Crawl Space Repair for Byron homeowners
Byron sits in old peach country on Coastal Plain sand. Sand drains, which sounds like good news, and for the first couple of feet it is. Below that the profile tightens up and water stops moving. Around Big Indian Creek and the low ground off Highway 49 it barely moves at all, so a crawl space in Byron can be bone dry in April and holding damp ground in July.
The housing stock splits in two here. There are seventies ranches with vented crawl spaces and low piers, and there are newer subdivisions built on graded lots where the fill was never fully settled. Different problems. The older houses give us rotted joist ends and sagging spans. The newer ones give us piers that have dropped a half inch into soft fill, which telegraphs upstairs as a door that stops latching.
We handle both from underneath. Rotted lumber comes out and gets replaced, weak spans get sistered, and piers get reset onto footings that will hold. After the structure is right we seal the ground so the new wood stays dry. John looks at it with you first and writes the price down before any of it starts.
The scope is fixed before we start on a Byron home, so nothing gets added once the crew is underneath.
