Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair and Stabilization in Lake Wales, Florida
Jacob's home in Lake Wales, Florida, experienced extensive termite damage, leading to significant deterioration of the wooden support structure in the home's crawl space. Upon noticing instability in the floors inside his home, Jacob requested LRE Foundation Repair to inspect the crawl space and provide assistance in stabilizing the house. One of our expert Design Specialists conducted a thorough home inspection and discovered that not only had the wooden floor joists in the crawl space suffered extensive damage, but the original block piers had also deteriorated and settled into the soil below. Our production team repaired the floor joists and installed our state-of-the-art SmartJack system to ensure durable and permanent stability for the floor joists. Jacob's crawl space is now fully restored, with the floors leveled completely, giving him peace of mind that his home’s foundation is secure and stabilized.
Deterioration of Wooden Floor Joists

Settling Block Piers

The footings for each SmartJack are excavated to the correct depths and filled with a solid base to support the SmartJacks. This solid footing ensures that the SmartJack system is resilient against soil settlement, unlike standard block piers.
