Structural support refers to the elements or systems within a building or structure that provide stability, strength, and load-bearing capacity. These components ensure the integrity and safety of the structure by resisting external forces.
There are various types of structural support, chosen based on the building’s design, purpose, and requirements
The entire house can begin to suffer when the crawl space begins to sag and sink. Without appropriate supports, neglecting your crawlspace will only exacerbate the issue, leading to a wider spread and increased severity. Thankfully, our team of trained staff is ready to help solve your problem and offer structural support.
Along with sagging, signs of a failing structure in the crawlspace can include warped floors above the crawlspace, pest infestations, doors jamming and sticking, and cracks in the drywall. Although the causes can vary, the most common reasons for a sagging crawlspace surround having too few supports or that the soil that the supports rest on is not strong enough. Sagging issues can be caused through rot or mold resulting from moisture causing a weakening of structure, as can the presence of termites or other pests.
Correcting the structural issues of a crawlspace is a solvable issue, and while each home has a unique set of circumstances, the solutions fall into a few simple categories. Firstly, we eliminate any moisture, pest or other contributing factor to the compromised structure. Secondly, we replace any damaged or inadequate materials that are no longer structurally sound. Finally, we replace and add new supports designed to last longer and provide greater stability than previous materials..
