Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Leveling Sloping Floors in a Bradenton, Florida Crawl Space
Robert, a homeowner in Bradenton, Florida, noticed that certain areas of his floors were sagging, and the issue seemed to worsen steadily over time. He reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair and we scheduled a complimentary inspection of his home’s crawl space in order to help identify any structural issues. Our expert Design Specialist visited Robert’s home and upon entering the crawl space, immediately noticed that many of the block piers supporting the home’s floor joists had settled, creating a lack of stable support.
We developed a comprehensive plan to stabilize and level the floor joists using our state-of-the-art SmartJack system, designed to provide durable and permanent support. Robert agreed to the plan, and our team set to work installing each SmartJack in key areas of the crawl space, successfully leveling and stabilizing his home’s floors. Robert can now enjoy the peace of mind in knowing that his home’s foundation is now fully secure for many more years to come.
Settling Crawl Space Piers
The inspection conduct by the LRE Design Specialist revealed that the block piers supporting the home's floor joists had settled, causing the floor joists to slope.
Wooden Floor Joist Damage
The wooden floor joists in the home's crawl space had suffered extensive damage due to a lack of stable support from the block piers beneath them.
Inadequate Support
Many of the wooden floor joists were supported by wooden piers, which had proven insufficient for providing long-lasting stability.
Installing SmartJacks
The LRE team installs the SmartJack system in key areas of the home's crawl space to level out the sloping floor joists and provide permanent and durable stabilization.
Complete Crawl Space Stabilization
The SmartJack system can span the entire length of a home's crawl space and, unlike standard block piers, is resistant to soil settlement, providing a permanent stabilization solution.
