Spongy Wood Floors in El Dorado, KS

This homeowner recently refinished his floors and wanted to make sure they weren't going to get ruined or "spongy". When we went to the property to perform the inspection, we found the humidity and moisture levels of the wood flooring in the crawlspace was causing the wood to soften and sink, resulting in the spongy feeling they had on the main level on the home. 

The existing concrete support columns were spaced too far apart, which only cause the issue to get worse. On top of that, there was an area under the washer/dryer and kitchen that had zero support with a failing concrete cinderblock, making the entire floor very unstable. 

To fix, we used our CleanSpace vapor barrier system to encapsulate and isolate the earth from the rest of their home, which will help prevent moisture from eating into the wood flooring above. It'll drastically reduce the humidity levels and keep the floor as strong as possible. We also installed our SmartJack system and supplemental beams to solidify the floors and help better support their home.
