Photo Album: Floors Stabilized with SmartJacks in Boca Grande, FL
Bayne S. was both frustrated and concerned with the floors in his Boca Grande, Florida home as they would shift and move when walked on. He called us at LRE Foundation Repair in hopes of identifying the problem and finding a solution. We wasted no time completing a thorough inspection of the home and crawlspace area, where the majority of the damage was found. Our team determined that years of wear and tear, along with shifting soil conditions, had caused the wood support joists to deteriorate. We custom-designed a solution to solve this home's faulty foundation by installing SmartJacks. The SmartJack system is made of galvanized steel posts and beams that are custom-fit and adjusted to lift the floors back to level and create a permanently stable foundation. This project was a success and left the homeowner more than pleased with the results and future peace of mind.
Damaged Crawlspace
The crawlspace under this home suffered from years of wear and tear, causing settlement and sinking to the interior floors.
Spreader Beam Installation
Once the proper location is mapped out for each SmartJack, a supplemental beam is attached to the joists and ready for the SmartJack to be set in place.
Creating a Solid Base
Footings are dug to the appropriate depth and then filled to create a very solid base.
SmartJack Custom Fit
After the footings have been installed, we will cut the SmartJack column to size so it's the perfect size for the crawlspace.
SmartJack Installed
Once the project is complete, SmartJacks can be adjusted to lift sunken floors back level and creates a permanent solid foundation for the home.
