Photo Album: Leveling Sloping Floors in St. Petersburg, Florida
Neil, a homeowner in St. Petersburg, Florida, noticed that the floors in his home were sloping, with visible gaps forming between the flooring and adjacent walls. Knowing his home had a crawl space, he suspected the support system beneath might need reinforcement. He reached out to LRE Foundation Repair and scheduled a complimentary inspection with one of our expert Design Specialists.
Upon inspecting the crawl space, our specialist found that many of the original block piers had either settled or were missing entirely. Temporary supports, such as makeshift block stacks and bottle jacks, had been previously installed but were no longer effective in providing proper support. To resolve the issue, we designed a comprehensive plan to install our SmartJack system, which offers durable, adjustable support for floor joists and can lift them back to a stable, level position.
With Neil’s approval, our team carefully installed each SmartJack in key locations throughout the crawl space. The result: a fully stabilized floor system and a restored sense of security. Neil can now enjoy peace of mind knowing his home’s foundation is permanently reinforced and the floors are properly supported.
Sloping Floors
The floors inside the home had developed a noticeable slope, with visible gaps forming between the flooring and the adjacent walls.
Settling Block Piers
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.
Makeshift Crawl Space Supports
Several makeshift supports had been added to reinforce the home's floor joists, but over time, they proved ineffective.
Installing SmartJack System
The LRE team installs the SmartJack system in the crawl space by precisely measuring and adjusting each SmartJack to ensure a proper fit and provide reliable support to the floor joists above.
Complete Crawl Space Stabilization
With the SmartJack system fully installed, the homeowner's crawl space is now properly reinforced, and the floor joists are permanently stabilized.
