About Our Wood Damage Repair Services
Alabama's humidity and abundant rainfall create ideal conditions for wood decay fungi and wood-destroying insects. Crawl space joists, sill plates, and subflooring that remain damp become structurally compromised, causing bouncing floors, sagging subfloors, and eventually unsafe conditions. APS Foundation repairs damaged structural wood and addresses the moisture source that caused it.

- We address the moisture root cause alongside the structural wood repair
- Borate treatment standard on all wood repair projects

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my floor joists are rotted?
Soft or bouncing floors, especially in specific areas, are the primary indicator. Musty odor from the crawl space, visible mold on subflooring from below, and visible discoloration or soft spots on accessible joists confirm the diagnosis. APS inspects from the crawl space.
Does APS treat wood after repair?
Yes. All repaired and adjacent structural wood receives borate treatment as standard practice. Borate is a natural mineral compound effective against wood decay fungi and wood-destroying insects including termites and carpenter ants.
Do I need to fix the moisture problem first?
Yes. APS addresses the moisture source, crawl space encapsulation, drainage, dehumidification, as part of any wood repair project. Repairing wood in a wet crawl space without resolving the moisture produces wood that rots again.
