowing wall, you can take it as a common sign of potential wall failure. It usually means the problem is getting worse, and, the longer the wall bows in the middle, the more the corners are held up by adjacent walls, creating the stair-step cracking effect.

3. Pushing in at the bottom of the wall.

If your basement walls are pushing in severely, the wall may be sliding inward near the bottom. This usually happens when the concrete floor in the basement holds the bottom row of blocks in place as the rest of the wall slides in. This is called "shearing."

4. Leaning in at the top of the wall.

When you see a concrete block foundation wall beginning to lean in at the top, that means the problem is very serious. This means the connection of your foundation wall to the framing of the house has been compromised. This happens when the rest of the signs of wall failure are ignored and the problem has been allowed to worsen.

How Do I Fix My Failing Walls?

Depending on the situation, there's any number of foundation solutions that could solve the problem. For example, carbon fiber straps can successfully reinforce a wall when it's bowing in the middle and hasn't started to slide in at the bottom or lean in at top. It doesn't require any digging or use of large equipment inside the home, making it a good option if there's limited access to the foundation walls. However, they won't help if you have major compromises to your home's structural integrity.

It's best to call a specialist. Luckily, we'll give your home a FREE inspection—call and book an appointment today!

The Best Dirt Crawl Space Solution- And The Worst

2025-09-26T00:00:00.05Z

Maybe you don't have pools of water in your crawl space, or maybe you have a reliable sump pump to deplete the water from your crawl space.

However, you still have a dirt crawl space, and, therefore, have a water vapor issue.

You might know that water vapor (and the bugs) that come from the earth will do long-lasting damage to your home. But did you know that not all solutions for this problem are made equally?

Criteria For A Great Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Solution

When deciding how to isolate your crawl space (and your home) from the earth, there are a few important considerations to make. The solution must:

Stop water vapor from flowing up from the soil
Stop water vapor from flowing through or off the crawl space walls
Allow water to drain from the walls to the sump location
Allow water to drain from the floor to the sump location
Not get ruined when someone crawls on it
Be durable so it lasts as long as the house does
BONUS! Be treated with an antimicrobial ingredient so mold and bacteria will not grow on it.

So, let's look at some solutions to see whether we should consider them.

Concrete Floors—No Way!

Concrete floors for your crawl space—unless combined with ways to drain the walls and floor, and ways to stop the water vapor from the walls and floors—are NOT the answer.

It's true that the concrete won't get ruined when someone crawls on it, and that it will last many years. But, truth be told, water vapor goes right through concrete, especially a thin layer of concrete—such as might be installed in a crawl space.

Don't get us wrong: You can solve these problems. To stop water vapor from the floor, you'll have to lay down a vapor barrier at least 6 mil thick before pouring the concrete. And, you also need something to let water flow under it that. So, you'd need to put down a layer of clean stone or gravel before laying down the vapor barrier and pouring the concrete. Then, you'll need to drain the walls. Most crawl space walls are made of concrete block and easily leak. While you can put 6 mil plastic on the walls, most easily tear apart. You may be able to run the plastic from the floor up the walls nad attach a wire mesh to the wall over the plastic. Then, a stucco coat of concrete can be applied to the walls before the floor is poured.

That is, if you can spread concrete into your small crawl space safely, and without adding extra water into the concrete mix to make it flow easier, which weakens the concrete and makes it crack as it dries.

While you can make concrete work as a crawl space solution, the cost and challenges of preparing for it and placing it, well, makes it hard to argue that it's the best option.

Thin Plastic Liners—Popular, But Not Reliable

A popular solution is to lay down 6 mil thin plastic on crawl space floors, but it easily gets ruined when someone crawls on it, and it doesn't last as long as the home does. Furthermore, it's very difficult to attach to walls and can be easily pulled down. Contractors and homeowners report that 6 mil poly has to be repaired all the time, and it's just not enough to ensure that your home doesn't rot due to water vapor. In some ways, it's the worst solution because it's the most negligent.

CleanSpace© is a heavy 20 mil thick plastic liner, similar to a pool liner, that can be fitted in your crawl space to completely and permanently seal off your home from the earth. It's created with multiple layers of plastics with different characteristic for flexibility, as well as puncture and tear resistance. It's incredibly durable, and will last as long the house, staying wherever you install it. Even better? CleanSpace is bright white, which dramatically transforms your crawl space from the nasty pit it was to one you wouldn't hesitate to slide into.

Additionally, CleanSpace© has an antimicrobial additive manufactured into the material, preventing mold growth on the liner!

It satisfies all our criteria, even features that we'd consider a bonus. That's why we offer it to our homeowners, and even provide a 25 year warranty against rips and tears. If you'd like a FREE estimate for your home, don't hesitate to reach out!

A severe case of foundation settlement from inside the home, taken in Castleford, ID.

Many of the signs you'll see inside the home are similar to what you'll see outside the home (especially in your basement or crawl space). You can read about exterior signs of home settlement here.

For example, stair-step cracking looks pretty much the same on the inside that it does the outside. But there are some differences while inside the home that you might notice, and we're here to help break it down.

Foundation Wall Cracks

With foundation walls built from concrete block, stair-step cracking is very common. However, in a foundation constructed with poured concrete walls, vertical cracks are more common. In either case, foundation wall cracks resulting from settlement will usually start out narrow at the bottom, and widen as they progress up the wall.

