Kefficient Can Help A common issue experienced by homeowners is crawl space sagging. This is an issue where the floor above your crawl space starts to buckle and develops a noticeable sag (also known as an uneven floor.) Crawl space sagging is a severe issue that should be handled sooner rather than later. Why Is The Floor Above My Crawl Space Sagging? When it comes to repairing crawl space sagging, it's important to understand its cause. Below are some of the most common reasons why the floor above your crawl space is sagging: Humidity & VentilationFor a crawl space to stay healthy, it needs adequate ventilation. Without a steady fresh air flow, a crawl space can quickly allow moisture buildup, becoming humid and leading to wood rot.Standing WaterOne of the worst things a crawl space can have is standing water. Standing water can soak into and quickly erode the integrity of the most robust wood posts leading to sag. View AllWood RotWhen combined with high humidity & moisture, wood tends to become infected with rot. Wood produces a musty, earthy smell as the rot spreads and breaks down wood, causing your floors to sag.OverweightOne of the least talked about reasons for a sagging floor is weight. When combined with an unhealthy crawl space, weight can cause girders and beams to lose their integrity leading to a sagging floor.
