Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Reinforcing Crawl Space Support in Saint Petersburg, Florida
Ray had just recently purchased his new home in Saint Petersburg, Florida, and had noticed that the floors had felt unstable in some areas inside of the house. He asked LRE Foundation Repair for assistance, and we sent one of our expert Design Specialists to conduct a thorough inspection of the crawl space below. Upon close examination, our specialist found that the block piers supporting the home’s wooden floor joists in the crawl space had settled into the soil below, causing the joists to slope. After notifying Ray of the issue, a plan was created to have our team install SmartJacks in the crawl space to reinforce the support for the floor joists and fully level and stabilize the floors. Each SmartJack was carefully installed by our team and customized to properly fit in the crawl space to ensure adequate support for the floor joists. With his floors now fully leveled and stabilized, Ray can enjoy the sense of assurance that the support from his crawl space below is now permanently stabilized.
