Damaged crawl space girders

Girder Repair in Charlotte and Lake Norman

Crawl spaces are often overlooked, yet they play a crucial role in your home’s structural stability. Girders, which support key parts of your flooring system, can develop damage over time, putting the entire building structure at risk. Damaged girders not only threaten the strength of your home but also create conditions that encourage mold, rot, and rodent infestations.

At DryWorx, we provide professional girder repair services in Charlotte that restore structural integrity, safeguard your property, and prevent recurring problems before they escalate. Call today to schedule a crawl space inspection in Charlotte, Denver, and surrounding cities, including Lake Norman, Concord, and Gastonia.

What Breaks Down Crawl Space Girders

Girders are the main supports for your home’s floor system. Because they carry heavy loads, any damage can affect your entire structure. In crawl spaces, girders are exposed to conditions that make them vulnerable to:

Moisture intrusion

Poor drainage, leaks, or high humidity can warp, weaken, and eventually rot wood.

Pest damage

Rodents and insects gnaw on wood, undermining structural support.

Mold growth

Damp conditions accelerate decay and can spread spores throughout the crawl space.

Structural shifts

Foundation settling stresses the girders, causing cracks and uneven floors.

The Hidden Dangers of Ignoring Girder Damage

Leaving girder problems unattended can escalate minor damage into serious structural and financial issues. Ignoring warning signs can put your property and family at risk. Key consequences include:

Structural damage

Weakened girders can cause sagging floors, uneven weight distribution, and stress on support beams.

Wood decay and rot

Persistent moisture and untreated water damage can cause the wooden griders to deteriorate faster.

Higher repair costs

Minor issues left untreated can develop into major structural problems requiring extensive repairs.

Health and safety risks

Exposure to harmful mold growth can create serious health risks for both your family and pets.
