Foundation Repair Photo Album: SmartJacks and Encapsulation System Installed in Nashville, TN
This Tennessee family was experiencing some foundation issues in their home and asked us to give them a permanent solution. Our inspector came out and looked around. He noted interior and exterior cracks. Their doors also had a hard time closing correctly and the floors seemed bouncy. Under the house, he saw the wood was getting weak and slightly molding. Sometimes, the weight of the furniture and occupants become too much and the floors and walls begin to sag. That, plus the molding beams only meant the home was going to get worse. Our inspector suggested our SmartJack System to lift the home back up and the homeowners agreed that was the best solution.Our crew installed the steel adjustable SmartJack stabilizers and steel supporting beams under the home. Smart Jacks are designed to stop settling and can raise your sagging floor back to the proper level.
SmartJacks
This sturdy, yet easily adjustable galvanized steel stabilizer will not only support the weight of your family and furniture, but also lift your floors back to the original position over time.
Steel Beam
All SmartJack parts are protected against rust with a thick galvanized coating.
SmartJack Pad
SmartJack post rests on a precast concrete pad that is set on a base of compacted stone. This engineered structural system won't settle like masonry piers can; nor will it rot or shift like a wood post.
Wood Weakening
You can see how moisture is affecting the wood beams behind out steel stabilizer. Moisture in the crawl space is very bad for your home's foundation.
