Crawl Space Framing Services in Atlanta, GA
With more than 150 years of combined experience, our team has seen just about every kind of structural problem you can imagine. When crawl space framing becomes damaged or inadequate, it can affect the stability of the floors and the structural integrity of the home above it. Our crawl space framing services are designed to address these problems at their source and restore the support your home needs.
Our Crawl Space Framing Services
Every home is different, and crawl space framing problems can have a variety of causes. The age of the home, the way it was constructed, soil conditions, moisture exposure, and previous structural repairs can all affect the condition of the framing. That’s why we begin with a thorough inspection of your crawl space to determine the underlying cause of the problem and identify the repairs your home needs.
Crawl Space Beam and Joist Repair
Beams and floor joists provide critical support for the floors and structure above your crawl space. When these components become damaged, weakened, or improperly supported, you may notice uneven or sagging floors, movement in the home, or other signs of structural problems.
Our crawl space framing services include replacing damaged beams and floor joists when necessary. In some cases, we can also install sistering joists alongside existing joists to reinforce the structure and provide additional support.
Subfloor, Framing Plate, and Foundation Wall Repair
The framing system in your crawl space works together to support the home above it. Damaged framing plates, deteriorated subfloors, and compromised foundation walls can affect that support and may contribute to larger structural problems if left unaddressed.
Depending on the condition of these components, our team can replace framing plates, rebuild damaged subfloors, and rebuild or repair foundation walls as part of a comprehensive crawl space framing solution.
Mid-Span Support Post Installation
Long floor joists and beams may require additional support to prevent excessive movement or deflection. When a crawl space lacks adequate support, installing mid-span support posts can help reinforce the framing system and improve the stability of the structure above.
Our team can evaluate the existing support system during your crawl space inspection and determine whether additional mid-span support posts are appropriate for your home.
Crawl Space Foundation Framing and Moisture Protection
Structural framing problems are often connected to conditions within the crawl space itself. Moisture and water intrusion can contribute to the deterioration of wood framing and other structural components, which is why addressing the underlying conditions is an important part of a lasting repair.
Crawl Space Drainage
If water is entering your crawl space through the foundation or accumulating beneath your home, a drainage system can help collect and redirect that water away from the structure. We can install a crawl space drainage system when drainage is identified as part of the solution to your crawl space problems.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Excess moisture can also contribute to high humidity and deterioration within the crawl space. As part of our crawl space solutions, we can encapsulate the area with a moisture barrier to help control moisture and protect the space after structural repairs have been completed.

While similar crawl space framing issues affect many homes throughout the Atlanta area, every house is different. The age and construction of your home, the soil it sits on, moisture conditions, and the condition of the existing framing can all influence the appropriate repair approach.
To determine the root cause of the issues you’re experiencing, we’ll perform a thorough inspection of your home’s crawl space. Based on our findings, we’ll recommend the services needed to address the underlying problem and provide a lasting solution.
