This Saint Augustine home was showing clear signs of foundation settlement horizontal and stair-step cracks running along the stucco siding and chimney, combined with visible discoloration at the base of the wall due to moisture accumulation. The symptoms suggested long-term structural shifting likely caused by unstable soil conditions.
To solve the issue, we installed helical piers at critical points along the foundation to permanently stabilize and lift the structure. The second image shows one of the helical piers anchored deep beneath the home, reaching load-bearing strata to provide long-term support. This method not only prevents further settling but also protects the home's structural integrity and value. Another successful save by the Sunshine Foundation team!
The SmartJack support system was installed in the crawl space to address structural issues caused by moisture damage to the floor joists and beams. Moisture can weaken wooden structural components, leading to sagging floors, instability, and potential safety hazards. The SmartJack system provides reinforced support to stabilize and level the floor above, preventing further damage and keeping the home safe.
The SmartJackSupport system helped lift and level the customer’s crawl space by providing targeted support to stabilize and raise the sagging areas. It corrected uneven floors and reinforced the structure, ensuring improved stability and preventing further settling or structural damage.
