Rotting Floor Support in Elmira, OR

This household was struggling with rotted and weak wood posts holding nothing but air. The owners were worried about the condition of their crawl space and if it would affect their home so they quickly scheduled an appointment with John's and had them inspect and repair the area.

Interior posts are used to keep the crawl space and ground level united and stabilized. Having fragile posts can result in unbalanced floors, unable to handle as much weight as necessary. As shown in the before photo, the wood is so frail, a knife can easily be stabbed into it. John's Waterproofing dove right in to replacing the faulty posts with our high-capacity, adjustable, supplemental steel pier, the SmartJack. The SmartJack is designed to stop sagging and rise the floor back to where it originally was. The ultimate floor support, it helps keep longevity and safety within the structure. First, the rotting post is removed. Next, the SmartJack is cut to the specific size of the crawl space and installed, attaching to the wooden beam above and the footing below. The steel pier is also adjustable! Containing a screw, it can jack up the floor and can be easily adjusted again in the future if needed. The crew finished up and left the crawl space balanced and stabilized. The homeowners no longer had to fret about safety of their home!
