South Pittsburg, Tennessee
Residents of South Pittsburg, TN should be aware of the dangers of foundation failure in order to protect their homes from serious damage. Many homeowners in Tennessee have experienced foundation issues due to the wet, cold winters and dry, hot summers. Constant changes in weather mean constant changes in soil. When the soil under your home expands and contracts due to moisture levels, it can cause disruption to your foundation. Your foundation can form cracks and voids because of dry soil, and it can shift and heave due to excess moisture in the soil.
Foundation Repair
If you have noticed foundation cracks or foundation shifting, you may likely be experiencing these problems as well:
- Slab cracks
- Water leaks
- Misaligned windows or doors
- Sloping or uneven floors
- Gaps around window frames
- Leaning or tilting chimney
- Chipping, flaking or crumbling foundations
- Ceiling cracks
Call Affordable Foundation immediately if you have noticed any of the issues above to avoid further damage and costly repairs. We can guarantee you with the best products on the market, including helical tiebacks, helical piers, and plate anchors. These products are designed to level, stabilize, and support foundations that are failing.
Crawlspace Repair & Mold Removal
Excess moisture and humidity in your crawlspace can be dangerous for the rest of your home. Firstly, your crawlspace is a major load-bearing aspect to your home, and water will weaken it, causing the structure of your home to lose its integrity. Secondly, the air from your crawlspace rises into the rest of your house, and if water is present, that air will be musty and full of allergens.
Keep your home strong and healthy by properly maintaining your crawlspace with the services that we offer here at Affordable Foundation. We offer crawlspace encapsulation to provide a barrier against the entrance of water. For crawlspaces that have sunken, we can install crawlspace piers and floor supports. We also do floor joist repair for damaged joists.
By taking advantage of our fantastic crawlspace repair services, you will:
- Eliminate mold and mildew
- Ensure clean and dry air
- Prevent health problems
- Increase the resale value of the home
- Reduce heating and cooling costs
- Prevent further weakening of the home’s base
