High humidity in a crawl space can lead to structural damage by increasing moisture levels in the air, which condenses on cooler surfaces like floor joists. This moisture promotes wood rot, mold growth, and attracts pests, all of which weaken the joists and compromise the home's structural integrity.
The customer noticed cracks forming in their concrete patio and reached out for an inspection. What initially seemed like surface damage turned out to be a sign of something more serious—foundation settlement. Our team identified the root cause of the cracks as foundation settlement and installed helical piers to stabilize and lift the foundation. The patio was restored, and the home’s structural integrity was secured.
The floors of this home were sunken and extremely unlevel due to the broken floor joist below the home. We permanently stabilized this home's foundation by installing SmartJacks with steel supplemental beams throughout the crawl space. These fully adjustable steel piers immediately stopped settlement and were even able to lift the floors above back to their original position.
To stabilize and lift this homeowners sinking foundation, we installed our foundation pier system. The pier system works by transferring the weight of the structure from unstable soil to stable bedrock or load-bearing strata below. Steel piers are driven deep into the ground until they reach stable soil, then the foundation is lifted and stabilized, preventing further sinking or settling.
Our crew permanently stabilized this home's sagging floors with the SmartJack system. These fully-adjustable steel piers were installed in the crawl space to instantly and permanently stop settlement in its tracks and even lift the floors above back to their original position!
