Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Stabilization and Wood Framing Sealing in Stuart, Florida
Allison, a homeowner in Stuart, Florida, was preparing to list her home for sale when she noticed the floors in her living room sloping. Concerned about the structural integrity of the crawl space below, she contacted us at LRE Foundation Repair for a free inspection. Our expert Design Specialist assessed the crawl space and found that moisture damage had compromised the wooden floor joists, which also needed additional reinforcement. After discussing the findings with Allison, we proposed a solution: sealing the floor joists with our Lumberkote sealant to prevent further moisture damage and installing SmartJacks to provide permanent support in the affected area. Allison approved the plan, and our team got to work, ensuring the floor joists were sealed and stabilized. With the floors now secure and the crawl space properly reinforced, Allison can confidently list her home up for sale at its highest market value.
