Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Crumbling concrete support blocks were endangering the floor and foundation of this home, and this homeowner needed a solution installed quickly. After performing a thorough inspection of the homes crawl space, we proposed our SmartJack system to restore stability to the home and lift the floors back to their original position. 

The current supports for this home are cinder blocks that are breaking and offer little to no support as the floor began to fall down. They called Thrasher to come out to replace the old support structures with new. We used a smart jack 350 system to stabilize the home and lift the failing floor back up to its original position. 
 

Susan was having issues with her crawlspace getting moisture in the area. Moisture in a crawlspace can cause further damage to the floor joints below, such as mold, rot, and beam failure. The crawlspace of your home must be protected to ensure there is no moisture getting in. This can affect your home above. 

For this project, CleanSpace was installed, which is a thick liner, like one in a pool. There was a drainage mat put underneath the CleanSpace, to ensure water and moisture can flow freely beneath the lining, and into the Sump Pump that was installed. A Sump Pump was put in, to help maintain a dry crawlspace, with the final product being a drain line, to help get the water out of the crawlspace. Susan can now rest easy that her crawlspace is protected from the elements. 

Steve S. was tired of having a musty smell in his basement. Water would be constantly coming into his crawl space, keeping it wet and allowing it to smell. Concerned with other problems this would cause, he decided to give Thrasher Foundation Repair a call.

The Thrasher Foundation Repair crew went out to the home and was able to come up with a solution to keep the crawl space dry. Drainage matting was installed on the floor and then the whole space was encapsulated with CleanSpace, a very thick linear to keep water from coming in through the walls and floor. A sump pump was put in to then water could be directed out of the crawl space and a dehumidifier was installed to keep the humidity levels low.

In the middle of their basement living room, these homeowners noticed a concerning sag, which was a direct result of a missing load-bearing wall support. Investigation revealed that the previous homeowners had removed a load-bearing wall in the basement, leading to compromised structural integrity.  Our team assessed the situation and recommended the installation of SmartJacks and a supplemental beam to fully stabilize the middle of the room.

SmartJacks are adjustable steel support posts specifically designed to provide reliable support for sagging floors and weak beams. These robust supports are strategically placed to distribute the load and reinforce the compromised area.

To further strengthen the structural integrity, we installed a supplemental beam that would provide additional support and stability. This beam was carefully positioned and secured to effectively redistribute the weight and prevent further sagging or damage.
