Damp clay keeps everything down there wet. Clearing it is the only way to stop what is growing.
Under a Lizella house the clay holds moisture for weeks at a time, so anything lying on that ground stays wet. Fallen insulation, old repair material, cardboard, leaves that blew in through the vents, all of it is damp most of the year.
Damp organic material is a mold factory, and in a crawl space it is directly under your floor. Clearing it is the fastest way to reduce what is growing down there, and it is also what makes any other work possible.
We clear by hand and haul away, treat mold on the framing and the piers, and grade the clay flat. That grading matters here more than in sandy soil, because clay holds an uneven surface and low spots collect water under anything installed afterward.
The scope is fixed before we start on a Lizella home, so nothing gets added once the crew is underneath.

Trench Guys came to my home and corrected a sagging kitchen floor. They did a great job and guarantee their work for 10 years! I absolutely will be calling them anytime I need help.
I don't usually write reviews but John and his crew are absolutely awesome. They did my crawl space encapsulation. I got other quotes - don't waste your time with the other guys. Outstanding service at an incredible price!
Thank you Trench Guys for repairing our foundation. John gave our home a thorough inspection and explained the process so we knew exactly what the problem was and our options. They worked hard and were friendly and knowledgeable.
