Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Reinforcing and Stabilizing Crawl Space Support in Tampa, Florida
A homeowner in Tampa, Florida, was working with a contractor to repair their home after damage caused by recent hurricanes. During the process, they noticed that certain areas of the floors felt unstable underfoot, raising concerns about potential structural issues in the crawl space below.
The contractor contacted us at LRE Foundation Repair to request an inspection of the crawl space and to discuss possible repair solutions. Our Design Specialist arrived at the home and quickly identified that many of the original block piers had settled and deteriorated, leading to a lack of stability for the floor joists. Our specialist developed a plan to provide permanent, reliable support for the floor joists using our advanced SmartJack system.
Once the homeowner approved the plan, our team carefully installed each SmartJack in the crawl space, effectively leveling and stabilizing the floor joists. With the crawl space support now fully reinforced, the homeowner was able to move forward with the remaining repairs, confident that their foundation was secure.
Crawl Space Inspection
The crawl space inspection conducted by the LRE Design Specialist revealed insufficient support for the home's floor joists, causing them to slope.
Settling Block Piers
Many of the original block piers in the home's crawl space had settled and deteriorated, creating instability for the home's floors.
Installing SmartJack Footers
The LRE team digs the footers for each SmartJack to the appropriate depth and fills them with a solid base that is resistant to soil settlement.
Installing SmartJack System
Once the footers are installed, the LRE team positions each SmartJack and adjusts them to ensure a proper fit in the crawl space.
Complete Crawl Space Stabilization
Following the complete installation of the SmartJack system, the homeowner's crawl space is now permanently stabilized.
