Installing SmartJacks in Stanwood, WA

These homeowners had been unaware of their existing crawl space piers beginning to float underneath their home causing the floors to sink into the earth, until the floors began to bounce. They wanted to be safe and have their crawl space checked with an inspection from John's and the Design Specialist broke the shocking news to them. As the owners began to worry about the state of their house, we validated their feelings with a top notch plan to save their home. 

As our team arrived to their house, they noticed the interior problem and started to fix the issues that the Design Specialist promised to be restored. The original wood piers had spanned too far from the floor framing and created a gap over time. To navigate our way through this issue, we install our high-capacity, adjustable, supplemental steel piers, called the SmartJack. SmartJacks are designed to stop settling and raise the ground back to its original state. Having uneven floors can be extremely dangerous, so we made sure to repair the problem. For the posts floating over their footings we replaced the wood posts with a SmartJack. Following this we provide proper support we placed additional SmartJacks. To d this, a hole is dug for the SmartJack and a structural stone footing is compacted and set in place. The steel SmartJack is then cut to size of the specific crawl space to ensure the perfect fit. It is now installed and has an adjustable screw to jack up the floor and can be easily adjusted in the future. The home is now safe and sturdy and the homeowners no longer have to stress about the state of their house!
