Foundation Repair Photo Album: SmartJack Repair Solution In Edgewater, MD

Due to ongoing foundation settlement, this Edgewater, MD homeowner started struggling with unstable structural conditions in their crawl space, support beams had begun to weaken and floors above were unleveled, prompting them to seek out a lasting solution from Quality 1st. After our team thoroughly inspected the space, we were able to construct a tailored repair approach that involved the installation of our ultra-strength SmartJack Support System and our moisture-resistant CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. With this powerful dynamic duo securely in place, the crawl space was completely stabilized and restored, providing this homeowner with a renewed sense of pride in their home!

Unstable Crawl Space

Visible signs of unstable crawl space conditions in this home included sagging floors, musty odors, and increased humidity, clear indicators of moisture buildup and weakening structural support.

Installing SmartJack

We began by carefully preparing the crawl space, excavating small footings where each SmartJack would be placed. High-strength base stones were compacted to create a solid foundation, followed by the placement of steel SmartJack posts beneath the sagging beams. Each support was then adjusted to provide immediate stabilization and lift, restoring the floor above to its proper level.

SmartJack System

The SmartJack Support System offers strong, adjustable support for sagging floors and weakened crawl space joists. Made from corrosion-resistant galvanized steel, it's engineered to provide long-term stability, prevent further settlement, and can be adjusted over time to maintain proper support.

CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System

To further protect the crawl space from moisture and humidity, we installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. This durable liner seals the ground and walls, preventing water vapor from entering the space, helping to control mold, improve air quality, and protect the home's structural integrity.
