Common Residential Flooring Problems

Our team is able to correct a wide range of flooring problems quickly and professionally. Let’s look at some of the most common flooring problems that homeowners experience.

Sloping Floors

There are a number of possible causes of sloping floors. These include foundation settlement, weak framing, crawl space issues, busted floor joists, and subfloor issues.

In terms of repair, there are a number of options available depending on the specific cause of the sloping. These include flooring and subflooring replacement, wooden structure repair, and crawl space and foundation repair.

During our free inspection, we will diagnose the cause of the issue and recommend a solution.

Hardwood Floor Cupping

Hardwood flooring is an elegant, low-maintenance, and long-lasting flooring option for residential homes. Even though they are durable, hardwood floors are still susceptible to problems.

One of these is cupping, which is a wood floor’s natural reaction to moisture. It results in the edges of a board becoming higher than the center, which creates a concave shape. Common causes include subfloor moisture, humidity levels, improper installation, and leaks and spills.

Our team will help you address the cause of the issue and restore your floors back to looking their best.

Bulging Floors

Bulging floorboards are both a health and safety hazard and an aesthetic nightmare. Common causes include high humidity, water on/under the floor, poor installation, and improper or no acclimation.

Our expert team will diagnose the cause of the bulging floorboards and recommend a solution that works. We’ll also advise how you can prevent your floorboards from bulging in the future.

Sinking Floors

Sinking or sagging floors could be caused by a range of issues and, unless effectively addressed, could develop into a major safety and structural problem.

Some possible causes of sinking floors include foundation settlement, water damage, and improper joist placement. Possible solutions include “sistering” the sagging joists in the basement and jacking up floor joists in the crawl space.

Trim Separating From Floors

If you notice a gap forming between your flooring and the wall, or your baseboards separating from the wall, it might be an indication of structural damage. In such an instance, it’s important to directly address the underlying structural issue.

Common solutions to this issue include “sistering” floor joists, foundation repair, and replacing floor joists.

Bouncy Floors

Bouncy floors might sound like fun in one sense, though the reality is they are a serious flooring issue that requires professional repair.

Some common causes of bouncy floors include water damage to the subfloor, damaged joists, termite damage, undersized trusses, and lack of “blocking” and “cross bracing”. Our team will address the cause of the issue and carry out the necessary repairs.

Soft/Rotten Floors

Wood rot is a form of decay that is triggered by a combination of fungi and moisture. Various parts of a home are at risk of wood rot, including flooring (such as in basements, wet rooms, and outdoor decks).

It is essential that you contact a professional team to treat any flooring in your home that is soft or rotten. Contact us today for a free inspection.

Customer Reviews

Our Reviews Reflect Our Commitment to Taking Great Care of Our Customers

  • “After shopping companies and getting several bids on the same project, we chose Bay Crawl because of their reputation and price. They had our whole house leveled and stabilized in two days. Left our property cleaner than they found it with a smile on their face. Do NOT plan your next project without getting an estimate from Bay Crawl.”

    – Ryan Simpson

  • “Our experience with Bay was outstanding. From first contact everything was smooth and made as easy as possible for us. We were kept informed every step of the process via email, phone, and text. The work was top-notch. The cost was extremely reasonable. We were impressed that Bay did not try to sell services that weren’t required.”

    – Teresa Lackey

  • “My experience was nothing but the best with Bay Crawl Space. The price was much more affordable than what another company quoted. Scheduling was easy and painless. They were professional and treated my home as if it was their own. They left me feeling very confident in my decision to go with Bay.”

    – Michael Turner

  • “It was an easy decision to choose Bay Crawl Space over the three other estimates I had gotten—not only was the price reasonable based on my research, but Jamie was the only sales advisor who described more than one option that I could choose. The scheduling was very smooth! I am confident that if I have any problems, I can call & they will resolve them.”

    – Diane Taylor

  • “Severe water damage to the structure. We thought we were in real trouble but after talking with them, we felt much better as we were assured that this was “Easy.” Our experience with Bay was better than we have had with any other contractor EVER. Upfront with what to expect, honest in their communications, and fair pricing.“

    – Mike O’Neill

  • “We had our crawlspace encapsulated by BAY three years ago at a fraction of the cost of JES’s estimate. The work was done on time and to exceptional standards. The office has been courteous, the workers arrived on time, and the work was accomplished as promised. BAY gets my highest recommendation.”

    – Bob Essman

  • “I am delighted with the crawl space encapsulation completed by Bay Crawl Space & Foundation Repair. What I particularly appreciate about BAY is their attention to detail & commitment to excellence. They were punctual and very much worth the value. I highly recommend Bay Crawl Space to anyone looking for excellent service & an affordable product.”

    – Leslie Ballard

  • “I’m not one to take home repairs lightly so I try and do my research. I got over 4 estimates to have my crawl space encapsulated and some repair work done. BAY beat the others prices by over 10k. Oh and they actually did more work that what the others quoted us to do. They also do quality work. So value for money, BAY is the company to go with.”

    – Benjamin Alexander

  • “I had an independent civil engineer out to inspect prior to the BAY visit. I was afraid I might be oversold on repairs I didn’t need. This was not the case. BAY made the same observations and gave same explanations or better. Great job BAY on hiring honest and competent assessors. Very professional, will work with you again!”

    – Zachary Frey

  • “I’m super pleased with the work Bay did us, it made a difference almost immediately. Our service advisor, Beau, did an excellent job of identifying the issues in our crawl and offering reasonably priced solutions. The team they sent out to do the work was awesome. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient!”

    – David Green

  • Bay Crawl is by far the number 1 company for all of your crawl space and foundation needs. They are fairly priced. When coupled with the amazing service you receive, its a value that’s unbeatable. Every employee I interacted with was professional, polite, knowledgable, and hard working. You will not deal with a better run company than Bay Crawl.
