Before the SmartJack installation, our team conducts a thorough inspection of the crawl space to assess the extent of the problem and determine the optimal placement for the support posts. This involves checking for signs of sagging or uneven floors, identifying any weakened or damaged support beams, and evaluating the overall structural integrity of the crawl space. Based on this assessment, we develop a customized plan to address the specific needs of the home and ensure a successful installation.
weakened or inadequate support in the crawl space can lead to structural issues, including cracks in walls and floors, and can compromise the overall stability and safety of the home. The exterior cracks in this foundation was one of the symptoms of a compromised crawl space.
Before installing the SmartJack support system, our team begins by digging holes at strategic locations within the crawl space. For this project, these holes are then prepared with concrete to create a solid and stable base for the support posts. This step is crucial to ensure that the SmartJack system provides reliable and long-lasting support to stabilize the crawl space and address any structural issues, such as cracks in walls and floors, that may have been caused by weakened or inadequate support.
The SmartJack system, when combined with steel supplemental beams, provides a permanent solution for addressing weakened or inadequate support in the crawl space. These steel beams work in conjunction with the adjustable steel support posts to reinforce the structure and prevent further settlement or sagging.
