Photo Album: Crawl Space Foundation Support in Dover, FL
Mark J. from Dover, FL, became increasingly concerned about the sagging floorboards in his home. After several unsuccessful attempts to address the issue elsewhere, Mark contacted LRE Foundation Repair in search of a solution. An appointment was scheduled for one of our expert Design Specialists to conduct a full-home inspection to determine the cause of the sagging floorboards.
During the inspection, the Design Specialist examined the crawl space beneath the house and identified that the problem was not primarily due to settlement but rather damage to the wooden floor joists supporting the home's floor. Additionally, the block columns supporting the floor joists displayed subtle signs of wear and tear. A plan was devised not only to repair some of the damaged floor joists but also to provide permanent support using the SmartJack system. Following the successful installation of the SmartJack system by the LRE team, Mark was delighted to have his floorboards stabilized and could now enjoy a worry-free future without concerns about potential issues arising.
Floor Joist Damage
Due to excessive moisture and general wear and tear, wooden floor joists will splinter and decay over time.
Block Column Deteroriation
Block columns that support a home's flooring erode with time, reducing their support to the floor joists above and causing a home's floors to sag.
SmartJack System Installation
The SmartJack system has been installed to provide superior support to the floor joists above that traditional block columns cannot.
Whole Home Stabilization
The SmartJack system is capable of providing permanent stability to the entirety of a home's crawl space.
Superior Crawl Space Stability
The SmartJack system, made of corrosion-resistant galvanized steel, provides permanent stability to a home's floor joists and eliminates structural concerns.
