Inspecting and maintaining the crawl space under your home is critical to the health of your pier & beam foundation. This is necessary to preserve and protect the resale value of the home.

San Antonio, United States – March 27, 2018 /PressCable/ —

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(San Antonio, TX) – Foundation Repair Pros has just published a new Foundation Repair Guide: Neglect the Crawl Space at Your Own Risk focusing on homeowners in the San Antonio, San Marcos and New Braunfels market area. The guide can be accessed here: http://bluechipfoundations.com/neglect-the-crawl-space-at-your-own-risk/

Our client Joanne R was in a pickle. Her house was under foreclosure notice because she could no longer make payments due to a recent divorce. She was desperately trying to sell her home but because of foundation damage, the value of the home was significantly less than the loan balance.

Joanne owned a pier & beam home with a dirt floor crawl space. Unfortunately, the crawl space had been neglected for years and standing water was allowed to accumulate in the space. This created the ideal breeding ground for mold, fungus and termites which attacked the wooden beams, girders and joists supporting the home. As a result, these structural components weakened, causing significant foundation movement. The movement over time caused cracks in exterior bricks, cracks in sheetrock walls and bouncy, sinking floors.

When Joanne tried to sell her home, she ran in to a big problem…the only potential buyers were all cash investors that insisted on a huge discounted price, well below her current loan payoff. And banks were not willing to finance a buyer unless the foundation issues were corrected.

A friend referred her to us at Foundation Repair Pros for help.

As described by our San Antonio manager Cole Camden, “We were able to correct the drainage issues adjacent to the house, and then focus on replacing damaged wooden support elements to stabilize the foundation.” Once this was completed, Joanne was able to get full retail value for the home and stop the foreclosure.

The lesson learned is that neglecting your crawl space can result in significant loss in the value of your home. Trulia indicates that …”a home with foundation problems will typically sell to an investor for up to 25% less than market value.”

Camden further advises, “Inspect your crawl space frequently to see if you have any plumbing leaks or water accumulation due to faulty drainage. Take care of these problems immediately to prevent foundation damage.”
