Damage Restoration San Luis Obispo | JRS Construction

In SLO, crawl space moisture often comes from high groundwater, poor drainage, or plumbing leaks. During freeze-thaw cycles, pipes under homes near the hillsides can crack. Vented crawl spaces also let in humid coastal air, which condenses on cold surfaces. That trapped moisture rots wood and attracts mold.

Look for soft or bubbling drywall, musty odors, and stains near baseboards. In bathrooms or kitchens, check for peeling paint on walls near the shower or sink. If your floors feel spongy or you see cupping on hardwood, there may be a leak from the unit above or a pipe inside the wall. Call JRS Construction early to prevent mold.

First, we extract all standing water quickly. Then we use industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to dry the wood from below and above. If the planks have cupped but not buckled, we can sand and refinish them. For severe damage, we replace affected boards and match the finish. Our team works with your timeline and insurance.
