Crawl Space Repair in Clermont, FL
Clermont sits among Central Florida's unusually hilly terrain and dozens of lakes, part of the Lake Wales Ridge and Green Swamp region. Many of those lakes formed from the same karst limestone sinkhole activity that makes soil settling more common here than in flatter parts of the state.

Signs of Crawl Space Damage
- Musty odor coming from vents or floor registers

What Causes Crawl Space Problems in Clermont
Clermont's rolling terrain and lake-dotted landscape are largely the product of karst limestone sinkhole activity over a long geological timescale, and that same porous bedrock can settle support piers unevenly beneath a home today. The area's many lakes also mean a higher water table on lower-lying lots close to the water.
Our Crawl Space Repair Process
We start with a real evaluation to find the actual cause of the damage. Where support piers have settled unevenly into karst-affected soil, we drive steel push piers to stable ground to bring sagging floor joists back into position, and address moisture with sealing, drainage correction, and vapor barrier work.
