Crawlspace Repair
Gilbert and Son specializes in crawlspace repair, addressing moisture, mold, and structural issues. Our solutions include vapor barrier installation, sand leveling, and patented N.A.S. systems to prevent future damage. We focus on eliminating root causes like water intrusion and poor ventilation, ensuring long-term protection for homes in Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads. Our repairs meet current building codes and are fully guaranteed.
Mold Remediation
Our mold remediation services target active mold growth caused by moisture exposure. Using air sampling and lab analysis, we identify contamination sources and apply proven protocols to eliminate mold and prevent recurrence. We prioritize health safety by removing mold from crawlspaces and homes, often resolving related issues like persistent coughs or allergies. All remediation work is documented and includes post-treatment verification.
Foundation Repair
Foundation repair addresses structural issues like sagging floors and rotted beams. Our Class A Virginia contractors use moisture meters to assess damage and implement solutions such as beam replacement or aluminum I-beam support. We avoid unnecessary costs by focusing on essential repairs and offer guarantees for all work. Projects range from minor fixes to comprehensive structural stabilization, ensuring safety and longevity.
Air Quality Testing
Air quality testing identifies pollutants like mold spores, pollen, and VOCs affecting indoor environments. We use air sampling and lab analysis to detect hidden mold or moisture issues, especially when symptoms like allergies persist without visible causes. Results guide targeted remediation, improving health outcomes and ensuring homes meet safety standards. Testing is often included in crawlspace and mold inspection packages.
Water Drainage Systems
Water drainage systems prevent foundation damage by redirecting water away from homes. Services include french drain installation, gutter extensions, and vapor barrier encapsulation. Our patented systems manage high water tables and humidity in coastal areas like Virginia Beach, reducing risks of mold, rot, and structural failure. Solutions are customized to property needs, with options for natural slope or pumping station-based drainage.
