If your home has weakened, bending floor joists, the floor above your crawl space will become uneven and bouncy.
Crawl spaces are an essential part of a home's structural support. They carry the weight of rooms above and, because it is connected to the foundation, damage in the crawl space can significantly impact your home.
Many crawl spaces are weak from mold and moisture problems decaying supports. Or they are sinking because of soil settlement. If one or more of these issues are affecting your home, you will see sagging floors above the crawl space that may break down if not fixed.

SmartJack® supports solve sagging floor problems in crawl spaces by stabilizing & leveling sagging beams.
Crawl space floor joists start to sag because of aging, mold growth, or damage from pests. This leads to the floors above them sagging as well, causing uneven or "bouncy" floors in the living space, which are uncomfortable and can also lower resale value.
SmartJackĀ® crawl space support posts offer a effective, durable answer for stabilizing damaged crawl spaces. Unlike concrete blocks that sink deeper into the ground, the SmartJackĀ® provides a permanent solution.
This strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel crawl space support system won't develop rust or be damaged by pests. The sturdy base that SmartJack® posts are installed prevents further settlement. Most importantly, it is easily adjustable if you need to change the height.
