Crawl Space Inspections in Brunswick
Why Brunswick homes need this, and how we do it
Brunswick has the oldest housing stock on the coast, and a lot of it still sits on original brick piers and wood posts set on bare dirt. Near the rivers the water table is close, so a heavy rain or a king tide shows up under the house. An inspection here starts with moisture readings, because on a low Brunswick lot the water is often coming up from below.
We check the structure carefully. Interior girders carried on posts set on a single block, long joist spans, and additions supported by whatever was handy all get looked at for rot, crushing and movement. Termite pressure and a century of damp leave a familiar pattern: bounce in the middle of the room and a slope you can feel from the hall into the kitchen.
It all gets photographed and written down, with the causes named and the repairs prioritized. You walk away with a document you can use to plan your own work, to negotiate a purchase in Old Town, or as a second opinion on a quote you already have. If the house needs nothing yet, we tell you and you keep the report.

Questions Brunswick homeowners ask us
My floors feel bouncy on these old brick piers, is that something y'all check?
Bouncy floors over long spans on brick piers are exactly what we look at, checking for sagging joists or shifting piers. The inspection is free and you get a written report with photos.
We're near the river and the king tides come up, could water be getting under my old house?
King tides and river flooding can push water and moisture into a crawl space, so we review your drainage and any existing barrier. It's a free visit with a written report and fixed pricing.
This is one of the older homes downtown, are the original brick piers usually still okay?
Older brick piers can hold up fine or can crack and lean over the decades, and we check each one. We hand you photos and a written report at no charge so you know their real condition.
The joists span pretty far in this place, should I be worried they're sagging?
Long spans put extra load on joists and girders, and we check for sag and rot along the whole run. The inspection is free and comes with fixed pricing in a written report.
Is there really no cost to have somebody come look under my Brunswick house?
That's right, the crawl space inspection and the written report with photos are completely free. You only pay if you decide to move forward on any repairs we spell out with fixed pricing.
“We had stair-step cracks and a door that wouldn't close. They installed push piers and actually lifted the corner back. The cracks closed up and everything works again. They explained every step and the price didn't change.”
