Photo Album: Stabilizing and Encapsulating Crawl Space in Lakeland, Florida
Anne had just purchased her new home in Lakeland, Florida, and wanted to ensure that the crawl space below was stabilized and protected. After reaching out to us at LRE Foundation Repair and scheduling a free inspection, we sent one of our expert Design Specialists to assess the condition of the crawl space. The specialist found that many of the wooden floor joists had sustained damage and that some of the block piers supporting them had settled into the soil below.
To address these issues, we created a comprehensive plan to repair the floor joists and provide durable, permanent stabilization using our SmartJack system. Additionally, to protect the crawl space from moisture damage year-round, the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System was included in the plan. After reviewing the plan with Anne, our production team promptly went to work, fully repairing, stabilizing, and protecting her home’s crawl space.
Now, Anne can safely enjoy moving into her new home with the assurance that her foundation is fully stabilized and protected.
