Our team installed SmartJack support posts to level a sagging floor by first assessing the affected area to determine the extent of the sagging and identifying the underlying cause. Next, we excavated and prepared stable bases for the SmartJacks, ensuring proper load distribution. The SmartJacks were then installed and adjusted to provide the necessary support, gradually lifting the floor to its original level. Finally, we secured the system and verified its stability to ensure long-term effectiveness.
SmartJack support posts were installed in the customer's crawl space to address structural issues that caused wall cracks and separation. These posts provide additional support to stabilize the foundation, prevent further damage, and correct any sagging or uneven floors.
We permanently stabilized this home's sagging floors and sticking doors by installing SmartJacks with steel supplemental beams throughout the crawl space.
The floor joists and beams in this crawl space weren't effectively supporting the floor above. To address these issues, we installed our SmartJack System. SmartJack permanently stabilizes existing beams and floor joists to address issues like uneven and sloping floors, weakened or undersized support beams. These issues are often due to moisture damage or settling soil.
This Saint Augustine home was showing clear signs of foundation settlement horizontal and stair-step cracks running along the stucco siding and chimney, combined with visible discoloration at the base of the wall due to moisture accumulation. The symptoms suggested long-term structural shifting likely caused by unstable soil conditions.
To solve the issue, we installed helical piers at critical points along the foundation to permanently stabilize and lift the structure. The second image shows one of the helical piers anchored deep beneath the home, reaching load-bearing strata to provide long-term support. This method not only prevents further settling but also protects the home's structural integrity and value. Another successful save by the Sunshine Foundation team!
