Uneven or bouncy floors are often a sign that aging crawl space supports are no longer providing the strength your home needs. In this Jacksonville, FL home, the existing brick piers had settled over time, allowing the floor system to lose proper support.
To restore stability, our team installed a SmartJack support system with a galvanized steel supplemental beam to redistribute the home's weight and provide long-term structural support. Unlike traditional wood or aging masonry supports, SmartJacks are adjustable, allowing the floor system to be carefully lifted and stabilized.
John from Jacksonville, FL contacted Sunshine Foundation Repair because he was having problems with his crawl space. His crawl space was unsealed and had a dirt floor, which was causing issues with his home's foundation. Additionally, new concrete footings were needed in order to support his home's foundation. Sunshine Foundation Repair offered John a free estimate and explained that they could seal his crawl space and install a new concrete footing. John was happy with the solution and decided to use Sunshine Foundation Repair to fix his problem.
This troubled concrete patio was cracked and begining to sink, consequently causing the roof above to crack as well. Our crew restored and repaired this sinking concrete slab with the modern technology of PolyLevel. This process involves drilling tiny pea-sized holes into the slab and filling them with a special expansive and lightweight formula that allows for a controlled lift and leveling without adding weight to the troubled soils below.
This formerly humid and musty crawl space got a brand new look and feel with our CleanSpace encapsualtion system. Made from a 20mil thick, 7-layer polyethylene composition, our CleanSpace is the most durable vapor barrier on the market. Once installed, it seals, covers and protects the area from moisture, humidity, and winter drafts. Plus, it creates a brighter and cleaner look too!
We permanently stabilized these sinking floors by installing SmartJacks in the crawl space. These fully-adjustable steel piers immediately stopped settlement and even lifted the floors above back to their original position.