If your basement is finished, however, these symptoms may be hidden.

Drywall Cracks

Cracks in the drywall throughout the home are one of the best indicators of settlement, and can be even more obvious in the uppermost levels. They might show up as cracks that extend outward from the corners of doors and windows, or cracks that follow drywall seams, or even drywall tape that buckles, pulls or rips. But, most importantly, remember: big cracks start as small cracks.

Problem Doors and Windows

Just like the outside, problems with foundation settlement can be first noticed by problem doors and windows. Ask yourself this: Do any of your doors or windows 'stick' when you try to open or close them? Sometimes, homeowners will plane (or shave down) across the top of a door to make it open and close more easily. If you haven't done this, there could be evidence that a past homeowner has done this. Additionally, consider whether you've ever moved or replaced locking or latching mechanisms on doors so they would work properly. Is there evidence that a past homeowner has done this? These are all bad signs of home settlement.

If you're concerned about your foundation settling, the problem won't go away. In fact, it can get much worse as time goes on, and the repairs can get much more expensive. It's important to call us right away and set up an appointment with a System Design Specialist, so we can address your issues and help you find a permanent solution.

A Castleford, ID home with severe foundation issues.

Most people understand that the foundation of their home is important, and that a sinking foundation can cause major damage. But it's rare that those damages cause problems overnight. It's usually slowly, over a long period of time, people began to notice things going awry in their home. Doors and windows are, somehow, out of their square. Items are rolling off surfaces because it's not completely flat.

Today, we're going to talk about all the signs that your foundation needs your attention. All you'll need to do is take a walk around your property (or maybe a home you're looking to purchase) and find these signs!

Stair-step Cracking

Stair-step cracking (or wall cracks that look like a staircase) in brick or block walls is a common sign that your home's foundation is settling. You may even see light between these cracks. Vertical cracks between blocks or brick walls may widen as well. This usually indicates that the wall is rotating.

Separating Chimneys

This might be one of the most terrifying signs of foundation settlement. Brick chimneys are very heavy, and sometimes built on entirely different foundation than the rest of the home, increasing the chance that they might settle.

Problem Doors and Windows

It's very common that the first sign of foundation settlement is a 'sticking' door or window. Why? The weakest part of a wall is where there's an opening. That makes doors and windows instantly the most vulnerable to damage when there's foundation settlement.

There are four common outdoor signs of settlement seen in doors and windows.

Doors and windows out of a square.

When doors or windows can't fit perfectly in their designated square, it causes jamming, doors rubbing against the door frame, or even not latching properly.

Cracks extending from the corners of doors or window frames.

Some people are told that small cracks are normal as a house settles. However, all big cracks start as small cracks, and you'll often spot them in the corners of doors and window frames.

Doors and windows separating.

If you see doors and windows pulling away from the frame (or exterior finish), it's time for a foundation expert to take a look.

New caulking around doors and windows.

Sometimes homeowners will turn to do-it-yourself (DIY) caulking to close gaps caused by separating doors and windows. That's why new caulking may be hiding a much bigger problem.

If you feel worried about your home, or a future home that you'd like to sell, don't hesitate to call us. We'll help restore your property value, and with minimal interruptions to your life and property.

Crawl Space Waterproofing in King Hill, ID

2024-10-06T15:23:36.05Z

Our journey began with a simple call to our customer care team, leading to a site visit from one of our system design specialists. They did a thorough inspection, immediately noticing the moisture issue and the need for a sustainable, effective solution. To combat the moisture and create a healthier living space, we introduced the homeowner to three of our vital products: CleanSpace, SilverGlow, and SaniDry Sedona.

CleanSpace was the frontline defense, a vapor barrier designed to permanently ward off humidity, pests, and mold. Next, SilverGlow insulation was utilized to not just insulate but also reflect heat, contributing to energy savings and additional protection against moisture. Lastly, the SaniDry Sedona came in as our moisture control champion, efficiently keeping the air dry and fresh.

Our foreman and team of skilled installers went to work, seamlessly integrating these solutions into the home’s crawl space. The job was executed with diligence, ensuring that not only were the products properly installed, but the space was also left clean and tidy.

2024-09-24T11:43:28.05Z

After the homeowner made the initial call to our Appointment Center team, we arranged for a visit from one of our expert System Design Specialists. Upon inspection, it became clear that the root of the problem resided in the crawl space beneath the home; a critical area many homeowners overlook. Our diagnosis confirmed that remediation was necessary, and we recommended the perfect combination of products to tackle the issue head-on: SmartJack for robust, adjustable support, and CleanSpace for moisture control and encapsulation.

This combination isn't elected at random. SmartJack is a formidable choice for stabilizing and lifting sagging floor joists or beams, bringing them back to their optimal level of structural integrity. CleanSpace complements this by waterproofing the crawl space, forbidding any external contaminants or excess moisture from compromising the SmartJack installations or the space's foundational soundness moving forward.

Our skilled installers then got down to business. The job wasn't small; installing SmartJack systems requires precision and a meticulous understanding of both the product and the property's foundation. However, this is what we excel in – commits to reliable, long-lasting solutions and creating remarkable customer experiences. After the problem areas were efficiently attended to and both SmartJack and CleanSpace effectively put into place, we left the site only after cleaning up thoroughly, making our intervention as non-intrusive as possible.
