Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation in Asheville
Most crawl spaces are not built with protection against moisture. Dirt floors and open crawl space vents provide easy access points for humid air and groundwater to seep below your home. This is a huge problem in Asheville, with high humidity and heavy rainfall during the summer months. When moisture gets into your crawl space, certain problem signs arise like high humidity, mold growth, and sagging floors. These issues damage both your home and your health, but they can be prevented with solutions from Mount Valley Foundation Services. Vapor barriers, vent covers, and crawl space drains are just a few of the tools we use to encapsulate your crawl space. With the proper protection, your crawl space stays healthy and dry.
Foundation Repair in Asheville
Weak soil is at the heart of foundation problems. In Asheville, which receives 44 inches of annual rainfall, the soil supporting your foundation becomes unstable when heavy precipitation causes the ground to become muddy and eroded. Your foundation is heavy, so it will sink and settle into the soil. This leads to structural issues around your home including uneven floors, stuck doors and windows, or even a tilting chimney. MVFS has foundation solutions proven to provide adequate support to your home independently from soil. These tools include pier systems, crawl space supports, and wall anchors – all of which are manufactured right here in the USA.
Basement Waterproofing in Asheville
Due to their location underground, basements are specifically vulnerable to water damage. That’s because water, after heavy snow or rain, drains into soil where some of it builds up next to basement walls. This is a prevalent issue in Asheville, which contains stony, shallow soils that quickly move water below the surface. Over time, water continues to build and exerts heavy pressure onto the walls. Eventually, the weight becomes too much and causes cracked walls, which leads to leaking, water buildup, and mold below your home. However, MVFS has waterproofing solutions that stop basement moisture in its tracks including dehumidifiers, drainage systems, and vapor barriers.
Concrete Lifting in Asheville
Concrete needs solid soil to keep its shape, but the shallow, stony soils in Asheville are easily eroded by rain and snow through a process known as soil washout. This causes soil to become too soft and weak to support a heavy material like concrete, so structures like your driveway or sidewalk sink into the ground. Quickly, concrete on your property will become cracked and uneven. MVFS has an effective way to repair damaged concrete with a material known as PolyRenewal™. This innovative, polyurethane foam solution is strong enough support the weight of your car after it dries in just 15 minutes. Moreover, PolyRenewal™ is waterproof, so rain won’t be able to erode soil beneath the concrete in the future.
FAQs
Soil issues are the main culprit behind foundation damage. When soil becomes too wet, too dry, or is not packed together tightly enough, foundation problems occur. Wall anchors work to remove soil from the equation all together so that your foundation doesn’t have to depend on it to stay afloat. Instead, the strength of the wall anchors becomes the primary force that keeps your home secure!
First, turn off your main water supply if the leak is significant or a pipe has burst. This is considered a plumbing emergency, and most professional services will respond immediately. Turning off your water will avoid leakage if the leaks are small or you can’t discover them, but it may not be the most effective way to deal with the matter. Instead, contact a professional basement specialist and request a thorough, free evaluation of your property. They’ll be able to pinpoint the source of the leaks and any secondary damage, as well as design a personalized solution to the problems your home is experiencing as a result.
Most homeowners, understandably, prefer to do their own house maintenance. However, we recommend that basement moisture problems be left to the professionals. DIY options might cause more damage if things go wrong during the process. Your local home improvement store is likely to provide a variety of basement waterproofing options.
Although they may appear to be effective solutions at first sight, they are typically not long-lasting and fail to solve your problem permanently. Instead, you’ll find yourself repeating the same project over and over, never fixing the issue at the source. As a result, moisture will continue to enter your basement.
Yes, uneven concrete can usually be repaired and brought back to its former brilliance. Other methods of restoration are required if the concrete has experienced too much damage in the form of severe fractures, dramatic settling, or missing pieces. Lifting and stabilizing concrete that isn’t excessively fractured or uneven is possible, but slabs that are beyond repair may need to be totally removed and repoured. Because this may be costly and time-consuming, it is better to address possible issues as soon as they arise.
