SmartJack System
SmartJack posts are installed by first excavating small holes in the crawl space floor, then placing a pre-cast concrete base at the bottom of each hole. The steel posts are then positioned on these bases and adjusted to provide the necessary support and lift to the sagging floors above.
Moisture Damaged Floor Joists
Moisture in a crawl space can cause floors to sag by weakening the wooden structures, such as floor joists and beams, through prolonged exposure. This can lead to wood rot, mold growth, and a loss of structural integrity, resulting in the floors above becoming uneven and sagging.
Support Beam
Steel supplemental beams are used with the SmartJack system to provide additional support and distribute the load more evenly across the crawl space. This combination enhances the structural integrity of the floor above, ensuring a more stable and level surface while effectively addressing sagging caused by weakened or damaged wooden structures.
Why Use SmartJacks
Using the SmartJack system versus store-bought supports is preferable because SmartJacks are professionally designed and installed to provide customized, reliable support. They address specific issues in your crawl space, ensuring long-term stability and preventing further sagging, whereas store-bought options do not offer the same level of effectiveness or durability for the long-haul.
