Crawl Space Support Posts Before & After Photos

This Columbus Mississippi crawlspace had sagging joists that were starting to cause issues inside the home. It also was holding water. As we know, crawlspaces and moisture go together like Mexican food and tight jeans and NO ONE wants that. 

Our production crew was able to come in and stabilize the joists with our SmartJack support posts. These steel posts are adjustable and can be adjusted over time as needed. This makes them an ideal choice as houses are constantly shifting through the years. This is a quick install and in many cases, homes can be restored to their original positions. 

We also encapsulated the crawlspace because so much moisture was being brought in and staying. Our team sealed off the vents, installed our CleanSpace Liner and encapsulation system. 

With the subfloor reading at a moisture level of 44.7%, this home was in desperate need of some moisture control and waterproofing. The subfloor and joists were literally wet to the touch due to the crawlspace being open to the outside elements. Another contributing factor to this moisture problem was the fiberglass insulation that was originally installed. Sadly, this product does more harm than good under the house by absorbing water like a sponge and keeping it nestled close to the wooden parts of the foundation. This always leads to mold and rot, creating problems down the road. 

Our team was able to clean out the falling insulation and debris, install a sump pump in the ground, and encapsulate and seal off the crawlspace. We also include a dehumidifier that will help maintain the dry atmosphere under the home. We left with a happy homeowner!

Facing sinking floors and a worrying joist in Mount Olive, MS, this homeowner turned to us for a dependable fix. We always recommend our SmartJack system for situations like these. It is a permanent fix to a problem like this that could cause permanent damage! With our reliable SmartJack system installed, as seen in the after photo, we've not only stabilized the structure but also restored peace of mind. Enjoy the close-up look of the jacks, we're proud of the work our crew put in to get them installed.

This concerned homeowner called because her floors were soft and sagging in places. She was also noticing some cracks in the walls of her dining room. They had tried patching them up, but it was obvious they were getting worse. The home was settling and needed to be stabilized. 

Ransom Ford performed the inspection and found our solutions would work well with her current issues. We were able to seal off the crawlspace with our encapsulation system, permanently keeping moisture and mold from coming in and making the wood soft. Then we installed smart jacks on the beams that needed the extra lift and support. We were able to raise her floors where they were sagging and permanently secure her foundation.

Here is a nice look at the underside of a crawl space in Bogue Chitto before and after one of our talented crews installed our SmartJack system. These joists are more secure than ever, and we're very happy to provide the homeowners that peace of mind!
