Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawlspace Stabilized in Fort Pierce, FL
A Fort Pierce, Florida homeowner reached out to us, at LRE Foundation Repair, concerned about his sloping floors and the damaged crawl space beneath his house. Upon arrival, our Design Specialist conducted a thorough examination, making special notes of all damaged areas, inside and outside the home. There were large cracks separating the walls from the ceiling and rotted wooden supports and joists in the crawl space. The area needed stabilization to prevent further damage and restore integrity to the home's structure. We recommended the installation of our SmartJack system - a reliable and effective solution for reinforcing crawl space supports. Once the proposal was greenlighted, our production team got down to work. The process involved carefully preparing the area, ensuring each SmartJack was precisely installed to lift and stabilize the floors above. The beauty of SmartJack lies in its design which allows it to handle enormous amounts of weight while being completely adjustable, bringing sloped floors back to level. After the installation, the homeowner could visibly see the lifted floors and now had the reassurance of having a solid foundation beneath their feet.
