Photo Album: 100-Year-Old Home Stabilized in Daytona Beach, FL
This 100-year-old home in Daytona Beach, Florida had a deteriorating crawlspace. Nick S. was concerned about the structural support below as his kitchen floors would move and give way when he walked on them. To preserve the historic home, Nick contacted LRE Foundation Repair. LRE conducted a thorough inspection of the property, taking precise measurements and pictures of the crawlspace. It was evident that the age of the house, combined with deteriorating support columns, was causing damage to the foundation. LRE proposed a custom-designed solution using SmartJacks, a permanent system that would raise sunken floors, add stability to the foundation, and protect the home's value. The SmartJack system consists of robust, galvanized steel posts that are attached to the house to provide the necessary support and lift for stabilizing and re-leveling the floors. Nick was delighted with the results of the project, as the SmartJack system permanently stabilized his historic home, and eliminated the bounce in his floors.
