Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A condominium association in Dunedin, Florida contacted LRE Foundation Repair after receiving complaints of structural damage and sagging floors in a few of the units. LRE worked closely with engineers, inspecting the buildings and accompanying crawlspace. They noted that over-exposure to the elements and foundation settlement were the main cause of rotten wood joists, mold, damaged insulation, and water intrusion. LRE then custom-designed a solution using SmartJacks and its Crawlspace Encapsulation System, which together would control moisture, air flow, and stabilize the structure. SmartJacks are made of galvanized steel posts that are custom-fit and adjusted to lift foundations back level, while the Encapsulation system dries up the area and prevents and protects from future damage. Once the job was complete, the association was thrilled at the look of the new, clean crawlspace and relieved its residents could rest easy. 

This Dunedin, Florida crawlspace is almost unrecognizable after LRE Foundation Repair completed this transformation using its Crawlspace Encapsulation and SmartJack system. The condo association called LRE after receiving numerous complaints of sagging floors and worries about structural damage. LRE thoroughly inspected all units and got to work stabilizing the crawlspace that had been compromised from excess exposure to the elements and loose soil conditions. LRE's Crawlspace Encapsulation involves covering every square inch of the crawlspace with materials designed to keep outside elements totally separate from what's inside the home. LRE used a variety of moisture barriers, new insulation, and dehumidifiers to control the air quality in the environment and completely ward off future damage. In addition, LRE's SmartJack system uses galvanized steel posts, cut to size and attached to the new support system, allowing for stability and releveling of the foundation. Once this massive project was complete, the association and its residents were happy with the results and could rest easy in their newly stabilized homes.

Shortly after purchasing his new home in Safety Harbor, Florida, Nik noticed sections of the floors sinking, with visible gaps forming between the floors and the adjoining walls. Suspecting an issue with the crawl space’s structural support, he reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for assistance. Our team quickly scheduled a free inspection with one of our expert Design Specialists. 

Upon inspecting the crawl space, our specialist found that the original block piers supporting the floor joists had settled and become dismantled, leading to the sagging floors. To restore stability, we recommended installing our SmartJack system, designed to lift and permanently support the floor joists. Once Nik approved the plan, our team promptly installed the SmartJacks in key areas of the crawl space, successfully leveling the floors and providing durable, long-term support.

With his floors now fully stabilized, Nik can enjoy peace of mind as he settles into his new home, knowing his foundation is secure.
