Before & After Photos

This historic home in West Hillsborough, NC showed signs of structural concern in the crawl space, where existing support jacks had been identified as temporary and no longer adequate to properly support the home. The homeowner also experienced moisture issues during the summer months, raising concerns about long-term stability and crawl space conditions.

After a thorough inspection, our team recommended installing SmartJack support posts, a permanent solution designed to stabilize sagging floors and reinforce crawl space support beams. The SmartJacks were carefully positioned on solid footings and adjusted to provide reliable, long-term structural support beneath the home.

By replacing the temporary supports with engineered SmartJack systems, the crawl space is now better equipped to handle the home’s load, helping protect this older structure from further settlement and floor movement. This upgrade provides peace of mind and a strong foundation for future moisture-control improvements if needed.

To restore this homes settling foundation, our team installed our Foundation Helical Pier System. The piers are driven deep into the ground and attached to the footing of the home. Once lift and stabilization is achieved, the pier location is filled with soil. 

This Chapel Hill crawl space underwent a full transformation with the installation of helical piers and a CleanSpace vapor barrier system. The helical piers were strategically installed beneath the foundation to permanently stabilize and support the structure, addressing signs of settlement and preventing future movement. Once stabilization was complete, the crawl space was encapsulated with a CleanSpace vapor barriercreating a sealed, moisture-controlled environment. This system not only improves air quality and energy efficiency but also protects the home from mold, humidity, and structural damage.

Our team installed a SmartJack support post in this Chapel Hill, NC crawl space to stabilize and lift sagging floors. This adjustable steel support system is designed to restore structural integrity and provide long-term support to weakened floor joists.

With a secure base and precision installation, the SmartJack system helps eliminate bounce, improve floor stability, and protect the home’s foundation for years to come.

This Chapel Hill, NC crawl space was showing symptoms of concern high moisture levels, exposed dirt, and weakened floor support. The sagging insulation and damp environment were clear signs that the crawl space was not properly sealed or supported, which can lead to mold growth, poor air quality, and uneven floors inside the home.

To solve these issues, our team installed a full encapsulation system along with SmartJack support posts to stabilize the floors above. The encapsulation sealed out ground moisture with a durable vapor barrier, while the SmartJacks provided reliable, adjustable support to address sagging beams. Together, these solutions protect the crawl space from humidity, improve energy efficiency, and restore the structural integrity of the home.

Now, this Chapel Hill crawl space is clean, dry, and structurally sound providing long-term protection and peace of mind for the homeowner.
