Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Compromised Crawl Space Support in Macon, GA
Our team recently installed the SmartJack Support System to permanently stabilize a sagging crawl space. The SmartJack system is an innovative solution designed to address the common issue of crawl space settlement and sagging floors. It consists of adjustable steel support posts that are installed beneath the crawl space beams to provide reliable support and prevent further sinking or shifting.
The installation process involved several key steps. First, our team excavated holes for the SmartJack posts and filled them with tightly compacted crushed stone to create a stable base. Next, the steel posts were cut to the appropriate height and placed on top of the stone bases. The posts were then adjusted to lift the sagging beams and floor joists back to their original positions. Finally, the system was secured in place to ensure long-term stability.
The SmartJack Support System offers numerous benefits. It provides a permanent solution to crawl space settlement, preventing further structural damage and improving the overall stability of the home. The adjustable posts allow for fine-tuning over time, accommodating any future settling or changes in the home’s foundation. Additionally, the system is made of galvanized steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. By stabilizing the crawl space, the SmartJack system also helps to improve the performance of floors, reducing bounciness and creaking, and enhancing the overall comfort and safety of the home.
