Crawl Space Before SmartJack Installation
Upon inspecting the crawl space below the home, the Design Specialist found many of the original block piers settling into the soil below, creating a lack of sufficient support for the floor joists above.
Sloping Floor Joists
Because of weakened support over time, the floor joists in the crawl space developed a slight slope, resulting in instability felt in the floors inside.
Floor Joist Moisture Damage
Excess moisture in the crawl space has led to mold and mildew damage to the wooden floor joists, significantly weakening their ability to adequately support the home's floors.
Stabilizing Floors Joists with SmartJack System
The LRE team has successfully stabilized the floor joists with the SmartJack system, effectively leveling the sloping floors inside.
Permanent Crawl Space Support
The SmartJacks installed by the LRE team are made of corrosion-resistant galvanized steel and are not susceptible to soil settlement, making them a permanent solution for crawl space support.
