Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Steel Reinforcement of Sagging Subfloor - Salem, OR
Sagging subfloors create sloped, bouncy, uneven flooring inside of homes, that can be very uncomfortable for families. When the sagging is more pronounced, sheetrock often begins to crack around door frames, ceilings, and walls, and doors may no longer shut easily. Fortunately, reinforcement of sagging subfloors is possible when you call on your leading, local experts in all things crawl space repair; John's! During our free inspection at this home, we found rotten, unstable subfloor posts, that were no longer offering even weight distribution throughout the entirety of the subfloor. When this is the case, our Structural Experts will remove all of the rotten wooden posts, and replace them with steel SmartJacks - to immediately and permanently restore even weight distribution, and return all interior flooring back to its proper, level positioning. SmartJacks are carefully adjusted by hand, and thanks to their steel composition, they offer superior support and longevity to the stability of homes, compared to traditionally installed wooden posts. Before installing the SmartJacks, our crew first cleaned out the entire crawl space, removing all debris, installed drainage with a sump pump, and a fresh, 6 Mil vapor barrier, to prevent water from seeping in through the ground and walls. This crawl space now boasts professionally installed waterproofing capabilities, along with steel reinforcement of the subfloor that has returned structural integrity back to the home, resulting in a more comfortable living environment for this family. Backed by over 50 years in the crawl space repair industry, John's is proud to be your leading, local experts - offering signature WOW service to all of our customers every step of the way!
