Water damaged floor joists caused this customers floor to sink and sag. We installed our SmartJack Support System to permanently lift and stabilize the floor above back to level.
Whenever there's moisture in the air, wooden beams and joists can warp, swell, or rot. As these structural elements weaken, the floors sag or flex. This homeowner was experiencing sagging floors above their crawl space for high moisture levels in the crawl space. The wooden beams and joists were rotting. This caused the floor to sag by not having adequate support. We installed our SmartJack Support Posts to lift, level, and stabilize the floors. We also recommended that the homeowner encapsulate their crawl space to prevent moisture from intruding and causing a much bigger issue!
Using SmartJack stabilizing posts, we corrected the sagging and sloping floors above the crawl space. The areas that needed additional support were reinforced with steel supplemental beams. This allowed us to level the floors and distribute the load evenly, ensuring the stability and longevity of the structure.
A homeowner in Mount Olive, NC, faced sagging floors that made their home feel unstable. After calling us for help, we installed the SmartJack system to address the issue. The SmartJack system uses steel support posts and a sturdy base to lift and stabilize sagging floors, restoring structural integrity and ensuring long-term stability.
Piers can solve settlement problems by transferring a structure's weight to strong, competent supporting soils at greater depth. Piers can effectively stabilize a settling structure and can even provide jacking points to lift the structure upwards to its original, level position.
