Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Jacksonville, FL needed additional structural support beneath their home. Sunshine Foundation Repair installed SmartJack support posts in the crawl space to help stabilize the floor system and address concerns related to sagging or uneven floors. These adjustable steel supports provide reinforcement to help improve the home's structural stability and support the floors above.

Stair-step cracks in buildings are typically caused by foundation settlement or shifting. This can occur due to soil movement, poor soil compaction, or changes in moisture levels. Helical piers are used to repair these cracks by being driven deep into the ground until they reach stable soil. They then transfer the weight of the building from the unstable soil to the stable soil, stabilizing the foundation and preventing further movement.

In this Jacksonville, FL home, our team installed a SmartJack support system to reinforce and stabilize the crawlspace foundation. The adjustable steel posts were strategically placed beneath the floor system to address sagging and uneven areas, providing strong, long-lasting support. By transferring the load to stable soil, this solution helps prevent further settlement, reduces floor bounce, and restores structural integrity giving the homeowner a safer and more secure home.

During this project in Jacksonville, Florida, our team installed a helical pier to provide additional structural support to the home’s foundation. Soil movement and settlement can cause areas of a foundation to shift over time, especially in regions with sandy soils and fluctuating moisture levels like those found in Northeast Florida.

To address the issue, our crew excavated down to the footing and installed a helical pier beneath the foundation. This steel pier is engineered to transfer the weight of the structure to more stable soil layers deep below the surface, helping prevent further settlement and restoring stability to the home.

Once installation is complete, the area will be backfilled and graded to blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape while maintaining long-term structural support.
