Wood rot in crawl spaces is often caused by a combination of excessive moisture and poor ventilation. When the conditions are right—dark, damp, and humid—wood in your crawl space becomes a buffet for mold, fungi, and pests. Over time, the structural wood begins to decay, weakening your home’s foundation and floor support system.
If left unchecked, rot and mold can lead to serious structural damage.
A professional can help find the source of the problem and provide a permanent repair solution.
If your floors are uneven or sagging due to structural shifting, not just wood damage, see our sagging crawl space repair services featuring SmartJack® supports.
We offer full-service repair for structural and non-structural wood damage. Whether your crawl space has rotted wood posts, beams, or joists, we can help.
We use treated, rot-resistant lumber and proven repair methods to ensure long-lasting results. When structural members are beyond repair, our team removes and replaces the full component, not just a portion, so your home’s support system remains stable and safe.
When damaged wood repair or replacement is complete, many homeowners also choose to have us install the SmartJack® support system to lift and level their floors safely.
