Foundation Repair Photo Album: SmartJack Installation in Portland, TN

This customer in Portland, TN, called Frontier due to uneven floors and cracks in their home's interior walls. His uneven floors were caused by failing crawl space supports. As these supports begin to give way, the floors above can sag, and interior walls may crack, resulting in expensive problems in your home. In many cases, a failing crawl space structure can be resolved by installing crawl space supports. For this customer, we installed our SmartJack System to support and lift the structure back up. At Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair, we specialize in crawl space repairs of all types. If you're experiencing a structural problem with your crawl space, we have a solution for you.

Crawl Space During Inspection

During the inspection, the crawl space supports the customer had was a bottle jack. It was not enough to hold up the structure, as indicated by the sinking supports and cracking starting in the interior of the home.

Interior Cracks

When the crawl space supports start to fail, the first indication are cracks like these around doorways. You may also notice sloping floors, sticking doors, and cracks and sticking around the interior windows.

More Cracks

More cracks are starting to form around the doorways. These will continue to grow as the home sinks. If not addressed, this can cause major structural damage.

The SmartJack System

The SmartJack Crawl Space Stabilizer is an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces. It not only provides supplemental support to your failing structure -- it can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position.

Fast, Year-Round Installation

The SmartJack can be installed year-round, with installations completing in about a day. There's no waiting time for concrete to cure!

Versatile Installation

The SmartJack 's portable size allows it to be installed in even the tightest of crawl spaces.

Stronger Crawl Space Support

Our crawl space support system can support vertical loads exceeding 60,000 pounds, which is far stronger than conventional concrete repairs.

Superior Support

Our support jacks do more than merely halt the downward movement of your floor. The SmartJack may also be adjusted to try to lift the floor above to its original position.
