Diana was preparing to list her home for sale in Belleair, Florida, and sought to ensure its maximum value by having the floors leveled and stabilized. She asked LRE Foundation Repair for assistance, and an expert Design Specialist visited her home to conduct a thorough inspection of the crawl space. The specialist discovered that, due to soil settlement, numerous block piers supporting the floor joists above had sunk, resulting in insufficient support for the floors above. To level the floors and provide permanent stabilization, the LRE team installed the SmartJack system in the crawl space. With this solution in place, the floors are now leveled and stabilized, ensuring that Diana's home is ready to be listed for sale at its highest potential value.
Erika B. from Melbourne, Florida owns a century-old historic home. She noticed that the floors were sagging and squeaking when she walked on them. To get a permanent solution, she contacted LRE Foundation Repair for a free inspection. After the inspection, LRE found out that the existing support columns in the crawl space of her home had settled, and the wood joists had deteriorated, causing the floors to sag. To solve the problem, LRE's Design Specialist recommended the installation of SmartJack, a galvanized steel system designed to stabilize the floor joists in the crawl space. The SmartJack system was installed throughout the crawl space, and it permanently lifted and re-leveled the floors of the house. After the job was completed, Erika was extremely pleased with the results.
Maria Q. from Lake Wales, FL was concerned about excess moisture getting trapped in the crawl space under her home. She reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for assistance, and an experienced LRE Design Specialist conducted a thorough inspection of her residence. The specialist confirmed that the crawl space had excess moisture, which had caused mold to damage the wooden floor joists and had negatively affected indoor air quality. To solve this issue, the specialist recommended replacing the damaged joists and encapsulating the crawl space with our CleanSpace system, specifically designed to manage moisture, regulate airflow, and prevent pests. This encapsulation process involves covering the crawl space with a waterproof liner to effectively block moisture from penetrating the wooden floor joists. Additionally, a crawl space drainage system with a sump pump and dehumidifier was installed to keep the area dry and clean. The LRE team completed the project, and Maria's crawl space was significantly improved, ensuring long-term stability for her home's foundation and air quality.
A lingering odor had permeated Adriana’s home in Saint Petersburg, Florida, leading her to suspect it might originate from the crawl space below. She asked an expert Design Specialist from LRE Foundation Repair to inspect her crawl space in hopes of finding a solution. The specialist confirmed that moisture damage had negatively affected the crawl space, resulting in the unpleasant odor and the accumulation of mold and mildew. To provide a lasting solution, the specialist recommended implementing the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System to keep the space clean and dry. With the incorporation of a waterproof liner to cover every square inch of the crawl space, along with a sump pump and dehumidifier, this comprehensive solution ensures that moisture is effectively managed, preventing damage to the structural integrity and maintaining air quality within the home. Following the installation of the CleanSpace system, Adriana was very pleased with the work done by LRE and felt relieved knowing that the unpleasant odor was eliminated and the air in her home was now clean.
Linda of Saint Petersburg, Florida, had observed an unstable section of her home's floor as she walked across it, and it appeared that the problem had worsened over time. Worried the floorboards may break through at some point, she asked LRE Foundation Repair to inspect her crawl space. An LRE Design Specialist discovered that the block piers supporting the floor joists in the crawl space showed signs of settling, thereby weakening the support for the affected section. The LRE team installed the SmartJack system in the crawl space to permanently stabilize the affected section of the home’s floor, alleviating Linda’s concerns. She can now have peace of mind, knowing that her floors are safe and secure.
