Humid Crawl Space
The crawl space of the home exhibited high humidity levels, leading to significant damage. Moist air had saturated the insulation, causing it to sag and detach from the floor joists. The wood floor joists displayed signs of distress, with a concerning increase in moisture content weakening their structural integrity.
Weak Floor Joist
Over time, the excessive moisture content in the wood has caused it to lose its strength, resulting in noticeable sagging of the flooring above. This deterioration highlights the importance of addressing moisture issues to maintain a safe and stable home environment.
Breaking Wood
Wood saturated with moisture becomes increasingly fragile and prone to breaking apart. This image illustrates the degradation process, emphasizing the need for timely intervention to prevent further damage.
Water Damage
This photo shows the impact of water damage on the insulation, wooden structures, and crawl space walls. This evidence underscores the importance of addressing moisture issues to protect the home's integrity.
SmartJack Base Installed
As the installation of the SmartJack system begins, a small hole is excavated to prepare for the placement of the 12-inch steel base. This hole is then filled with a specialized engineered fill designed to tackle problematic soil conditions, setting the stage for adequate stabilization.
SmartJacks Installed
The installation process continues as our team meticulously measures, cuts, and assembles the steel columns with top brackets. These are securely attached to a supplemental beam, then tightened and lifted into position. This robust system is supported by a 25-year warranty alongside a service warranty, ensuring long-term peace of mind for the homeowner. We recommend further encapsulation to safeguard the home against moisture-related issues and enhance its overall durability.
