Photo Album: Stabilizing Crawl Space Support in Clearwater, Florida
Chris was preparing to sell his home in Clearwater, Florida, and was concerned that structural issues might reduce its market value. He noticed areas of the floors that felt unstable when he walked on them and contacted LRE Foundation Repair for a free inspection. After examining the crawl space, an LRE Design Specialist found that the wooden floor joists lacked proper support, causing them to sag and creating the instability Chris had noticed. To resolve this, our specialist designed a plan to install the SmartJack system, providing durable and permanent support for the floor joists. After consulting with Chris, our production team installed the SmartJacks in key areas throughout the crawl space, successfully restoring the joists to a stable, level position. Now, Chris can confidently list his home for sale, knowing the foundation is permanently stabilized and secure.
