Crawl spaces are integral components of many residential foundations, providing a buffer between the ground and the living space. However, they are susceptible to various issues that can compromise the structural integrity of the entire home. Common problems include inadequate support, soil settlement, moisture intrusion, and pest infestations, all of which can lead to sagging floors, compromised structural stability, and a reduction in indoor air quality.
Structural issues within a home, particularly those involving additions such as sunrooms, can lead to significant concerns regarding the stability and safety of the property.
