The customer contacted our office when looking for a professional to help them with their sagging floor. We recommended our SmartJack® system, which stabilizes and lifts floors by installing steel support jacks in the crawl space. The system works by transferring the weight of the floor to the jacks, which are adjustable and can be tightened to provide the necessary support, effectively addressing the issue of sagging floors.
The Cleanspace Vapor Barrier System prevents ground moisture from seeping up and damaging the floor joists by creating an impermeable layer between the ground and the floor. This barrier blocks moisture, preventing it from rising and causing damage.
Our team encapsulated this homeowner's damp and musty crawl space using our CleanSpace vapor barrier by thoroughly cleaning and preparing the area, then installing the durable, moisture-resistant liner across the floor and walls. This process effectively seals out moisture, prevents mold growth, and improves overall air quality.
Our team installed an French Drainage System on the exterior of this customers home to permanently stop water from seeping into their home. Instead, the system will capture the water and divert it away from the foundation completely. Once the system is installed, the crew backfills the trench to ensure a clean, level finish.
In the before photo, this Jacksonville, FL crawl space was showing classic signs of structural stress sagging floors, fallen insulation, debris buildup, and signs of moisture intrusion. These issues not only threatened the stability of the home but also created a potential for further damage if left untreated.
To resolve the issue, we installed the SmartJack Crawl Space Support System, as seen in the after photo. This galvanized steel solution is engineered to permanently stabilize and lift failing floor joists and beams. The adjustable SmartJacks provide immediate support while allowing for future tightening, delivering a reliable and long-lasting fix to sagging floor problems.
