Using SmartJack stabilizing posts, we corrected the sagging and sloping floors above the crawl space. The areas that needed additional support were reinforced with steel supplemental beams. This allowed us to level the floors and distribute the load evenly, ensuring the stability and longevity of the structure.
Whenever there's moisture in the air, wooden beams and joists can warp, swell, or rot. As these structural elements weaken, the floors sag or flex. This homeowner was experiencing sagging floors above their crawl space for high moisture levels in the crawl space. The wooden beams and joists were rotting. This caused the floor to sag by not having adequate support. We installed our SmartJack Support Posts to lift, level, and stabilize the floors. We also recommended that the homeowner encapsulate their crawl space to prevent moisture from intruding and causing a much bigger issue!
Water damaged floor joists caused this customers floor to sink and sag. We installed our SmartJack Support System to permanently lift and stabilize the floor above back to level.
Tim called Southeast Foundation and Crawl Space Repair to do an CleanSpace Encapsulation System on this new home build in Ocean Isle Beach.
Betty contacted Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair after having a termite inspection done. The termite inspector informed Betty that due to the high content of moisture in the crawl space she had the beginning signs to wood rot. They offered to install a vapor barrier cheaply, however, Betty wanted someone with more experience to look at the crawl space. Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair inspector Maurice met with Betty to look over the crawl space and find the issues that she was concerned about. Maurice found that the home did have quite a bit of wood rot and the best solution would be to installing the Smart Jack System along with the supporting beams to put divert the weight of the home from the rotted beams and onto the Smart Jack and Steel Beams. Along with installing the Smart Jack System to prevent any further problems in the future, the best solution would be to encapsulation with crawl space with the CleanSpace Encapsulation System that stops moisture from entering the crawl space that causes such things as wood rot. Betty is thrilled with the results that Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair was able to provide to fix her home.
