What Are Structural Support Jacks?
Crawl space support jacks are engineered, adjustable steel posts installed beneath a home to stabilize weakened beams and floor joists. They transfer loads to stable footings below, building a reliable support system for sagging or bouncy floors.
Unlike hardware-store jack posts designed for temporary or limited applications, The Foundation Specialists relies on structural support jacks designed for permanent crawl space repair.
Symptoms
Signs It’s Time for Crawl Space Support Jacks
Problems with the beams, joists or columns in your crawl space can become noticeable in the rooms above. The first thing you notice may be changes in how your floors feel or how doors and windows operate.
Signs your home may need additional crawl space support include:
- Sloping, sagging or bouncy floors
- Gaps between floors and baseboards
- Sticking windows and doors
- Cracks in interior walls
- Gaps between the beams and crawl space columns
These symptoms don’t always mean support jacks are the right repair. An inspection can determine what’s behind the movement and whether the existing support system needs to be reinforced.
Crawl Space Support Solutions We Offer in Nashville
Adjustable steel supports for sagging, sloping and bouncy floors
SmartJack® Crawl Space Support Jacks
The SmartJack® system provides permanent support to under-supported or weakened crawl space beams and floor joists. Each adjustable steel post is installed on a footing built to provide a stable base and properly transfer load.
After installation, SmartJack posts stabilize the floor system and, when conditions allow, can help raise sagging areas toward a more level position.
Repairs Weakened or Damaged Beams and Joists
Wood Repair and Replacement
When crawl space beams or floor joists are damaged by rot, mold or other deterioration, adding support alone may not fix the problem. Damaged structural wood often needs to be reinforced or replaced to restore its strength.
Wood repair can be combined with SmartJack® support and moisture-control solutions when multiple issues are affecting the floor system.
