Interior Garage Wall Cracks
The homeowner was alarmed by the cracking patterns along the interior walls of the garage, raising concerns about foundation issues.
Corner Wall Cracks
Upon close inspection, the LRE Design Specialist found that this corner of the garage had settled by a couple of inches, causing the walls to crack and verifying structural issues.
Crawl Space Inspection
After entering the home's crawl space, the LRE Design Specialist quickly identified areas where structural support issues were present.
Sloping Wooden Floor Joists
The wooden floor joists supporting the home's floors and interior walls lacked adequate support from the crawl space below, resulting in the home's instability and the development of cracks in the walls.
SmartJack System for Foundation Stabilization
The LRE team has successfully instaled the SmartJack System in the home's crawl space to provide robust and permanent support to the floor joists above.
Superior Stabilization Solution
Crafted out of galvanized steel, the SmartJacks employed by the LRE team are resistant to corrosion and sit on a base of crushed stone that is not susceptible to soil settlement.
EverLast Crawl Space Door
As an additional measure of protection, the LRE team has installed the EverLast Crawl Space Door to provide the entrance to the crawl space with an airtight, waterproof seal to keep cold and humid air outside.
