How to Tell if You Need Crawlspace Repair

As our name states, we at Dogwood Crawlspaces have extensive experience in working on crawlspaces, and we are here to help you keep yours in great shape. If anything is wrong with your crawlspace, you can turn to our team to get the effective repair services you need. In this article, we’ll go over a few ways to tell if you need crawlspace repair—if you notice any of the following things happening to your home, we encourage you to give us a call.

• Floor Joist Problems – Another clear sign something is wrong with your crawlspace is rotten or weakening floor joists. As moisture rises up from the ground, it becomes trapped in your crawlspace and will gather on the underside of your subfloor, eventually causing it to rot. If your floor no longer feels firm and stable under your feet, you should have your crawlspace checked a soon as possible.
• High Energy Bills – A third way to tell if you might need crawlspace repair is to pay attention to any changes in your energy bills. If you seem to be spending more on energy without having changed anything about your habits, the cause of the issue might be failing or insufficient insulation in your crawlspace.
