Photo Album: Old Home & Uneven Floors: A SmartJack Support System Repair in Jacksonville, FL
The SmartJack Crawl Space Support System helped stabilize a customer's sagging floor issue in a 1928 home by providing a permanent solution to address uneven and worsening floors. After a thorough inspection, the SmartJack® system was installed to stabilize and level the floors above the crawl space. The adjustable nature of the system allowed for potential future modifications, and its galvanized steel construction ensured durability and resistance to corrosion. The installation, which was completed with minimal disruption within a day, significantly improved the overall stability and safety of the home by preventing further settling or sinking of the crawl space supports.

Additional Support
Steel supplemental beams are used with the SmartJack system to provide additional support and stability to the structure. They help distribute the load more evenly, ensuring the system can effectively support the weight of the house and prevent any sagging or shifting.
Before Stabilization
Moisture weakened the floor joists in the customer's crawl space by promoting wood rot, mold growth, and insect infestation. This compromised the structural integrity of the joists, causing them to sag and become less effective in supporting the floor above.
Sufficient Stabilization
Our team didn't need to use a beam because the floor joists and beam were already adequately supporting the load in this location in the crawl space and the SmartJack system alone can provide sufficient stabilization without additional reinforcement.
