Review Logo 4.9 (2,196)

In Gardendale, where annual rainfall averages around 54 inches, crawl spaces are particularly susceptible to moisture problems. The combination of high humidity and standing water creates a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and wood rot, which can compromise your home's structural integrity. AFS offers tailored crawl space repair solutions, including encapsulation with sealed vapor barriers, drainage systems, and dehumidifiers to effectively manage moisture. Additionally, given the expansive clay soil in the area, support jacks may be necessary to ensure your crawl space remains stable.

"I recently found out the Credit Union I am over needed major foundation repairs. I had to obtain 3 estimates to present to my board. The estimate from AFS was competitive in terms of price with the other companies, but they trumped the competition in other ways. Forest (the estimator w/AFS) was awesome, he took me around the building and showed me exactly how the equipment worked to determined the extent of the repairs needed. He was extremely friendly and informative. He even answered my boards questions concerning the competitors estimates because I couldn’t reach them on the phone. 12 outta 10 for the estimator!! As for the repairs, Joe Hawkins was the foreman over the repairs. Joe and his crew were exemplary!! We ran into multiple issues and Joe handled them all like a champ! He kept me informed the entire time, answered all my question, and was accommodating with scheduling needs and issues that arose with our neighbors. AFS should start a “be like Joe” training for all their new crew’s!! If I ever need foundation repairs in the future, I will certainly use AFS and while I am sure all their crews and estimators are brilliant…I’d likely request Joe as the foreman and Forest as the estimator! Bravo guys!! 20 outta 10!"

Common Causes of your Crawl Space Problems in Gardendale

Moisture and Humidity

Excess moisture and high humidity levels in the crawl space can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and structural damage. This often results from poor ventilation or water seepage.

Poor Drainage

Inadequate drainage systems can cause water to accumulate around the foundation, leading to water infiltration and increased moisture levels in the crawl space.

Open Crawl Space Vents

Open vents allow outside air and moisture to enter the crawl space, which can lead to condensation, mold growth, and pest infestations.

Foundation Cracks

Cracks in the foundation can compromise the structural integrity of your home by allowing water infiltration, which can lead to further deterioration and instability.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.

Understanding these common causes can help you take proactive measures to protect your crawl space and maintain the overall health of your home.
