We tied the exterior French drain system and buried downspouts into a TripleSafe sump pump by directing the drainage pipes into the sump pit. The TripleSafe sump pump, equipped with three pumps for reliability, efficiently handles the incoming water, preventing basement flooding. The primary pump manages normal water flow, the secondary pump activates during heavy water volume or primary pump failure, and the battery-backup pump ensures operation during power outages. This setup ensures comprehensive water management and protection against flooding.
This Jacksonville crawl space was showing clear signs of trouble moisture intrusion, wood fungus growth, and floor sagging beneath the kitchen. Our team addressed the root of the problem by trenching and installing a drainage system designed to redirect water and reduce excess humidity. This solution helps protect the home’s structure, prevent further wood damage, and set the stage for long-term stability.
This troubled crawl space was rotten and cracked, causing the existing support columns to lose their strength and stability. The foundational failure was visible via the interior wall cracks and sagging floors - issues that no one wants to deal with! Our crew was able to permanently stabilize this home's foundation with the top-quality SmartJack system. These high-capacity steel piers are the only floor stabilizing solution that addresses the root cause of these foundational issues, weak soils! This system provides instant and permanent stabilization and can even lift the floors back to their original position.
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.
