Testimonials

I had a large issue in the driveway of my home. Multiple cracks. It sounded hollowed as you stomp on it in multiple areas. WHAT THEY DID:  They filled up the gaps inside. They repaired superficial cracks very well. They brought up the issue of how rain water could be coming under my driveway and causing more cracks in the future.

Just wanted to let you know that Josh and Nathan came today to take care of our driveway issues. They both did an excellent job in a very professional manner. We will definitely recommend A-1 Concrete Leveling to our friends here, should they have need of such services! Thanks again for your help and Deanne's help in resolving our driveway issues.

We needed part of our front sidewalk leveled, and also porch stairs. Rhett was on time for the estimate and thorougly explained what had to be done, and how it would be done. No rush, willing to answer any questions at all. They called and had an earlier opening than promised so we got it done even sooner than we had hoped. Everyone was very professional and knowledgeable.

I know I had a lot of questions and I appreciated your patience. Your crew did a great job! I walked/crawled around before they left and it was exactly as I expected. The contractors I’ve hired so far for various projects cut a lot of corners and I wouldn’t hire any of them again. I’m glad Luis recommended A1. I will recommend you to anyone looking for foundation work as well.

How and Why to Improve Your Crawl Space

Aerial image of a neighborhood.

When you think of what needs to be done in your home, chances are high that your crawl space is a low priority item. You need to weed the yard, fix the kitchen faucet, and, heck, even clean your baseboards before you ever make it down to your crawlspace.

In today’s blog, we’re going to tell you why to make sure your crawl space is in pristine condition, along with fill you in on just how to do it right. For foundation repair, concrete repair, and anything else you can think of related to foundations or concrete, A-1 Concrete Leveling and Foundation Repair is for you! Our foundation repair company serves clients throughout the Nashville area and we’d love to help you next.

Bugs and Insects Can Cause Damage

Your crawl space may seem like a creepy, damp, and dark place for you to hang out — but all of that adds up to the perfect hangout spot for all of the many bugs and insects here in the South. These bugs will find refuge in your crawl space and then make their way into your house framing and more. All of this adds up to foundation repair that you could have avoided from the beginning by taking better care of your crawl space.

Excess Moisture Can Cause Damage

Water is great for slip and slides, car washes, and hydration. For foundations and crawl spaces? Well, not so much. If you end up with excess moisture in your crawl space, then you may also end up with excess damage and decreased money! Excess moisture can damage or completely deteriorate parts of your framing and potentially even lead to foundation cracks and more. By the time you see moisture, it’s too late; you most likely already need foundation repair. By working with foundation contractors early on, however, you can make sure no water is getting into your crawl space.

Mold, Mildew, Dust, and More Decrease Your Health

Got allergies? Maybe it’s not the seasonal allergens making you sneeze, wheeze, and cough — it could be the allergens right in your home! Crawl spaces aren’t just great for bugs and moisture; they’re also great homes for mold, mildew, dust, debris, and other allergens. Unfortunately for you, though, they also won’t stay out of sight and out of mind down in your crawlspace. These harmful airborne toxins will work their way up and into your home, where they can decrease the health of you and your family. 

Unsafe and Unclean Crawl Spaces Can Decrease Property Value

Just in case everything on this list didn’t have you already cringing and calling for foundation repair, there’s another big reason we see to work with foundation contractors to clean up your crawl space: property value

Let’s say you do keep your crawl space out of sight and out of mind. You don’t know there are bugs, moisture, and mold down there, so it’s not affecting you, right? Then you go to sell your home. Uh-oh! A home inspection shows these negative aspects right away, and your property value takes a turn for the worse. On the off chance that your foundation or framing aren’t in need of major repairs, you’ll still have to get everything taken care of and hopefully still sell your home for a good profit.

Here at A-1 Concrete Leveling and Foundation Repair, we have a few solutions that can help you turn your crawl space into a safe, clean area that won’t cause damage, health risks, or decreased property values.
