Original Crawl Space Block Piers
The original block piers supporting the floor joists in the crawl space had clearly settled into the ground, causing instability in the floors above.
Shifting Foundation Support
As the block piers settle deeper into the ground, the support for the floor joists above diminishes, causing the floors above to become unstable.
Temporary Solutions
A common temporary fix for floor instability is to place wooden blocks between the piers and the floor joists. However, these quick-fix solutions will inevitably fail over time.
SmartJack System for Foundation Stabilization
The LRE team has successfully installed the SmartJack System in the home's crawl space, providing the floor joists with enhanced and permanent stability.
A Permanent Solution
The SmartJacks installed by LRE are crafted with corrosion-resistant galvanized steel and are not susceptible to soil settlement, making them a permanent solution for stabilizing sagging floors.
