Crawl Space Jacks - SmartJack® Technical Information

Crawl Space Support In Alabama

Crawl space issues such as sagging floors can pose serious risks to the structural integrity of your home. Crawl space jacks, also known as SmartJacks®, offer a reliable and durable solution for stabilizing and lifting sagging crawl spaces. Alabama Professional Services (APS) uses SmartJacks® to effectively address uneven floors caused by foundation settlement or weak crawl space joists, ensuring your home’s structure is safe and sound.

How The SmartJack® System Works

The SmartJack® system is designed to provide supplemental support for your crawl space by lifting sagging beams and floor joists. First, a small area in the crawl space is excavated and filled with engineered fill to create a strong base. Then, a heavy-duty galvanized steel jack is positioned and adjusted to lift and stabilize the floor joists, providing permanent, adjustable support. The system is corrosion-resistant and can be modified if the home experiences further settlement.

Applications & Benefits

SmartJacks® are ideal for homes experiencing uneven floors, cracked walls, or sticking doors due to a weak foundation or crawl space structure. These jacks can support loads of up to 60,000 pounds, offering a robust and long-lasting solution for homes with crawl space problems. The benefits include immediate stabilization, the ability to adjust the system over time, and resistance to moisture damage, making them ideal for damp crawl spaces. By choosing APS to install SmartJacks®, homeowners can restore their property’s stability and value, while also preventing further structural damage.
