Foundation Repair Photo Album: SmartJack Stabilizers in Shelbyville, TN

A home in Shelbyville, TN was experiencing sagging floors and musty odors emanating from its crawl space. Upon inspection, our expert identified common signs of foundation issues, including unlevel floors, cracks in the walls, and floors that were cracking due to shifting. Inside the crawl space, excess moisture was found, creating an unhealthy environment and damaging the wood structure. To address these moisture issues and improve the health of the crawl space, we installed our CleanSpace Liner, 20 mil thick, over drainage matting, which effectively reduces moisture and humidity by completely sealing the space from the ground. Additionally, we set up a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to further control humidity levels. For the foundation issues, we installed steel beams that provide robust support and are resistant to rot and mold. To lift and stabilize the sagging floors back to their original position, SmartJack Stabilizers made from galvanized steel were used. These comprehensive solutions ensured a stable foundation and a healthier crawl space environment for the home.
