If your home's crawl space has contaminated dirt, rotten wood, and moisture, then the conditions could affect the integrity of your home's foundation and contribute to mold and air quality issues or pest problems. A crawl space foundation repair includes drying surfaces, leveling materials, and installing a slab material across the flooring that comprises the space.
Material Composition And Drying Efforts
A concrete contractor may be hired to pour a concrete slab across the flooring that comprises a crawl space. Before the concrete pouring is performed, the composition of the flooring will need to be assessed, and drying efforts will need to be conducted. The crawl space is typically the lowest level within a home. It may be located in a basement or alongside it. Some crawl spaces provide access to plumbing and electrical components within a home.
Air that is confined within a crawl space may impede other living areas in a residence. During an inspection, the air quality within the crawl space will be assessed. Additionally, pest infestations will be treated. All of the preliminary work can be overseen by a residential contractor. Upon determining how much moisture or pollutants are present, the flooring materials may be leveled or a base aggregate layer may be applied to the flooring.
A Membrane, Insulation, And Concrete
Excessive moisture can put a lot of strain on your home's foundation and cause cracks to form in materials. Some homes may shift due to excessive moisture. To prevent moisture from forming, a barrier may be laid along the flooring in a crawl space. A PVC liner will provide a waterproof surface that will prevent moisture accumulation. Concrete can be poured on top of the barrier.
Since fresh concrete contains water, a concrete contractor may recommend that the top of a crawl space is insulated. Foam insulation that is secured along the ceiling of a crawl space will prevent moisture from damaging materials in the crawl space. Vapor barriers are impermeable materials that are often secured along interior walls.
The barriers will prevent the rotting of wood and damage to other materials that were originally used to construct the crawl space. Concrete can be prepared on-site and will be poured across the flooring in a crawl space. Ventilation aids may be used to aid with curing the concrete. Upon the completion of the project, a final inspection of the crawl space may be conducted.
Ikiwa chumba cha nyumbani chako kina uchafu, mbao zilizooza, na unyevu, basi hali zinaweza kuathiri uadilifu wa msingi wa nyumba yako na kuchangia masuala ya kuvu na ubora wa hewa. Ukarabati wa msingi wa nafasi ya kutambaa ni pamoja na kufuta nyuso, vifaa vya usawa, na kufunga vifaa vya slab kwenye sakafu ambayo inajumuisha nafasi. Utaratibu wa kupasua na kupasua: Mhandisi wa saruji anaweza kuajiriwa ili kutupa slab ya saruji kwenye sakafu ambayo inajumuisha nafasi ya crawl. Kabla ya kutupwa kwa saruji, muundo wa sakafu utahitaji kutathminiwa, na juhudi za kukausha zitahitaji kufanywa. Kwa kawaida chumba cha chini ni sehemu ya chini zaidi ndani ya nyumba. Inaweza kuwa katika chumba cha chini ya ardhi au kando yake. Sehemu fulani za chini za nyumba hutoa njia ya kupata vifaa vya mabomba na umeme ndani ya nyumba. Hewa iliyowekwa ndani ya chumba cha kuteleza inaweza kuzuia maeneo mengine ya kuishi katika makazi. Wakati wa ukaguzi, ubora wa hewa ndani ya nafasi ya crawl itathminiwa. Kwa kuongezea, magonjwa ya wadudu yatatibiwa. Kazi zote za awali zaweza kusimamiwa na mkandarasi wa makazi. Baada ya kuamua kiasi cha unyevu au uchafuzi ni sasa, sakafu vifaa inaweza kuwa leveled au msingi aggregate safu inaweza kutumika kwa sakafu. Ufumbuzi wa nyumba: Unyevu wa kupita kiasi unaweza kusababisha mvuto mkubwa kwenye msingi wa nyumba yako na kusababisha nyufa katika vifaa. Nyumba fulani zaweza kuhamishwa kwa sababu ya unyevu mwingi. Ili kuzuia unyevu usitokee, kizuizi chaweza kuwekwa kando ya sakafu katika nafasi ya kutambaa. PVC liner hutoa uso usio na maji ambayo itazuia mkusanyiko wa unyevu. Zege laweza kumwagika juu ya kizuizi hicho. Kwa kuwa saruji safi ina maji, mkandarasi wa saruji aweza kupendekeza kwamba sehemu ya juu ya nafasi ya kutambaa iondolewe. Insulation ya povu ambayo imefungwa kando ya dari ya nafasi ya crawl itazuia unyevu kutoka kwa kuharibu vifaa katika nafasi ya crawl. Vizuizi vya mvuke ni vifaa visivyoweza kupenya ambavyo mara nyingi huhifadhiwa kwenye kuta za ndani. Vizuizi hivyo vitazuia kuoza kwa mbao na uharibifu wa vifaa vingine vilivyotumiwa awali kujenga chumba cha kuteleza. Zege inaweza kutayarishwa mahali hapo na itamwagika kwenye sakafu katika nafasi ya kutambaa. Vifaa vya kupeperusha hewa vinaweza kutumiwa kusaidia katika kuimarisha saruji. Baada ya kukamilika kwa mradi huo, ukaguzi wa mwisho wa nafasi ya kutambaa unaweza kufanywa.
