These sinking floor joists needed extra support. Enter: The SmartJack system. Our SmartJacks are installed on engineered fill, which shift the weight of the home from unstable soils and onto competent, load-bearing soil. Built with zinc-plated galvanized steel components, they're built to last decades and include a 25-year warranty.
Customers call us all the time wanting to know more about our encapsulation service. Some people are interested because they want to save on their utility bills, some need it so that the air that they are breathing in their home is better for them. When you encapsulate your crawl space it is a total transformation. This customer in particular required a full encapsulation in order to keep his crawl space dry and moisture-free.
This crawl space was suffering from sagging floors and increased mold, wood rot, and dust mites. To fix it, we installed our SmartJack system, which immediately stabilizes crawl space beams and floor joists. It can lift the floors above toward its original elevation, and its engineered fill addresses problem soils, the root cause of foundation settlement. Then, we encapsulated the crawl space to permanently separate the earth from the home, prevent mold, wood rot, and dust mites from further developing. Lastly, to increase the insulation and energy efficiency of the home, we installed our SilverGlo, a 2" foamboard that is made of expanded polyethylene infused with graphite for superior R-value per inch.
In Houston, AK, a homeowner faced the daunting issue of water intrusion in their crawl space, clearly visible in the 'before' photo. Thanks to our team's expertise, we transformed their worry into relief. We installed SilverGlow for top-notch insulation, CleanSpace for a waterproof barrier, and a SaniDry Sedona system to ensure a dry, healthy home environment. The 'after' photo proudly showcases a safer, more efficient crawl space, perfectly embodying our dedication to reliable, lasting solutions.
Here is a GREAT example of what a nasty wet crawlspace can look like after we install our products. For this project specifically, Foundation and Crawl Space Repair of Alaska had to install a Smartpipe drainage system with a SmartSump to drain any water that entered through the foundation. Once that had been installed, we then went in with our Cleanspace product over the entire crawlspace. Cleanspace is sealed all the way around the perimeter of the foundation to ensure a dry and clean crawlspace for years to come.
