This Jacksonville, FL home was showing signs of structural distress in the crawl space, including sagging floors and makeshift wooden supports that were no longer holding up to moisture and time. Our inspection revealed compromised joists and uneven load distribution putting the home's stability at risk.
We began by preparing solid concrete footings, reinforced with rebar and precision-leveled for long-term strength. Each SmartJack support post was installed with care to ensure optimal alignment and weight transfer.
A supplemental galvanized steel beam was added to restore strength across failing joists and create a secure load path. These SmartJacks are fully adjustable, corrosion-resistant, and engineered to permanently stabilize and lift floor sections as needed.
Now, this Jacksonville home is resting on a reinforced crawl space system built for durability, protection, and peace of mind.
Initial Crawl Space Inspection - Jacksonville, FL
Before any work began, we thoroughly inspected the crawl space of this Jacksonville home. The area showed clear signs of uneven flooring and aging supports. The soil was loose and moisture-exposed, putting strain on the wooden framing above. Proper reinforcement was necessary to protect the structure and restore stability.
Reinforcement Grid with Rebar Installed
After identifying ideal placement for the SmartJack system, our team prepped the ground and set a steel rebar grid. This grid adds structural strength to the concrete base pad, ensuring long-term stability for each support post. A solid foundation begins here-built to hold.
Concrete Base Pad Leveled and Set
Each SmartJack sits on a custom concrete base, and precision is key. Using leveling tools, we made sure every footing was placed at the perfect height and angle. This step ensures uniform load distribution and allows for future adjustability as needed.
SmartJack Installed with Supplemental Beam Support
With the base secure, we installed a galvanized steel SmartJack post, attaching it to a supplemental beam to lift and stabilize the sagging floor system. This high-strength system is fully adjustable and engineered to permanently reinforce weak points in the crawl space framing.
