Spring Rains or Basement Pains?
Spring is a time of renewal, but it also brings heavy rains, shifting soil, and rising humidity—perfect conditions for foundation, basement, and crawl space problems. As the ground thaws and spring showers set in, homeowners often face water intrusion, cracked foundations, and mold growth. Left unchecked, these issues can lead to costly structural damage and unhealthy living conditions. Fortunately, Alford Foundation and Crawl Space Repair offers expert solutions to keep your home dry, stable, and protected.
Basements:
Water Issues – Heavy spring rains can lead to leaks, flooding, and seepage through cracks in basement walls or floors.
Mold & Odors – Increased humidity encourages mold, mildew, musty smells, and efflorescence (white mineral deposits).
Structural Damage – Freeze-thaw cycles can expand cracks in walls and floors, worsening water intrusion.
Alford’s Solution – Basement waterproofing, sump pumps, drainage systems, and crack repairs prevent water damage and keep basements dry.
Crawl Spaces:
Moisture & Mold – High humidity causes excess condensation, leading to mold growth, wood rot, and insulation damage.
Pest & Structural Issues – Warm weather attracts pests, while moisture weakens floor joists and can cause standing water.
Alford’s Solution – Crawl space encapsulation, vapor barriers, dehumidifiers, and crawl space jacks reinforce and protect your home.
Foundations:
Shifting & Cracks – Thawing soil and heavy rains cause foundation settling, cracks, and structural instability.
Erosion & Drainage Problems – Poor drainage can wash away soil, clog gutters, and cause bowing basement walls due to hydrostatic pressure.
Alford’s Solution – Push piers, helical anchors, and drainage improvements provide long-term stability and prevent structural damage.
Beyond structural repairs, Alford also specializes in concrete leveling, eliminating trip hazards and restoring sinking driveways, sidewalks, and interior slabs with our innovative PolyLevel injection system. For homeowners dealing with pest infestations or poor indoor air quality due to moisture-related issues, our pest control and air purification solutions offer additional peace of mind.
