Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair in Center Hill, FL
In Center Hill, FL, William and his wife were in the process of remodeling their home when they noticed that the floors appeared uneven in certain areas. Because their home has a crawl space, they contacted LRE Foundation Repair to conduct a thorough inspection and check for any structural issues.
We sent one of our expert Design Specialists to William's home, where they entered the crawl space to assess its condition. During the inspection, our specialist discovered that many of the original block piers had either been dismantled or had settled, leaving the home's floor joists without adequate support. As a result, several of the joists had become damaged from the weight of the home above and the lack of proper structural support below.
Our specialist developed a comprehensive repair plan that included replacing the damaged floor joists and subflooring and permanently stabilizing the floor system with our SmartJack system. William approved the plan, and our team got to work removing the damaged materials, installing new joists and subflooring, and strategically placing SmartJacks throughout the crawl space to provide lasting support.
After the extensive repairs were completed, William's crawl space support system was fully restored and permanently stabilized, bringing the floors back to a level position and allowing him and his wife to continue their remodeling project with confidence and peace of mind.
Crawl Space Inspection
An LRE Design Specialist thoroughly inspected the home's crawl space and discovered that many of the original block piers had either settled or been dismantled over time. Several makeshift supports, such as the cinder blocks shown, had been installed in an attempt to support the floor joists, but ultimately proved ineffective at providing the structural support the home needed.
Floor Joist & Subfloor Damage
Years of wear and tear, combined with the lack of stable support beneath them, had caused the floor joists to become severely damaged and in need of replacement.

The LRE team begins the crawl space repair process by replacing and repairing the subflooring and floor joists where needed.
