An owner contacted us about her home in Star, Idaho. She was worried about the structural integrity of her crawl space so she gave Foundation and Crawl Space Repair of Idaho a call. The team installed two SmartJack supports. SmartJacks lift an stabilizes sloping or sagging floors ad brings back structural integrity to a home. SmartJacks also support the floor joist system above. We finished the job with no hitches and it only took half a day to complete the reinstalment work. We left the job site clean, refreshed and the owner very happy!
This crumbling foundation needed support and better protection against water vapor. To do this, we installed our heavy, 20 mil thick CleanSpace liner with antimicrobial protection and a 25-year warranty against rips and tears. Then, we installed our powerful EverBrace Wall Restoration System, which shifts the weight of the home from the crumbling wall and onto a stable one.
This homeowner was worried about the cracked walls against the sinking corner of their home. To fix it, we brought in SupportWorks© helical piers. These piers are 'screwed' into the soil next to the foundation, and sections are added to reach the necessary depth and capacity needed to transfer the weight of the home onto more competent soils.
You can hardly tell this is the same crawlspace with the SmartJacks installed! We have been installing SmartJacks all over Idaho such as Bellevue, Blackfoot, Bloomington, Boise, Buhl, Burley, Caldwell, Cascade, Challis, Donnelly, Eagle, Emmett, Garden City, Idaho Falls, Kuna, Lewiston, McCall, Post Falls, Sandpoint, Stanley, and Twin Falls. As you can see we are very experienced at installing SmartJacks.
The SmartJack™ Crawl Space Stabilizer is an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces.
It not only provides supplemental support to your failing structure -- it can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position.
This crawl space support system is unique in that it's made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel. Because your system will not develop rust, it will remain adjustable for years, should you need to perform future adjustments.
The owner noticed major interior and exterior cracking around his property, a clear indication of foundation settlement. It had gotten so severe that a bedroom wall was not even touching the ceiling. We utilized our galvanized push pier technology to counteract the settlement using the Earths hard bedrock. Our team was able to achieve an outstanding 6" of lift!
