What are SettleStop Floor Supports?

Understanding the importance of a healthy, undamaged crawl space and how to identify potential issues can help preserve your home's overall structural integrity and air quality.

Do you ever consider what lies beneath your home? For many houses in the southeast, it’s a crawlspace — a narrow, unoccupied area built to raise the structure off the ground. This seemingly insignificant space plays a critical role in the health of your home, influencing everything from the stability of your floors to the quality of the air you breathe. However, a damaged crawlspace can wreak havoc on your house’s integrity and even affect your health. Understanding the signs of crawlspace damage and how to keep it in optimal condition is vital to ensuring your home remains a safe and comfortable haven.

Identifying Crawl Space Damage

  • Drywall Cracks in the Interior?
  • Uneven Floors that sag or cause furniture to lean away from the walls? Do round objects roll into the middle of the room?
  • Foul Odors in the Home?
  • Heightened Allergies or Asthma Symptoms?
  • Creaky floors, or floors that appear to struggle to support the full weight of the room or furniture?

Your crawlspace affects your home’s overall health tremendously.  Nearly 90% of the air in your home comes from beneath your home, which makes it more important than ever to have a healthy, dry crawlspace.  Crawlspace issues are generally structural or moisture/environmentally related.  Here, we’ll address structural problems.

Understanding Settlestop Floor Supports

The Settlestop Floor Support is an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces. Settlestop Floor Supports provides additional support to your failing structure.  They are used to lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to stabilize permanently.

Settlestop Floor Supports are a relatively simple and inexpensive solution for your sagging crawlspace.  They stop the movement/sagging of your space and lift your floors to stabilize permanently.

If you suspect your sagging floors are due to crawlspace damage, contact AFS to schedule a free inspection.  Our trained technicians will comprehensively evaluate your home and the issues affecting your property and crawlspace.  We’re here to help you protect your home from structural and environmental concerns.
