Manassas, Virginia Home Struggling with Sagging Floors
Challenge
A homeowner in Manassas, Andrew, contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions after experiencing uneven and bouncy floors in several areas of his home. He noticed that furniture would shift slightly and that certain sections of the floor felt weak when walked on.
During our evaluation, we discovered that the crawl space support system was no longer performing effectively. The existing support posts had shifted and settled over time, while moisture conditions in the crawl space had contributed to weakening structural components. These factors combined to create sagging and instability in the floor system.
Andrew was concerned about the long-term safety of his home and wanted a reliable solution that would restore proper support.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions recommended the SmartJack® Support System to stabilize and lift the sagging floors. Our team installed adjustable steel SmartJacks® beneath the affected areas, securing them on engineered bases to provide dependable, long-term support.
The SmartJacks® were carefully adjusted to lift the floor system and restore a more level surface. This process improved structural stability and eliminated the bounce in the floors.
After installation, Andrew’s floors in Manassas were level, stable, and secure. He gained confidence knowing his home was supported by a durable solution designed to prevent future issues.
