Supporting a Sagging Crawlspace in Ringgold, GA

Challenge

Settlement and moisture are common problems for below-grade spaces. This Ringgold, GA crawlspace was undergoing serious settlement, leading to sagging floors, stuck doors and windows, and overburdened beams. Moisture, too, will eat away at weight-supporting beams and joists. If this damage is allowed to continue, it leads to exorbitant repair costs... as well as disruptive and drawn-out repair work. 

Solution

Our SmartJack system is designed to provide immediate, durable support for sagging and undersized beams in crawlspaces. These jacks are adjustable, meaning that they can be tightened according to future structural needs. The system can be installed at any time of the year and usually can be finished within one day. 

The SmartJacks are installed at strategic points in the crawlspace. A stable footing, which will never shift or settle, is installed for each jack. The jacks are cut to length, then mounted against the footing. Next, the jack is tightened to lift the floor back to its original position. 

This homeowner can rest easy knowing that their crawlspace (and the rest of their home) has long-lasting, dependable support!
