Whenever there's moisture in the air, wooden beams and joists can warp, swell, or rot. As these structural elements weaken, the floors sag or flex. This homeowner was experiencing sagging floors above their crawl space for high moisture levels in the crawl space. The wooden beams and joists were rotting. This caused the floor to sag by not having adequate support. We installed our SmartJack Support Posts to lift, level, and stabilize the floors. We also recommended that the homeowner encapsulate their crawl space to prevent moisture from intruding and causing a much bigger issue!
Betty contacted Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair after having a termite inspection done. The termite inspector informed Betty that due to the high content of moisture in the crawl space she had the beginning signs to wood rot. They offered to install a vapor barrier cheaply, however, Betty wanted someone with more experience to look at the crawl space. Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair inspector Maurice met with Betty to look over the crawl space and find the issues that she was concerned about. Maurice found that the home did have quite a bit of wood rot and the best solution would be to installing the Smart Jack System along with the supporting beams to put divert the weight of the home from the rotted beams and onto the Smart Jack and Steel Beams. Along with installing the Smart Jack System to prevent any further problems in the future, the best solution would be to encapsulation with crawl space with the CleanSpace Encapsulation System that stops moisture from entering the crawl space that causes such things as wood rot. Betty is thrilled with the results that Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair was able to provide to fix her home.

Cheryl contacted Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair because the floors of her home had started to sag. As an older home built in the 1970's, the home had never had a vapor barrier installed, which caused the wood in the crawl space to become soft and start to sag. Our crew installed the CleanSpace Encapsulation System to seal off the crawl space, along with the Sedona Dehumidifier to get rid of any water in the crawl space. We also installed the Smart Jack System to raise the floors back level in the home. Cheryl is happy that Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair was able to help her save the crawl space of her home.
