Foundation Repair Photo Album: Sagging Floor Lifted in Boyds, MD
Joe B. of Boyds, MD called Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing his floors sagging. System Designer, Skylar Beverage, went out to meet with Joe, inspect the crawl space and provide a free estimate. Skylar proposed Smart Jacks to lift the floor and an encapsulation to protect the floor joists from further moisture damage. Joe agreed! Our crawl space crew set the footers, installed the Smart Jack post under the supplemental beam, and lifted until the floor was stabilized. The final step was to install CleanSpace vapor barrier and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. Now when Joe walks across his home he is confident knowing his floor is stable, his crawl space is clean & dry, eliminating future wood rot or floor sagging.
Finished!
The smart jacks are installed under the supplemental beam and the crawl space is encapsulated.
