Foundation Repair Photo Album: SmartJack Stabilizers Installed in Spring Hill, TN
The homeowners noticed that their living space had started to change. Their floors were uneven and cracks were appearing on their walls. They were worried about the value and health of their home, so they called Frontier to figure out a solution! Our inspector went inside their crawl space and looked around. He took a few reference photos to show the homeowners exactly what he was talking about, so they could understand better how we could fix it! The unproperly unsealed crawl space was letting moisture from the soil ground evaporate into the air. This was causing the wood that was supporting their home to begin to mold. Our inspector knew exactly what they needed to fix their foundation issue! He told them all about our SmartJack stabilizers and how they could lift floors back to their original position. The homeowners loved our SmartJack system and couldn't wait to have them installed! They now have a supported floor and don't have to worry about any more foundation cracks on their walls!
Excessive Moisture
It is important to keep your crawl space healthy, because not only do pests LOVE messy crawl space's, but 50% of the air you breathe upstairs comes from your crawl space. This also means the excessive moisture from your crawl space that is causing your wood beams to mold is the reason for musty odors in your home!
Faulty Insulation
The popular pink and yellow insulation does not help your crawl space when your space has a moisture issue, instead it can actually cause harm to your wood beams. Over time this material will soak up the moisture and it sits RIGHT next to your wood beams. This causes your beams to mold even faster.
SmartJack
SmartJack support posts will straighten and strengthen bouncy, sagging floors above a crawl space.
SmartJacks
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.
