This Saint Augustine, FL home was experiencing signs of structural stress from an aging crawlspace uneven floors, musty odors, and visible deterioration beneath the home. Our team stepped in to fully stabilize and protect the area.
The original crawlspace (seen in the "before" image) had exposed soil, sagging insulation, and lacked the structural support necessary to maintain floor levelness. Using our SmartJack support system, we installed adjustable steel piers to lift and reinforce the floor joists, ensuring long-term stability.
We also encapsulated the crawlspace with a durable vapor barrier to lock out moisture, improve air quality, and prevent future wood rot or mold growth. Now, this homeowner enjoys a cleaner, sturdier foundation and peace of mind knowing their home is protected from the ground up.
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.
This St. Augustine home was experiencing water pooling in the yard, creating soggy spots and potential drainage issues. To solve the problem, we installed an exterior drainage system complete with a catch basin and underground piping to direct water away from the property. The drain was surrounded with gravel to improve water flow and prevent clogging, ensuring the yard stays drier and the home’s foundation is better protected from excess moisture.
Our team installed the TrenchDrain Surface Drainage System by first excavating a trench, then laying and securing the drain components, and finally backfilling the trench. The TrenchDrain system effectively collects and redirects surface water, preventing pooling and potential water damage, ensuring a dry and safe environment.
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.
