Photo Album: Crawl Space Stabilization in San Antonio, FL
Rochelle M. from San Antonio, FL, had plans to pass her home on to her children one day and wanted to ensure that it was in stable condition. She became concerned when she noticed that the block piers on the perimeter of the home were starting to settle. To address this issue, she reached out to LRE Foundation Repair and requested a full-home inspection to find ways to prevent further settlement from occurring.
Upon inspection, our Specialist confirmed that due to settlement and wear and tear of the original block piers, the wooden floor joists were not being provided sufficient support to support the weight of the home. The specialist recommended installing our SmartJack System. These SmartJacks are custom-fit for any crawl space, provide robust support to the floor joists, and are not prone to soil settlement or corrosion.
With the installation of the SmartJack System, LRE was able to achieve stability and security for Rochelle's home for years to come, enabling her to fulfill her dream of passing down a stable home to her children one day.

Foundation Settlement
Unstable soil has caused the block piers to sink and the floor joists to sag, causing instability to the home's foundation.

The SmartJack System has been installed under the crawl space to provide permanent and sufficient support to the floor joists above.
