Album Description
This 2005 home was showing signs of settlement on the at the south east, south and south west areas of the home. Settlement can be caused by one or any combination of many factors including sub-grade saturation of moisture due to poor drainage, years of storm runoff, plumbing leaks, improper compaction, the lack of a proper foundation system, and/or (in most cases) natural earth movement.
We believe that the proper way to permanently stop the perimeter foundation settlement is to underpin the areas that are experiencing movement, The best way to stabilize the support beams in the crawl space is with SmartJacks. These are adjustable galvanized supports engineered to be placed under the sagging floors to help prevent settlement of the floor joist system.
