Crawl Space Repair in Grand Forks, ND

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2021 by Kal Aldrich

Challenge

The floor that sits above a crawl space needs to be strong and level and is typically supported by a beam-and-post construction. However, beams are typically undersized and are used with wooden posts. Eventually, those posts can attract mold, rot, and settle inward. When this occurs, floor joists tend to sag and other structural issues happen.

A homeowner in Grand Forks, ND was having this exact issue with her crawl space. She was worried about the structural hold of her home and was nervous to walk around in her own space. She got in contact with our office and scheduled a FREE estimate with one of our expert Design Specialists. Ian, our Design Specialist, went to the homeowner's house to inspect the problem and determine a well-designed solution. Ian used his leveler to get accurate results and showed the homeowner the difference in the floor towards the center of the room. The homeowner decided to move forward with Ian's proposal of our SmartJacks, which are designed to lift the crawl space. They signed Ian's contract, filled out a deposit check, and got a date scheduled for the installation.

Solution

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his production team began the project by introducing themselves to the homeowner and ensuring all of their questions were answered. After a thorough walkthrough, our crew got to work and installed eight of our SmartJacks to the floor joists. Our SmartJack System provides the structural support for sagging and undersized beams, which restores the stability and straightness of the crawl space. Since sagging floors can create other problems such as wall cracks, floor cracks, etc., the SmartJack System plays a huge utility role. After the installation, Ryan performed a final walkthrough with the homeowner and ensured they were happy with the work that was done. The homeowner's peace of mind was restored and so was the support and weight of their home!
