Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Stabilization in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Chris from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was getting ready to sell his home and needed to ensure that the floors were fully stabilized and supported by the crawl space below for potential buyers. After reaching out to us at LRE Foundation Repair, our Customer Care team quickly scheduled a free appointment with one of our Design Specialists to thoroughly inspect the home’s crawl space. Upon close examination, the specialist discovered that several of the original block piers supporting the wooden floor joists had settled into the soil below, causing the joists to sag. Our specialist created a plan to have our team install our SmartJack system in the crawl space to provide durable and permanent support for the home’s floor joists. After presenting the plan to Chris, our production team quickly began installing SmartJacks in key areas throughout the crawl space, effectively leveling and stabilizing the home’s floors. With the foundation now permanently stabilized, Chris can feel confident that the home is secure for the new homeowners.
Settling Block Piers
During the inspection by the LRE Design Specialist, it was discovered that many of the block piers supporting the floor joists had settled into the soil below, resulting in insufficient support for the joists.
Sagging Floor Joists
The floor joists in the crawl space showed significant sagging due to inadequate support from below.
Installation of SmartJack System
The LRE team installs SmartJacks in the crawl space to provide durable stabilization for the floor joists, replacing the support originally provided by the settling block piers.
Permanent Crawl Space Stabilization
The SmartJack system is made of corrosion-resistant galvanized steel and is not susceptible to soil settlement, making it a permanent solution for crawl space stabilization.
