Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Stabilization and Repair in West Miami, Florida
In West Miami, Florida, Joshua planned to replace the subfloors in his home after discovering that moisture in the crawl space had caused extensive damage. However, he wanted to ensure the new subfloors would be properly supported, as he had previously observed them gradually sloping and noticed several cracks forming in the walls of his home. He reached out to LRE Foundation Repair to schedule a free inspection with one of our expert Design Specialists.
During the inspection, our specialist found that many of the original block piers in the crawl space had settled into the soil, leaving the floor joists inadequately supported. To address these issues, we proposed installing our state-of-the-art SmartJack system, a durable and permanent stabilization solution designed to prevent further sloping and provide lasting support for the floor joists.
With Joshua’s approval, our team installed the SmartJacks in strategic locations throughout the crawl space, effectively stabilizing the floor joists and reinforcing the home’s foundation. Now, Joshua can move forward with confidence in replacing his subfloors, knowing that the underlying support is permanently secure.
