Sagging Floor Repair Project in Blacksburg, Virginia
Challenge
Linda in Blacksburg, Virginia had started noticing that certain areas of her floor felt bouncy and uneven when walking through the home. Over time, those soft spots became more noticeable, and she knew the problem wasn't going to improve on its own.
Wanting a permanent solution rather than a temporary patch, Linda contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions to have the crawl space and floor system evaluated.
Solution
After inspecting the crawl space, we found that sections of the floor system needed additional support to properly stabilize the structure.
Scott and his crew installed 9 SmartJack® supports beneath the home to reinforce the weakened areas and help eliminate the floor movement. To further strengthen the support system, the team also installed a steel supplemental main beam to better distribute the home's weight and provide long-term stability.
By the time the project was complete, the floors felt noticeably more solid and secure. Linda now has peace of mind knowing the structure beneath her home is properly supported with a permanent solution designed to last.
