Repair Framing and Remodel a Bath Room

Bridgewater, NJ - Our clients found soft flooring in their bath room and that half of the floor framing had settled at the outside wall.  On inspection, we found the crawl space full of wet, fallen insulation and various construction debris, framing that had dropped by as much as two inches over 12 feet, too much moisture cause by no ventilation, and that improper plumbing had allowed water leaks to damage the floor structure.  A Tjernlund Underaire crawlspace ventilator with thermostat, and dehumidistat, plus repairing the crawl space vents will condition the crawl space properly.  After removing the debris and regrading the soil, we installed a vapor barrier, and  within minutes, saw the moisture that had been damaging the house on the underside of the plastic.

Thanks again to Quabeck Architecture, Spera Electric, North Pole Insulation, and Jack Dolan & Sons Plumbing Heating & Cooling for helping to serve another client well.

Improper Framing  (need 1 1/2" bearing each side of joint)		Nope, the camera is not leaning.  The "temporary" posts were sliding!		Wow...wood on soil is not a footing!
Mortar joints, anyone?			Gap in the masonry; An attempt at conditioning the crawl space.
			That's right, the wires were bent, crushed, and kinked so that the insulation broke.
