Ground moisture can weaken the soil beneath a home's foundation, leading to uneven settling or sagging floors. This occurs as the soil shifts or compresses under the weight of the structure. To address this issue, we installed SmartJack support posts, which stabilize and level the floor by providing additional support and preventing further sagging.
Crawl Space Structural Stabilization | Jacksonville, FL
This Jacksonville, FL property showed severe structural concerns beneath the home, including weakened wooden beams, sagging floors, and deteriorating support piers. Over time, shifting soil and moisture exposure had compromised the crawl space’s integrity, putting strain on the floor system above. To correct this, our team installed SmartJack Support Posts and a steel supplemental beam to permanently stabilize the foundation. These high-strength, adjustable supports lift and reinforce the structure, restoring level floors and providing long-term stability against future settlement.
The existing floor joists in this home had weakened and shifted overtime, creating bouncy and sagging floors above. We permanently stabilized this home's floors by installing SmartJacks with steel supplemental beams throughout the crawl space. These fully-adjustable steel piers immediately stop settlement and may even lift the floors above back to their original position.
