Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Stabilization of a crawl space in Saint-Michel-Des-Saints, Qc
We have solidified this crawl space in Saint-Michel-Des-Saints that had problems in its structure due to water presence.
So we installed our SmartJacks which are specially designed for crawl spaces. They support and stabilize your foundations and are adjustable to adapt to the movement of the ground.
Below you can find more details about this job.
Damp crawl space in Saint-Michel-Des-Saints
A damp crawl space is the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew.
Deterioration of the wooden beams
Mold strives on organic materials, and when it multiplies, those materials such as the wooden beams will be affected and might deteriorate.
Another picture showing the state of the beams
Stabilization of those beams is recommended.
Sagging old beams
Those beams need to be changed.
Installation started
To install a crawl space jack, a hole is first created and a solid base of engineered fill is established under the location of the jack.
SmartJacks installed
The SmartJacks support pillars that are specially designed to fit the height of the crawl space while being adjustable to be tightened over time over time.
Benefits of the SmartJacks
Crawl space support jacks work by transferring the load of a house from the beams and sending it downwards into the existing soils.
