That's exactly what happened here. Concerned about the potential damage and health hazards, the homeowner reached out to us for a solution. Upon their call, our dedicated team sprang into action. The first step was a comprehensive home inspection to identify the root causes of moisture accumulation in the crawlspace. Our System Design Specialist Emily performed an in-depth assessment, highlighting the seriousness of the water issue and recommending a tailored solution that promised not only to address the current concerns but also to prevent future problems. The solution included the installation of our trusted CleanSpace liner along with the highly efficient SaniDry Sedona.

A homeowner in Donnelly, ID, reached out to Foundation & Crawl Space Repair with concerns about his home's foundation. His floors were not only uneven and sagging but were also squeaking when walked across. These are clear signs of foundation issues that demand immediate attention. Left untreated, they can worsen and become more costly to fix. Thankfully, this homeowner reached out to the local experts before the problem escalated further!

One of our skilled specialists visited the home for a free, no-obligation inspection and estimate. After thoroughly assessing the situation, he took the time to explain to the homeowner what was causing the floor issues, why it was happening, and what solutions could help. Once a plan of action was agreed upon, our expert crew got to work.

To permanently stabilize the sinking floors, we installed the SmartJack system, which involved placing steel piers and supplemental beams throughout the crawl space. These galvanized steel supports immediately halted any further settlement and even lifted the floors back to their original position. The SmartJack system is unique in that it directly addresses the root cause of sagging floors—weak, unstable soils beneath the structure—providing a long-lasting and effective solution.

We performed a thorough, free inspection and chatted with him about what was causing the water problems. We then discussed the solutions we could provide.

An IceGuard Attachment was added to the exterior discharge line to make sure the sump pump can always get rid of water, even in the freezing cold temps of winter.

For the past two years, Kevin M. has owned a vacation home in McCall Idaho with noticeable issues in the floors, including sagging and soft spots in the floor. He wanted to keep the home long-term, but needed to fix the weakened floor joists in his crawl space. Kevin researched his local contractors online, and that's when he discovered Foundation & Crawl Space Repair of Idaho. He reached out to us for a free estimate to eliminate this problem for good. 

We set up an appointment with Kevin, then sent an expert member of our team to evaluate his home's floors and crawl space. Then, as a permanent solution, we suggested our SmartJack© system, which lifts floors above the crawl space towards their original elevation and reduce floor "bounce" caused by weakened floor joists or excessive spans. Why is this system a permanent solution? The SmartJack's© engineered fill addresses problem soils, and the system is proven to support loads far greater than common floor columns. Its heavy-duty threaded rods allow for adjustment and can even lift sagging and sloping floors. On installation day, our team cleaned the crawl space before carefully installing our SmartJack© system below the home's main support beam. 

Now, Kevin and his family can eliminate any fear of floor failure caused by their once-sagging floors. The SmartJack© system is also resistant to corrosion, so he can rest easy, knowing that his floors are reinforced now and in the future — no matter what time of year him and his family want to take a vacation.
