Photo Album: Structural Reinforcement and Encapsulation of Crawl Space - Keizer, OR

Crawl spaces in the PNW suffer from water intrusion, this persistent water intrusion can cause damage to the structural components beneath the home, leaving the entire structure in a diminished state of stability, and in urgent need of professional repairs. This is where John's comes in! One phone call to our office, will get the ball rolling on all issues beneath your home. Our Design Specialists are highly trained in crawl space inspections, to ensure that no problem goes unnoticed. After performing their thorough inspection, they kindly approach homeowners with effective, professional solutions. This home was similar to most in the PNW - the crawl space had evidence of water intrusion, and several of the wooden subfloor posts had suffered from water damage, and were in need of urgent repair to protect the entire structure of the home. In order to permanently protect this home from water damage, and to restore structural integrity, our expert crews encapsulated the crawl space, and installed Smart Jacks. Encapsulated crawl spaces are sealed, waterproofed, and insulated from top to bottom, preventing water damage to homes, while ensuring a clean breathing environment both beneath of, and inside of the home. As 40% of interior air comes from the crawl space, it is absolutely imperative to have a clean, dry space beneath your home, to protect the health of your loved ones. Encapsulated crawl spaces are equipped with several professional-grade waterproofing components, all working together to protect the home and family. While encapsulating the crawl space, our crew simultaneously installed 11 Steel Smart Jacks in place of the original wooden posts that had rotted and were no longer adequately supporting the weight of the home. Smart Jacks are adjusted by hand, until the subfloor is once again stable, level, and weight distribution is even throughout the entire home. Smart Jacks are made of durable steel, making them resistant to rot, and far superior in strength compared to traditional wooden posts. The crawl space of this home is now protected from water damage, and the weight of the home will forever be supported by durable steel Smart Jacks within the crawl space. John's professional crawl space encapsulation gives homeowners peace of mind in knowing that their home will remain dry, stable, and healthy, allowing their family to thrive!
