Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Hovey Home

Your entire home works as a system and works together to provide you and and your family with a healthy environment. Crawlspace health is sometimes overlooked. When crawlspaces become high in humidity, moisture and temperature, the insulation sags, wood rots and mold grows. These all greatly affect the rest of the home. In this particular house, because of the crawlspace conditions, the floor began to sag and needed supporting. These pictures are a compound project to re-support the interior foundation and the encapsulate the crawlspace.
