What Causes Crawl Space Problems in Lakeland
Lakeland's namesake lakes are largely sinkhole-formed, evidence of how active the karst limestone bedrock beneath the city really is. That same geology can settle the support piers under a crawl space unevenly over time, and lots near any of the city's many lakes tend to have a higher water table as well.
Our Crawl Space Repair Process
We start with a real evaluation to find the actual cause of the damage. Where support piers have settled unevenly into karst-affected soil, we drive steel push piers to stable ground to bring sagging floors back into position, and address moisture with sealing, drainage correction, and vapor barrier work.
