Stopping Mold & Moisture at the Source
Foundation Repair in Norfolk, VA That Holds Up in Repairing the Rot
Foundational structure problems in Hampton Roads are almost always moisture-related. Moisture vapors from the ground soak into timber fibers that rot, twist, or bow and become rather delicious to termites. High wood moisture levels induce wood fungus and wood rot, which threaten the structural integrity.
Floor sags, drywall cracks, and sticking doors are indicators of a problem below your feet. Call HOME MECHANIX today to discuss how we can put our decades of experience to work for you.
Common foundational repair needs we attend to throughout Hampton Roads are timbers with damage from long-term moisture exposure. Termite scouts will not send their queen’s colony to dry wood, and when the wood timbers get above 20% in moisture content, the invitation is sent.
Eastern subterranean termites only take a few years to cause severe structural integrity issues. Supplemental girder system installations are another common crawl space repair need, as a majority of structures are built to code minimums.
When wood moisture levels remain high for extended lengths of time, timber fibers bend easily, creating saggy floors.
