Q: Is a pier and beam the same as a crawl space?

• <div><p>Although the two terms are closely related and often used interchangeably, pier and beam foundations and crawl spaces are different things. A pier and beam foundation is made up of concrete piers and wooden beams and creates a space under the home known as a crawl space. There are several types of foundations that create crawl spaces, often collectively known as &ldquo;crawl space foundations,&rdquo; but the crawl space itself is separate from the foundation. </p></div>

Q: How can I prevent future water accumulation issues?

• <div><p>Preventing water accumulation involves regular inspections, maintaining effective drainage systems, ensuring proper roof maintenance, and taking preventive measures against heavy rainfall or floods.</p></div>

Q: Can a crawl space dry on its own?

• <div><p>In most cases, a crawl space will not dry out on its own unless the moisture comes from an uncommon flood and isn&rsquo;t expected to be a recurring issue. For most homeowners, moisture problems in the crawl space will only continue to get worse over time, so addressing the underlying problem with gutter systems or a foundation drainage system and setting up a preventative solution like a dehumidifier is necessary.</p></div>

Q: Do you really need to waterproof your basement?

• <div><p>In most cases, yes, because the large majority of basements leak or will have moisture issues at some point, and waterproofing methods can mitigate that risk or eliminate it entirely. Plus, water and moisture issues can be quite problematic, as they can lead to mold growth, rotting of building materials, structural damage, poor indoor air quality, increased electric bills, and other problems.</p></div>

Q: Can you stay in a house with water damage?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s normally possible to stay in a house with water damage, but it depends on many factors. If the water damage is minor, like from a small plumbing or window leak, there&rsquo;s minimal risk to you and your family members, especially if you catch it early. Major water damage from flooding is more likely to lead to mold growth and electrical issues, which means it&rsquo;s safer to relocate until you have a professional dry out the area and treat the mold.</p></div>

"My experience was excellent, from initial call to completion of the work. Great team that showed up on time, conducted themselves well, and were committed to their work. Austin F. Conducted a thorough inspection and proposed a multistage plan to repair my crawlspace. I was especially happy that an engineering firm prepared final inspection and drawings for the county permit process. John, Austin, Taylor, and Chris worked very hard for three days, even in the rain and cold. Great company and people."
