What we do
Athens sits on expansive red clay soil that shifts with every wet and dry season, and the region’s older housing stock means crawlspace problems are common and often further along than homeowners realize. Our Athens technicians specialize in crawlspace encapsulation, foundation repair, basement waterproofing, sump pump installation, sagging floor repairs, and mold remediation across Clarke County and Northeast Georgia.
Crawlspace Encapsulation
Vented crawlspaces are the default for many homes in Athens, and they perform poorly in Georgia’s humid climate. Warm air pulled into an open crawlspace condenses on cooler surfaces below your floor, feeding moisture into wood framing, insulation, and soil year-round. Encapsulation seals the crawlspace completely, eliminating that moisture cycle and improving air quality, energy efficiency, and structural integrity throughout your home.
Concrete Leveling
Athens driveways, walkways, and patios settle unevenly as the clay soil beneath them swells, contracts, and shifts over time. Sunken slabs create trip hazards and drainage problems that get worse each season. We lift and level concrete surfaces back to grade, including driveways, sidewalks, patios, pool decks, garage floors, and slab foundations. Better yet, we do this at a fraction of the full replacement cost.
Foundation Repair
Clarke County’s clay soil expands when wet and shrinks in dry conditions. Over the years, that seasonal movement stresses your foundation and can produce stair-step cracks in brick, gaps above door frames, and floors that slope noticeably toward one end of the house. Our foundation repair services address the source of movement and stabilize your home’s structure before the damage compounds further.
Mold Remediation
Crawlspaces that are not encapsulated and stay above 70% relative humidity create an ideal environment for mold growth. Left untreated, mold spreads through wood framing and becomes a health concern for everyone in the home. Our technicians serve homeowners in Athens and surrounding areas, helping to identify the moisture source, safely remediate existing mold, and treat the structure to prevent regrowth.
Sagging Floor Repair
Soft spots, floor bounce, and low areas in your floor are signs that the joists or support posts below have been compromised by prolonged moisture exposure. In older Athens homes, this is a common finding, and it gets worse without intervention. We repair failing floor joists and install the structural support your floor needs to be level and stable.
Basement Crack Repair
Poured concrete foundations in Northeast Georgia can develop cracks as the surrounding soil shifts with moisture changes. Those cracks can lead water into your basement and raise indoor humidity, accelerate mold growth in the home, and erode the concrete over time. The ACS team in Athens seals foundation cracks at the source and addresses the drainage conditions that drive water toward your foundation walls.
Crawlspace & Foundations
Athens receives significant seasonal rainfall, and its clay soil drains slowly, meaning water sits against foundations longer than it would in sandier soil. Proper drainage systems redirect water away from your foundation before it becomes an intrusion problem, which protects your crawlspace, your basement, and the structural integrity of your home.
Dehumidifiers
Georgia summers can create dangerously high humidity in crawlspaces. A properly sized, professionally installed dehumidifier maintains a controlled environment in your crawlspace year-round, and protects encapsulation work, wood framing, and air quality from seasonal humidity spikes regardless of exterior conditions.
Insulation Removal
Old fiberglass insulation can sag and actively hold moisture against your framing. We remove damaged insulation safely and completely, preparing the space for proper encapsulation or correctly installed replacement insulation.
