Settling sunroom repair in Alexandria, Virginia
Challenge
The Fitzgeralds, homeowners in Alexandria, began noticing concerns with the support beneath the deck that their sunroom was built on. Since the sunroom relied on the deck structure for support, they wanted to address the issue before it became a larger structural problem.
After inspecting the area, we found the structure lacked proper support and needed reinforcement to safely carry the load above. The project also came with an additional challenge. The work area beneath the deck was an extremely tight squeeze. In order to access the repair areas, sections of the deck boards had to be carefully removed.
Solution
Our team designed a stabilization plan that included installing 8 SmartJacks along with 20 feet of supplemental beam to properly support and stabilize the structure beneath the sunroom.
Gustavo, our foreman on the project, carefully led the installation process despite the difficult working conditions. His crew worked efficiently in the tight crawlspace area, installed the new support system, and ensured the structure was safely reinforced.
Now, the Fitzgeralds’ sunroom is stabilized, properly supported, and built on a much safer foundation.
