Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation in Clearwater

Water and humidity are behind most crawl space problems, and Clearwater gets plenty of both. Being on the coast, Clearwater receives about 54 inches of annual rainfall, and stays humid from late spring until fall. All this water and humidity greatly impact homes and their crawl spaces, as they get inside through open crawl space vents and wreak havoc on the interior environment. Flooding, wood rot, weakened structural supports, mold growth, and poor air quality can result and affect the safety and health of your home and family. Alpha Foundations can permanently repair and encapsulate this area with reliable vapor barriers, drainage, sump pumps, dehumidifiers, insulation, vent covers, and support jacks.

Concrete Lifting & Leveling in Clearwater

Your home’s concrete structures – from your sidewalk and driveway to the pool deck and exterior steps – may suffer damage because of Clearwater’s soil and weather. The poorly drained fine sandy soil and humid subtropical climate with year-round rain cause many problems for concrete. The soil the concrete depends on for stability erodes with heavy rain or sinks because of poor compaction. As a result, concrete cracks, sinks, and becomes uneven—leading to safety hazards. To combat concrete damage, we install an innovative, versatile, long-lasting concrete lifting and leveling solution. Our polyurethane injections cure in 15 minutes and restore your concrete structures to a safe level.

Foundation Repair in Clearwater

Like other concrete structures, your home’s foundation relies on the underlying soil for strength and longevity. Clearwater’s sandy soil can break down over time and after constant exposure to heavy rain and high humidity. If the soil erodes, sinks, or dries out, your foundation will no longer have the support it needs to uphold the rest of the structure. You’ll see telltale symptoms like settlement, sticking windows and doors, uneven floors, and wall cracks that point to a damaged foundation. These are serious issues, but Alpha Foundations has customizable, warrantied solutions including pier systems, crawl space support jacks, and seawall repairs that ensure your property’s permanent stability.

FAQs

About Waterproofing, Crawl Spaces & Foundation Repair in Jacksonville, FL

Alpha Foundation’s drainage systems are very thorough and will completely waterproof your Orlando home from any moisture that tries to seep through. We can offer your home either an interior or an exterior drainage system.
As their names imply, these systems are installed along the interior and exterior of your home respectively. The interior drainage system is installed in the floor and along the walls of your crawl space, which is where most water tends to gather when it floods. The exterior drainage system will be installed along the outside perimeter of your home and will collect any water that gathers out here instead. An interior drainage system will then redirect this water to the sump pump, which in turn will deposit this water out into a nearby storm drain or other drainage trench far away from your home.

An exterior drainage system can benefit your home, as well. Rather than relying on a storm drain far from your home, exterior drains redirect water out onto your lawn. The cap over the drain prevents water from spilling back in and flooding your home. These systems are also guaranteed to never clog. Should any mud, dirt, or other debris flow inside, these drainage systems will then push it out along with any excess water that tries to get into your home.

The SettleStop PolyRenewal™ system utilizes a very innovative foam that is incredibly effective for concrete lifting and stabilization. The foam, made from polyurethane, is very lightweight, so it will not exacerbate soil and concrete settlement, and is also waterproof, so that it can protect the soil underneath concrete slabs against the humid and rainy Orlando summers. The material can also protect chemicals from leaking through into your home, such as weed killer or fertilizers. Furthermore, SettleStop PolyRenewal™ foam cures within 15 to 30 minutes, so you can reap the benefits in less than a day.

What makes the SettleStop PolyRenewal™ so effective, aside from the fact it is lightweight, yet strong, waterproof, and cures quickly, is its ability to expand upon injection. Once the installation experts have drilled a hole into the problem area, the foam is injected and expands within minutes. This allows the foam to lift sunken concrete slabs from below and keep it lifted for years to come. Because this foam expands, it is also able to fill in any voids that exist within the concrete due to soil erosion by the rain. Experts only need to drill a very small hole in order to install it. The process is minimally invasive to your property.

The majority of Florida is comprised of sandy soil, also referred to as Myakka – the Native American word for “big waters”. Southern Florida soil often contains more limestone due to the limestone bedrock below the surface. Meanwhile, Northern Florida soils in the panhandle contain small amounts of clay.

Both types have advantages and disadvantages. Central and South Florida soils are more susceptible to soil washout due to sandy soil’s loose properties. Northern Florida soils with small deposits of clay may absorb water a bit better, so they can avoid washout easier. However, clay is much more susceptible to shrinking when it becomes dry.

The hot Florida sun can cause North Florida soil to crack and shrink after a storm, potentially causing foundation damage. South Florida soils are less likely to be affected by shrinkage, but it can happen anywhere. Either way, all soil in Florida is sandy at its core. Florida’s regular rain and storms can cause foundation damage, so be aware of the soil in your area and take precautions accordingly.

Alpha Foundations can offer your Orlando home a wide variety of foundation repair solutions such as SettleStop IntelliBrace™ I-beam system. Both can help to stabilize and brace your foundation against future moisture damage despite working in different ways.

Carbon fiber wall straps are mainly used to stabilize your foundation wall against bowing inward. Carbon fiber is actually 10 times stronger than steel. It can brace against the toughest pressure with ease. When applied to your foundation wall with our tough epoxy resin, it becomes that much stronger. Once these straps are firmly secured to your wall, you do not have to worry about any more future repairs.

Our SettleStop IntelliBrace™ system, on the other hand, will actively push back against any bowing damage your foundation may face. Each I-beam is attached to your wall via heavy braces along the top and bottom of each beam. The top braces are then slowly tightened over time to repair your bowed-in foundation wall and protect it from bowing in the future.

Foundations are vulnerable to all kinds of moisture damage. For instance, the soil supporting your Orlando’s foundation is made of loose sandy soils that are susceptible to washout. Even just one large storm can easily wash away sandy soil and cause the foundation to begin sinking. The already loose nature of sandy soil does not help. In fact, loose soil can start even before your home has been built.

Basically, contractors need to dig a large hole in the area where they plan to lay down the concrete slab foundation or crawl space. After each component is secured, there will be some space left around them that the contractors will then backfill in with some of the soil they initially dug up. This leads to the clay bowl effect. When this occurs, the much looser fill soil is far more susceptible to washing out as a result of the contractors’ construction methods.

Another way your foundation becomes damaged is through hydrostatic pressure. Orlando’s consistent rainfall can lead to the soil absorbing far more water than it is realistically capable of holding at once. This can create immense pressure against the foundation and cause it to shift out of its original placement or even crack apart.
