C. Lindsay, residing in Huntsville, AL, sought professional assistance to replace her home’s moisture barrier.

Solution: Enhanced Structural Stability and Moisture Barrier Installation in a Huntsville, AL, Residence

Our skilled home repair crew embarked on a rigorous crawl space cleanup and mold remediation in the Huntsville residence.

Recognizing the need for robust structural reinforcement, the team strategically installed two double joists under the load-bearing walls to bolster strength and stability in the home’s interior structure.

This was complemented by adding six new floor supports, significantly enhancing the structural foundation of the Huntsville property.

Concluding the intervention, a superior 10 mil loose-lay moisture barrier was deployed to help keep moisture levels down and lower the risk for mold and fungal growth. However, only a full encapsulation can prevent mold and funal growth. 

This complete solution addressed the moisture concerns and improved the overall structure, ensuring a safer and more durable living environment for C. Lindsay’s home in Huntsville, AL.
