Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair Case Studies: Permanent Stabilization in Columbia, TN

Monday, August 14th, 2017 by Sophie Rice

Challenge

This Columbia home was suffering from termites, causing rotted, damaged wood, resulting in un level floors with soft spots.

Solution

The following SmartJack system was installed to support the floor joists and therefore permanently stabilizing the floor above.

14 x SmartJacks

12 x Replacement beams

132 x Sisters

The old joists and beams are removed and hauled away. You can see that they are significantly damaged.

These Sisters are 2x8x12 lengths of lumber which are installed next to an existing beam to add support and strength to those beams that didn't need to be removed completely.

These shorter length SmartJacks have been installed periodically along the front of the property and within the center of the floor plan to give ultimate stabilization of the floors where they need it most.
