This photo shows visible separation and unevenness in the flooring, a clear symptom of foundation or floor joist settlement beneath the home. The lifted and gapped floorboards indicate that the support structure below is shifting or sinking, which can worsen over time if left untreated. These surface signs often trace back to unstable soil or failing crawl space supports that need reinforcement to restore level flooring and prevent further interior damage.
Underneath the home, improper support systems and unevenly stacked cinder blocks reveal the cause of the floor movement seen above. These makeshift supports are unstable and unable to carry the weight of the structure, leading to floor sagging and separation inside the home. Without proper reinforcement, continued shifting and settling could worsen structural damage over time.
This photo shows excavated footing holes in the crawl space, marking the start of foundation repair. These openings are prepared for SmartJack support posts, which will be installed to replace the failing cinder block supports. Once in place, the SmartJacks will lift and stabilize the sagging floor system, correcting uneven areas inside the home and preventing future settlement.
In this stage, SmartJack support posts have been fully installed beneath the home. These galvanized steel supports provide strong, adjustable stabilization for the floor system, replacing the unstable cinder block piers. Once in place, the SmartJacks were tightened to lift and level the floors above, effectively correcting uneven areas and restoring the home's structural integrity.
