Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: SmartJack Installation in Old Hickory, TN

This customer in Old Hickory, TN had failing crawlspace supports, causing cracks in the interior wall and sagging floors. The wood of the floor joist is beginning to show signs of damage due to failing crawl space supports. As these supports start to give way, the floors above can sag and interior walls may crack, resulting in expensive problems in your home. We installed Smart Jacks throughout the crawlspace to provide permanent structural support and lift the structure back up.

Measuring Sloping Floors

This customer was worried about their sloping floors. During our inspection, we checked the measurements by hand on the home's first floor.

Laser Level

After we take hand measurements, we use a laser level in the home to make sure our readings are accurate to see exactly where the floor is sloping.

Moisture Damage

During the inspection, we check the crawl space and see visible moisture and water damage. Water is seeping through the concrete block and pooling on the vapor barrier.

Floor Joists

In the crawl space, a laser level is used to see where the floor joists are failing and sagging. This will help us determine exactly where supports are needed to lift the structure. You can see in this photo the obvious slope in the beams.

Cracks in Flooring

Cracks are visible in the beams of the flooring in the crawl space. This structural issue will only get worse if not corrected. Due to the moisture issues in the crawl space, it can be determined that water has caused soil dispersion which causes the crawl space supports to sink and fail.

More Cracking in the Floor

These beams are cracking and starting to break and split. This issue needs to be addressed as soon as possible to prevent further, serious damage.

SmartJack Floor Plate

Our crawl space support system can support vertical loads exceeding 60,000 pounds, which is far stronger than conventional concrete repairs.

Versatile Installation

The SmartJack 's portable size allows it to be installed in even the tightest of crawl spaces.

Superior Support

Our support jacks do more than merely halt the downward movement of your floor. The SmartJack may also be adjusted to try to lift the floor above to its original position.

SmartJack Installation Complete

The SmartJack Crawl Space Stabilizer is an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces. It not only provides supplemental support to your failing structure -- it can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position.
