Tier 2 — Crawl Space & Framing
Pier-and-beam repair and crawl space encapsulation, under one warranty.
Crawl-space homes fail in two ways at once: pier movement causing sagging floor joists, and moisture causing wood rot and mold. AFW covers both — pier-and-beam structural repair plus full crawl space encapsulation with sump and moisture control, bound to the property.
Structural settlement
Settlement protection for the piers, girders, and stem walls that hold the home up.
- Helical and resistance piers installed to engineered specifications
- Helper girders and stem-wall reinforcement
- Joist sag remediation and shimming
- Sub-floor structural correction
Environmental integrity
The crawl space climate is part of the foundation system. Manage it, and the wood framing lasts.
- Full vapor-barrier encapsulation systems
- Conditioned-space dehumidification, RH targeted below 55%
- Drainage and sump systems where required
- Prevention scope for wood rot, mold growth, and joist deterioration
Most contractor warranties are a liner.
AFW covers the system.
Industry-standard crawl-space "warranties" are often limited to the encapsulation product itself. AFW writes coverage on the structural and environmental performance of the whole foundation, subject to the issued policy terms.
