Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair and Stabilization in Lakeland, Florida

Katherine, preparing to sell her home in Lakeland, Florida, needed the crawl space inspected after the prospective buyer noticed areas where the floors felt unstable. She called us at LRE Foundation Repair and scheduled a free inspection with one of our Design Specialists. Upon careful examination, the specialist found that many of the wooden floor joists in the crawl space had been damaged and lacked proper support from the original block piers. A comprehensive plan was created to replace some of the joists and implement our state-of-the-art SmartJack system to provide them with sturdy and permanent stabilization. Our production team worked diligently to implement this plan, successfully replacing the floor joists and installing the SmartJack system. Katherine was overjoyed with the results delivered by our team, allowing her to successfully sell the home to the new buyer with peace of mind.

Makeshift Supports

A common problem found in many crawl spaces is the attempt to stabilize the home's floors with makeshift supports. These attempts usually prove to be inadequate over time, leading to instability of the home's foundation.

Splitting Floor Joists

Due to wear and tear, coupled with inadequate support from the original block piers, the wooden floor joists in the crawl space showed significant signs of deterioration.
