Before & After Photos

This Sunset Beach, NC home was experiencing sagging floors in the kitchen of the home. Southeast Foundation and Crawl Space Repair was able to help this homeowner by installing the SmartJack Stabilization System. By installing the SmartJack System we were able to stabilize the floors of the home by taking the load on the sunken piers. The homeowner is thrilled with the work that Southeast Foundation and Crawl Space Repair did to protect his home.

Homeowners in Sunset Beach, NC, were facing a common dilemma—sloping floors above their crawl space, signaling underlying issues that couldn't be ignored. As you can see in the before photo, the initial crawl space condition contributed directly to their problem. Acknowledging the need for a steadfast and lasting solution, they turned to us, Southeast Foundation and Crawl Space Repair. By installing SmartJack, as illustrated in the after photo, we effectively stabilized the flooring, restoring peace of mind and the structural integrity of their home. Through this transformation, we demonstrated once again our commitment to remarkable customer experiences and durable results.

The floor joists in this crawl space were failing because of high moisture levels and an unprotected crawl space. Additionally, cinderblocks were used as floor joist supports and shifted. To solve this problem, we encapsulated the space with a CleanSpace vapor barrier and used a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to remove moisture. As a permanent stabilization measure, we installed a steel supplemental beam along the weakened floor joists. SmartJack Support Posts were bolted to the steel beam and secured to the crawl space floor for adequate support.   

Our Foundation Helical Pier System was installed to lift and stabilize this customers sinking foundation. 

As a result of damage to the crawl space supports, the floor above began to sag. The floor above was stabilized and leveled by installing a steel supplemental beam and SmartJack support posts. The steel beam was placed in the crawl space and was bolted to the existing floor joists to help support them. The SmartJack support posts were then attached to the steel beam and adjusted to stabilize and level the floor above.
