Foundation Repair Photo Album: Weak, Sagging Floors In Coeur D'Alene, ID
If you could pick a long-term support for your home, you might imagine a more nuanced solution than a pile of stone and wood. So, it might amaze you that, for some builders, that's the real solution that they give homeowners. Take a look at these photos. Why doesn't this work? For one, wood can easily rot without a crawl space encapsulation. Two, both the wood and stone are susceptible to settling for the same reasons a home will settle: problem soils. That's why these homeowners picked our SmartJack© system, which stabilizes crawl space beams and floor joists permanently. Our SmartJacks© are installed directly into engineered fill, which addresses problem soils—otherwise known as the cause of settlement. The homeowners loved the results, with our SmartJacks© immediately lifting their sagging, sloping floors.
