Crawl Space Repair for Orchard Hill homeowners
Orchard Hill is a small rural community south of Griffin, and the properties out here run large. Red clay over rock, which means water that soaks in hits an impermeable layer and then spreads sideways. On a lot with no storm drainage, a fair amount of it spreads toward the house.
The homes are mostly older frame construction on open brick piers with vented crawl spaces. That was standard practice, and it works fine in a dry climate. In middle Georgia the summer air moving through those vents is loaded with moisture, and it gives that moisture up the moment it touches cool framing under the floor.
The repair is honest carpentry plus getting the water under control. Joists, girders and sill sections that have gone soft come out and get replaced, sound spans get sistered, and brick piers get reset or rebuilt where mortar has failed. Then a sealed ground cover, perimeter drainage matched to how your lot drains, and the space stops feeding the problem. Photos and a fixed price before anything begins.
The scope is fixed before we start on an Orchard Hill home, so nothing gets added once the crew is underneath.
