In this historic log cabin, years of settling had caused significant sagging in the crawl space. The log joists were bowing under the weight, and the original rock and concrete foundation walls were bearing too much pressure. An attempt to stabilize the area with a jack from another company had failed--it wasnt lifting correctly, leaving the floor uneven and the foundation under strain.
With our SmartJacks system expertly installed, the sagging floor has been lifted and properly stabilized. The new system effectively supports the log joists, taking the pressure off the foundation walls and restoring structural integrity. Now, this cabin stands on a much stronger foundation, ensuring long-term stability and peace of mind for the homeowner.
This homeowner was dealing with sagging floors that caused cracks to appear where their interior walls met the ceiling. Our team stepped in with a full crawl space encapsulation, also installing SmartJacks to lift and stabilize the floor system, and encapsulating the space to control moisture and improve air quality. Now, the crawl space is clean, dry, and structurally sound, helping protect the entire home from the ground up.
This Big Stone Gap home was showing signs of a weakened crawl space support system. The existing floor framing needed additional reinforcement, and old fiberglass insulation had begun falling away from the floor joists. Not only can deteriorating insulation become ineffective over time, but it can also contribute to a messy crawl space environment and make it more difficult to inspect the home's structural components.
Our team strengthened the crawl space by installing supplemental steel beams and SmartJack® support posts to provide reliable, long-term support beneath the home's floor system. We also removed the old, failing insulation, leaving the crawl space cleaner and allowing the homeowner to move forward with a stronger, more accessible foundation. With the floor system properly reinforced, the home now has a dependable structural support solution designed to perform for years to come.
This crawl space in Kingsport, Tennessee was in rough shape... Musty, falling insulation, standing water, and sagging floors were just the start. The moisture was affecting air quality, and the floor above was beginning to settle under the weight of a heavy brick hearth.
Our team stepped in and tackled the problem from the ground up. We removed all debris and damp insulation, installed a vapor barrier to lock out moisture, and added SmartJacks to lift and stabilize the sagging floor system. The result is a clean, dry, and structurally sound crawl space that's now supporting the home above it with absolute confidence.
This crawl space in Bristol Tennessee was suffering from falling insulation, exposed soil, and high humidity. This was creating the perfect environment for mold, odors, and structural issues. Our team stepped in and installed a durable vapor barrier system to fully encapsulate the space. This upgrade helps keep moisture out, improves energy efficiency, and protects the home for years to come.
