Case Study: Crawl Space Structural Repair with SmartJacks in Farner, TN
Challenge
A homeowner in Farner, TN began noticing signs of structural instability in their crawl space, including sagging floors and inadequate support beneath the home. The existing support system was no longer able to properly carry the load of the structure, which can lead to uneven floors, interior cracking, and long-term damage if left unaddressed. With a block foundation and a single-story structure, restoring proper support in the crawl space was critical to maintaining the integrity of the home.
Solution
To permanently stabilize the home, the Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair team installed a system of SmartJack® support posts paired with a 3-inch steel supplemental I-beam spanning 43 feet. The SmartJack® system is specifically designed to address failing crawl space supports by transferring the weight of the home to stable soil below, while allowing for precise adjustments to lift and level the floors above. The addition of the steel beam helps evenly distribute the structural load across multiple support points, reinforcing the floor system and preventing future sagging. Together, these solutions provide a durable, long-term fix that restores stability, improves floor performance, and protects the home from ongoing structural movement.
