Foundation 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 severe 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.

Moisture Levels

Taking moisture readings of the wooden floor joists. This is part of our inspection process.

Crawl Space Moisture

Readings of the crawl space humidity levels. This reading will be compared with the moisture levels of the wood floor joists, readings from outside and in the 1st level of the home. This gives us an accurate picture of what is going on so that we can make the correct recommendations.

Moisture Damage

Obvious signs of moisture damage are showing. If you look at the concrete block wall, the entire bottom perimeter is soaked with water.

Cracks on Crawl Space Walls

Taking measurements where cracks are forming on the crawl space walls. This will give an accurate picture of where the sinking is happening and where the crawl space will need additional support from SmartJacks to stop any further damage and lift the structure back up.

SmartJack

The SmartJack Crawl Space Stabilizer is an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces.

Stronger Crawl Space Support

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

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.
