Before & After Photos

After purchasing this 101-year-old Jacksonville home, the homeowner noticed sagging and uneven floors caused by weakened floor joists and inadequate crawl space support. Our team installed a SmartJack support system along with a supplemental steel beam to help stabilize the floor structure and provide lasting support where it was needed most. By transferring the home's weight to stronger support points, the SmartJack system helps reduce floor deflection, improve structural integrity, and protect this historic home for years to come.

The existing floor joists in this home had weakened and shifted overtime, creating bouncy and sagging floors above. We permanently stabilized this home's floors by installing SmartJacks with steel supplemental beams throughout the crawl space. These fully-adjustable steel piers immediately stop settlement and may even lift the floors above back to their original position. 

The team installed SmartJack support posts by first excavating areas in the crawl space to create stable bases for the posts. Then, they placed the SmartJacks on the prepared bases and adjusted them to provide the necessary support, stabilizing the crawl space and preventing further sinking. This solution addressed the issue of wall cracks caused by the sinking foundation.

This Jacksonville crawl space showed multiple warning signs of structural and environmental issues, including exposed soil, debris buildup, and inadequate support beneath the floor system. The lack of proper encapsulation and support can lead to excess moisture, poor air quality, and uneven or sagging floors above.

Our team addressed these concerns by reinforcing the crawl space structure with a SmartJack support system, providing reliable stabilization to the floor joists. These adjustable steel supports are designed to restore and maintain proper floor alignment over time.

By improving the structural integrity and preparing the space for better moisture control, this home is now on the path to a safer, more stable, and healthier foundation environment.

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.
