SmartJack Installation in Crawlspaces: Stability and Peace of Mind

 

Crawlspaces are often overlooked—but they play a critical role in the health and stability of your home. Over time, sagging floors, uneven joists, and moisture can threaten structural integrity, comfort, and safety. That’s where the SmartJack® system comes in, providing a reliable, long-term solution for homeowners dealing with compromised crawlspaces.

Why Crawlspace Support Matters

Sagging or sloping floors aren’t just an aesthetic concern—they’re a sign that your home’s weight isn’t properly supported. Left untreated, this can lead to:

  • Uneven floors and bouncing in main living areas

  • Stress on floor joists and beams

  • Increased risk of damage to walls, doors, and appliances

  • Decreased property value and homeowner confidence

Introducing SmartJack®

The SmartJack® system is an engineered solution designed to lift, stabilize, and support floors from below. Each system uses galvanized steel columns mounted on a sturdy steel base and is adjustable to achieve precise leveling. Unlike temporary fixes, SmartJack® provides a permanent solution that restores structural integrity while reducing floor bounce and uneven surfaces.

The Installation Process

  1. Inspection and Assessment – Our System Design Specialist thoroughly inspects your crawlspace to identify the areas most in need of support. This ensures a customized plan tailored to your home.

  2. Preparation – The crawlspace is cleared and readied for installation, allowing full access to all problem areas.

  3. SmartJack® Installation – Galvanized steel columns are installed strategically beneath sagging floors. Each column is adjustable, allowing our team to lift the floors back to their intended level gradually and evenly.

  4. Final Adjustments – Every column is tested for stability, ensuring the floor above is fully supported and secure.

  5. Cleanup and Verification – The area is left clean, and our team verifies the floors are level, stable, and ready for everyday use.

Benefits of SmartJack® in Crawlspaces
