Makeshift Crawl Space Supports
During the crawl space inspection conducted by the LRE Design Specialist, it was discovered that several makeshift supports had been previously installed as temporary measures to stabilize the home's floor joists. Unfortunately, these stopgap solutions proved to be ineffective over time, failing to provide the necessary stability for the home.
Settling Block Piers
Many of the original block piers supporting the floor joists in the crawl space had settled over time, creating a lack of stable support for the floor joists.
Sagging Floor Joists
Several areas of the crawl space were completely lacking support for the floor joists, resulting in sagging over time and further compromising the stability of the home's floors.
Installing SmartJack System
The LRE team initiates the crawl space stabilization process by first repairing the floor joists and installing the SmartJack system.
Complete Installation of SmartJack System
The LRE team has successfully completed the installation of the SmartJack system, providing the floor joists above with durable and permanent support.
Permanent Crawl Space Stabilization
The SmartJack system, installed by the LRE team, is constructed from corrosion-resistant galvanized steel, ensuring durability and resistance to soil settlement. This makes it a permanent solution for crawl space stabilization, effectively replacing the inadequate support once provided by the original block piers.
