Interior Wall Cracks
The homeowner observed numerous cracks in their interior walls, including ones extending from the window frames- a common sign of foundation instability.
Ceiling Cracks
The sight of cracks in the ceiling alarmed the homeowner, prompting concerns about the structural support provided by the crawl space beneath the home.
Sloping Floor Joists
During the crawl space inspection, the LRE Design Specialist quickly identified that the home's wooden support joists were sloping due to insufficient stable support beneath them.
Settling Block Piers
Many of the original block piers in the home's crawl space had settled into the soil below, creating a lack of stable support for the floor joists above.
Installation of SmartJack Base
The LRE team starts the SmartJack system installation by excavating footers for each SmartJack and filling them with a solid base designed to resist soil settlement.
Complete SmartJack Installation
The LRE team successfully installs each SmartJack in the crawl space, carefully adjusting them to the correct size to properly fit and stabilize the floor joists.
Permanent Crawl Space Stabilization
The SmartJack system is made from corrosion-resistant galvanized steel and can extend the full length of a crawl space, providing permanent stabilization across the entire home.
