Structural Home Repair
When moisture finds its way into your crawl space or basement, it silently weakens the wood that supports your floors and home. Over time, that moisture can lead to wood rot, mold, sagging floors, and structural instability.
Moisture Loc’s team of structural experts identifies vulnerable areas in your home, eliminates the moisture causing them, and prescribes a solution for long-term stability and peace of mind.
- Protect the inside of your home from rot and decay
- Preserve floor strength and load-bearing capacity
- Keep wood dry and away from moisture
Keep your home standing strong.
A Strong Home From the Inside Out
When wood and water mix over an extended period, water wins.
When wooden floor joists, beams, and girders – all of which are critical elements of your home’s internal structure – are exposed to moisture and become compromised, you can see it and feel it. Uneven, saggy floors. Doors that don’t quite shut. Cracks in your drywall. These are all signs that the wood beneath your floors is less than 100%.
Common Signs of Structural Issues:
- Uneven or sagging floors
- Cracks in drywall, doors, or window frames
- Musty odors near floors
- Staining on ceilings or flooring
- Excess condensation or humidity indoors
- Pest or termite activity
Moisture in your home is a formidable opponent, and one that won’t quit. The only way to protect your home’s structure is to eliminate the moisture undermining it and fix the damage. Moisture Loc’s team can do both.

The Importance of Floor Joists
Think about everything in your home. Heavy furniture. Appliances. Even people. Floor joists are meant to support it all, day after day. It’s a critical function that requires quality wood and precise engineering. But even the best wood and plans have their limits, especially when moisture comes into play.
Because wood joists are hidden below your floors, damage often goes unnoticed until it’s advanced. By the time floors start to sag or cracks appear in your living areas, the wood below your home has already been weakened.
As with all structural and foundation issues with your home, it’s never a good idea to take a wait-and-see approach. Wood doesn’t get stronger on its own. The best recourse is to call in professionals to survey the damage and prescribe a solution.
