Photo Album: Crawl Space Foundation Support in Plant City, FL
Steve H. from Plant City, FL, was looking to do some renovations to his home and keep one of his largest investments in good standing. Although he had a substantial amount of work that needed to be completed inside the home, he knew he had to make sure the foundation of his home was in good condition first. He contacted LRE Foundation Repair to come out and conduct a thorough full-home inspection, including the crawl space, and discovered areas where the wooden floor joists had become vulnerable to deterioration as a result of moisture damage. The specialist created a customized plan for the homeowner that included the installation of our SmartJack System to support the floor joists. The galvanized steel SmartJacks are corrosion-resistant and not prone to soil settlement, providing permanent stability to the home’s foundation. With this plan in place, the LRE team went to work installing the SmartJack system, bringing long-lasting support to floor joists for years to come. Steve was delighted that his home's foundation was now permanently stabilized, allowing the rest of his renovations to proceed smoothly.
