Did you know that Tennessee is in the top 5 states with the highest risk for sink holes? Sinkholes are formed when the land surface above collapses or sinks into the cavities or when surface material is carried downward into the voids. In simpler terms, sinkholes are formed when the surface layer collapses.
Sinkholes are nothing to mess around with; especially when it comes to your home.
What are the signs of a sinkhole?
- Cracked walls

What's Wrong With A Wet Crawlspace in Nashville?
So you
opened your crawlspace door to have a look around and you discovered that it's,
well, a little damp. Despite your best DIY efforts with crawlspace
dehumidifiers, crawlspace waterproofing, and crawlspace vents, it's still just
not quite right. So you're forced to wonder: is a dry crawlspace really worth
all this effort? The crawlspace repair experts at Ground Up Builders helped
explain the importance of foundation repair.
Cockroaches,
rats, mice, can all enter through a crawlspace, and adding moisture to the mix
only make your crawlspace all the more tempting. Add to that plenty of
crawlspace insulation provides a home for nests and they're right at home among your old
sneakers and holiday decorations.
Even a
small amount of moisture can cause damage to your home that quickly becomes
extremely expensive to replace. Most homes in Nashville and Middle Tennessee
have wooden homes. Water can rot your home from the inside out.
Mold, which
is particularly prevalent in Middle Tennessee, can grow from almost any
moisture, especially if it's stagnant water. It gets into the air and can cause
all sorts of health problems.
There are
lots of reasons to get your crawl space property ventilated and dry – however,
it's a very difficult thing to DIY. Better to call Ground Up Builders to come and have a look. They're located at 4743 Veterans Parkway,
Murfreesboro, TN 37128. Get a special offer today.
