Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair and Moisture Protection in Jacksonville, FL
This Jacksonville, FL home had an unprotected dirt crawl space with aging supports and conditions that could allow ground moisture to affect the space beneath the home. Our team completed a comprehensive crawl space repair that included new support jacks, a vapor barrier, a sump pump system, and drainage improvements. The finished system helps control groundwater and moisture while providing additional support beneath the floor system, creating a cleaner, drier, and more stable crawl space.
Crawl Space Conditions Before Repairs
Before repairs began, the crawl space had an exposed dirt floor and uneven support beneath the floor system. The existing supports showed why this Jacksonville, FL home needed a more reliable solution to stabilize the structure.
SmartJack Installation for Added Floor Support
Next, our team installed SmartJack supports beneath the floor system to provide stronger, more reliable support. The adjustable jacks help stabilize the beams above and address areas where the existing crawl space supports were inadequate.
Next, our team installed drainage matting beneath the vapor barrier to help channel water toward the sump pump. Together, these components help manage groundwater and prevent moisture from rising through the crawl space floor.
Vapor Barrier Seals the Crawl Space
To complete the crawl space protection, our team installed a durable vapor barrier across the dirt floor and sealed it around the support piers. This creates a barrier between the home and ground moisture, helping keep the crawl space cleaner and drier.
Discharge Line Installed Away from the Crawl Space
Finally, our team installed the discharge line to carry water collected by the sump pump safely away from the home. The line leads to a lawn outlet, allowing water to discharge away from the foundation and helping complete the crawl space waterproofing system.
