Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Sagging Floor Repair in Brightwood, Virginia
In Brightwood, Virginia, a homeowner's humidity issues were causing the floor above the basement to sag, leading to unwanted floor "bounce." The problem can be seen in the photos with unsupported floor joists. We expertly resolved this with our SmartJack® System, which stabilizes and lifts the affected beams. The photos show the installation process, where our sturdy galvanized steel columns were put in place to ensure a stable and dependable solution that also addresses weak foundation soils.
