Photo Album: Foundation Support in Charles Town, WV
A homeowner near Charles Town, WV had been noticing several soft spots in her floor and a musty smell coming from her crawlspace. After investigating, she discovered mildew and moisture beginning to damage her wooden floor joists. A System Designer met with the homeowner, inspected her crawl space and provided a free estimate for an encapsulation and SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizers. Soon a Fortress crew was onsite installing the SmartJacks and a CleanSpace vapor barrier. The CleanSpace keeps out moisture and the Smart Jacks provide an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces. They not only provide supplemental support, but can often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position. This homeowner has now protected her most important asset - her home!
