Crawl Space Before SmartJack Installation
The crawl space's original state revealed a lack of sufficient support for the floor joists above, resulting in sloping and unstable floors inside the home.
Termite Damage
Many of the wooden floor joists in the crawl space had deteriorated due to significant termite damage.
Concrete Block Piers
A common feature found in many older homes with crawl spaces is the use of concrete blocks as supports for the floor joists. However, these blocks tend to break and settle over time, leading the floors above to sag and possibly fall through.
SmartJack System
The LRE team has installed the SmartJack system in the crawl space to provide effective and permanent support to the home's foundation.
A Permanent Solution
Constructed from galvanized steel, the SmartJacks are corrosion-resistant and are placed on a gravel base that is resistant to settlement.
