Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Stabilization in Orlando, Florida
Ed from Orlando, Florida, planned to convert his porch into a kitchen and wanted to ensure the crawl space beneath could handle the added weight. He reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair and we scheduled a free inspection with one of our Design Specialists. Upon entering the crawl space, our specialists identified areas where the wooden support joists could benefit from additional reinforcement. We proposed installing SmartJacks to provide durable, permanent support. Ed approved the plan, and our team carefully installed each SmartJack, ensuring the floors were reinforced and secure. With the foundation stabilized Ed can confidently move forward with his porch’s conversion.
Crawl Space Before SmartJack Installation
Upon inspecting the crawl space, the LRE Design Specialist identified key areas in the homeowner's crawl space that could use greater reinforcement.
SmartJack Footers
The LRE team carefully excavates soil and installs footers for each SmartJack. These footers provide a stable base, ensuring the SmartJacks remain securely in place and do not settle into the soil over time.
Installing SmartJacks
Once the footers are in place, the LRE team installs and adjusts each SmartJack to fit in position properly to support the floor joists above.
