Sagging Floor Joists
During the crawl space inspection, many of the wooden floor joists were found to be sagging due to inadequate support from below. Temporary fixes, including stacked cinder blocks, had previously been used in an attempt to provide supplemental support.
Insufficient Crawl Space Support
The crawl space did not have adequate support for the home's floor joists, and earlier stopgap measures had been used in an effort to stabilize the floors.
Interior Wall Cracks
Small cracks had appeared within the walls of the home as a clear indication of foundation settlement issues.
Installing SmartJack Base
The LRE team begins the SmartJack installation by excavating and preparing footings for each SmartJack, then filling them with a solid, settlement-resistant base to ensure permanent stability.
Installing SmartJacks
Once the footings are in place, the LRE team carefully measures and adjusts each SmartJack to ensure a precise fit within the crawl space and provide proper support for the floor joists.
Complete SmartJack Installation
The SmartJack system has been completely installed by the LRE team, and the homeowner's crawl space is now permanently stabilized.
Complete Crawl Space Stabilization
Constructed from corrosion-resistant galvanized steel and designed to never settle, the SmartJack system spans the crawl space to provide permanent, long-lasting support.
