Repair Wood Damage in Alabama

Are You Seeing Signs of Wood Damage Around
Around Your Home?

Wood Rot & Decay

Mold growth, moisture, and pests like termites can lead to rotting wood, which weakens the structure.

Structural Damage

Over time, moisture and pests can degrade the wooden supports in crawl spaces, causing structural issues.

Water Leakage & Moisture Issues

Constant exposure to water and high humidity accelerates wood decay, leading to damage.

Surface Mold

While surface mold can be cleaned, wood rot penetrates deeply, compromising the strength of wooden structures.

Before removing and replacing rotting wood, follow these steps:

Removing Water Sources: All plumbing issues and groundwater leaking must be addressed, or your replacement wood will rot. Remember: there is often more than one source of water leakage in a crawl space!
Fix Any Grade Line & Gutter Issues: If your gutters are depositing water around your foundation, or the ground around your home is sloped towards the house, then water will collect around (and inside) the crawl space, promoting mold and rot.
Eliminate Pest Infestations: If you've had termites, carpenter ants, or other pests in your crawl space, you'll need a pest inspector to make sure they're eliminated. Termites can abandon sections of their nest while still being present elsewhere in your home.

Understanding Wood Damage in Your Home

Wood damage in crawl spaces, typically caused by rot, mold, termites, and pests, can seem overwhelming and expensive. However, if caught early, it can be quickly and affordably addressed by a professional crawl space contractor. Many homeowners make the mistake of repairing the damaged wood without addressing the root cause, leading to recurring damage.
