South Mountain Home Stabilized by SmartJack

Challenge

The first photo clearly illustrates a common and concerning problem faced by a homeowner in South Mountain: a significantly sagging crawl space with an exposed dirt floor. This issue not only compromises the structural stability of the entire home but also poses potential safety risks due to uneven floors and compromised support. The visible sagging indicated a need for immediate and effective intervention to restore the home's integrity.

Solution

Solution: To comprehensively address this challenge, our team implemented our advanced SmartJack® System. This innovative solution is specifically engineered to stabilize and effectively lift floor joists back to their original, correct elevation. The installation process involved meticulously creating a solid, stable base of engineered fill directly beneath where each steel column of the SmartJack® System would be placed. This foundational support is crucial for ensuring the long-term structural integrity of the repair and effectively reducing the noticeable floor bounce that the homeowner was experiencing. Each robust SmartJack® was then meticulously adjusted to provide precise, long-lasting support to the affected floor joists.

Results: The sagging floors would be visibly level, indicating the successful stabilization and lift provided by the SmartJack® System. This proven solution has not only restored the structural integrity of the South Mountain home but has also eliminated the safety concerns associated with sagging floors. The homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind, knowing their crawl space is robustly supported for years to come.
