Crawlspace Repair is more about identifying that you have a problem to begin with. Countless home owners express, “I didn’t realized that was happening, I have a mold issue, cupped floors issue, a rotting wood issue, or an odor issue.” Those are just some of the symptoms most crawlspaces have.

If you get tired of saying ISSUES, then let’s start saying SOLUTIONS instead.Repairing your crawlspace and fixing your crawlspace are two different things.Repairing your crawlspace will be a fake, ineffective relief of your issue. Its equivalent is putting a bandaid on a broken leg. Fixing your crawlspace is learning what the problem is, then designing a system to solve your crawlspace problems.

Solutions are the key to stopping problems and first learning why they exist is the only way to truly start properly protecting your home.

Cupped Hardwood Floors

Cupped floors are signs of humidity or water in a crawl space which are one of the most common causes of hard wood floor damage in Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.Humidity varies throughout the seasons and wood flooring responds by expanding and contracting with it.
The most common ailments to floors include “cupping and crowning” or buckling.Cupping occurs when the edges of a board are high and the center is low. It occurs when water or humidity absorbs into the wood, or in most cases a humid crawl space pushes its problems into the home. The humidity gets trapped within the subfloor and wood flooring causing deformation and damage.
