Crawl Space Repair for Bonaire homeowners
Bonaire sits low. Sandy Run Creek runs through the area and the water table comes up with it, so after a wet stretch the ground under a Bonaire house can be saturated while a home two miles up the road is dry. Crawl spaces here are the first ones in Houston County to hold standing water.
Most of the growth came after the nineties, on cut-and-fill lots carved out of that low ground. Cut side, fill side, and a crawl space bridging both. The fill settles and drops a pier. The cut side collects the water that used to run past. Give it a decade and the framing on the wet end starts giving way while the other end is still fine.
We fix the wet end and the support at the same time. Rotted joists and girders come out, sound members get sistered, piers get reset onto footings below the fill. Then the water side, which in Bonaire is usually the bigger half of the job: perimeter drainage, a sealed ground cover, and a sump with a discharge line that takes the water well away from the house.
Here is what our crawl space repair work includes on a Bonaire home, in town or out toward the Houston County line.
