Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair and Stabilization in Sarasota, Florida
Ann had noticed signs of settlement on the right side of her home in Sarasota, Florida, and needed to address the issue before it progressed further. She intended to leave the home to her niece and nephew and didn’t want them to inherit an unstable property. She asked LRE Foundation Repair to inspect the crawl space beneath her home, and we promptly scheduled an appointment with one of our Design Specialists. Upon careful examination, the specialist found many of the wooden support joists had been damaged, and the original block piers supporting them had settled into the ground. Our production team replaced some of the wooden support joists and installed the SmartJack system to provide the needed support to fully stabilize the home. In addition, LumberKote was applied to the wooden joists to protect them from further moisture damage. Ann’s home is now permanently stabilized, giving her the peace of mind that it is ready to be passed on to future generations.
Lack of Crawl Space Support
The Design Specialist's inspection revealed areas in the crawl space with inadequate support for the home's floor joists.
Settling Block Piers
The original block piers in the crawl space had shown signs of settling into the soil, resulting in inadequate support for the home's foundation.
LumberKote
LumberKote is applied to the wooden floor joists as a protective sealant that resists mold and fungal growth.
Installation of SmartJack System
The LRE team successfully installs the SmartJack system in the crawl space to provide sturdy and permanent support to the home's floor joists.
Full Home Stabilization
The SmartJack system can be installed along the full length of the crawl space to provide the entire home with permanent support.
