Rotting Posts under Home in Oceanside, Oregon
Challenge
A homeowner had an older home and had noticed that there were some cracked walls throughout his home. And the floors had begun sagging quite a bit in a few different places. He also had doors that didn't open or close right and a window that had a lot of difficulties working. It seemed as though his home was almost "sinking" inward. He was concerned about the safety of his foundation and his home. But he didn't know how to easily fix the problem.
Solution
Our crews went out and installed SmartJack crawl space stabilizers. SmartJack is a high-capacity, adjustable steel pier designed to stop settling and raise the floor back to the proper level. The SmartJack allows an adjustable screw to jack-up the floor. Each SmartJack will hold 30,000 pounds and if any future settling occurs then SmartJack can easily be adjusted again. It's easy to install and easy to adjust and SmartJack comes with a 25-year warranty. It can even be installed in conjunction with a crawl space liner. Now the homeowner no longer has to worry about the stability of his crawl space or home. And with his floors raised to the correct level, he can now operate all the windows and doors in his home the way they are meant to be used.
