Replacing crawl space components is complex, and not a do-it-yourself task. The crawl space specialists at Falcone Crawl Space & Structural Repair can install additional supports when your floors sag and can replace rotted structural members due to termite or moisture damage. 

Your on-site crew leader will have completed extensive classroom training in building systems and proven themselves in the field by replacing over 10,000 linear feet of band, still, girder and joists. 

All crawl space wood replacement will be backed with a 15 year transferable warranty. 

Wood members of crawl spaces are subject to moisture damage (rot), pest damage (from termites, carpenter ants, etc.), dry rot, warping due to being over spanned.  If the rotted wood and its cause are not addressed, wood keeps rotting away, getting weaker and weaker. 

Falcone carpenters are experienced at replacing all components of your floor system, including bandsill, girders, joists and subfloor.

Bandsill: Known by many names - band, band joist, rim joist, band board; sill, sill plate, mudsill - these important structural members run along the exterior of your home.  

Girders, drop girders and beams hold the center of your house together, typically run parallel to your band, support your joists and sit on a piering system that carries key loads throughout your home. 

Joists, as mentioned above, run perpendicular to your girder and carry your live or daily load (furniture, people, etc.).  

Subfloor sits on top of your floor system, tying it all together, and leaving you a surface for flooring.

Our piers are built by Falcone Certified™ Pier Installers and come with a 25 year warranty. 

Falcone Certified™ Pier Installers have completed 10 hours of classroom training, participated in 40 hours of on-site training and built approved piers in a minimum of 15 different crawl space settings. The classroom training includes sessions on crawl space safety, customer service, soil conditions, building code requirements, material selection and Falcone values.

Adding pier supports can correct over-spanning and provide additional support for increased loads. While others might recommend a jack, wooden post or column of stacked blocks without mortar, these attempts can't compare to the strength, longevity and durability of a Falcone pier.

This pier was installed by a Falcone Certified™ Pier Installer and has the vapor barrier in place.

 

This is a section of a rebuilt foundation and floor system of a 1906 home in Belmont, North Carolina. Most of our repairs are done from below, but this floor system was sitting on the ground so the repairs had to be performed from above.

Foundation walls and footings are repaired or replaced by Fred Falcone II himself and are backed by a transferable warranty.

Foundation wall repair and replacement is not for the novice. In order to get it right, keep it safe and minimize disruption to your life, call a specialist like Falcone. We are creating a training program to appoint others as Foundation Specialists but this takes time. We believe that a craftsman should learn all the ins and outs of a home's systems, materials and soil, study building codes extensively and work with us on many foundation repairs before they can lead a foundation wall replacement without us present. 

If Falcone replaces or repairs your foundation wall, Fred will be there to get it done right, with his highly-trained carpentry team by his side.  Fred will be your direct point of contact throughout the process. 

Most foundation failures we find are due to soil conditions, moisture, poor design or neglect.

When you begin to see any of these symptoms in your curtain wall, please call us at (704) 719-1198: thick cracks, new cracks, crumbling, bowing or leaning sections.

Usually by the time a homeowner calls us, they have already seen the damage worsen over several years. Often we find dozens of jacks and multiple failed attempts to "band-aid" the situation during our evaluation. However, even in the worst cases we have seen, there is a solution for saving your foundation.

In almost all of our foundation wall replacement jobs, the homeowners are still able to live in the home and experience minimal disruption.   

After the repair or replacement is completed, we offer free annual inspections for our customers. This service allows us to give thorough evaluations, measure any changes and prevent future problems.
