We permanently stabilized and leveled these sagging floors by installing SmartJacks with steel supplemental beams throughout the crawl space. These fully-adjustable steel piers immediately stop settlement in its tracks and lift the floors above back to their original position.
In this Jacksonville home, uneven pavers and small gaps along the base of the wall revealed that the foundation was beginning to settle. To protect the home from further shifting, we carefully lifted and removed the pavers, then excavated the area to reach the footing. A durable helical pier was installed to anchor the foundation deep into stable soil, providing long-term support and peace of mind. Once secured, we backfilled the area and reset the pavers, leaving the space looking just as good as it is strong.
High moisture levels in this crawl space damaged the floor joists. This led to the floor above to become uneven. We provided a permanent solution by installing our SmartJack Support System. This system provides reliable structural support, prevents further settlement, and will restore the integrity of the foundation.
The SmartJack system is designed to address structural issues in crawl spaces. It includes steel support posts that are installed beneath the crawl space beams to provide stability and correct sagging floors. These posts are adjustable, allowing for precise leveling and ongoing support. The system is typically used in homes where the crawl space has been weakened by moisture, soil shifts, or inadequate support.
Ground moisture can weaken the soil beneath a home's foundation, leading to uneven settling or sagging floors. This occurs as the soil shifts or compresses under the weight of the structure. To address this issue, we installed SmartJack support posts, which stabilize and level the floor by providing additional support and preventing further sagging.
