No matter the age of your home, the floor system needs to be properly supported. Often times, as is the case in this scenario, older homes built with stone foundations have had support posts, beams, floor joists and other flooring system components fail. Many times, posts have been replaced with undersized or inadequate materials such as painted lally posts or even wood. The problem is that the metal will often rust or bend and the wood can rot in humid conditions. Dirt or concrete floors are not proper bases and further problems are created as a resulted. Our SmartJack system can add supplemental support or replace inadequate posts. They are properly sized to withstand of to 50,000 pounds per SmartJack.

Dirt floor crawlspaces can create problems for home owners. This home built in 1900 in Albion, NY has some parts of it's original stone foundation replaced as well as additional posts and beams installed to help support the floors. At some point there was also pink fiberglass insulation installed between the floor joists. If outside air is allowed into a crawlspace and moisture seeps into the exposed dirt floor it creates an environment that can cause damage. The air in the crawlspace is cooler than the air outside so the moisture in the humid air condenses and makes everything wet. Metal posts will rust, wood will rot, fiberglass insulation will become saturated and heavy causing it to fall down.  Bad smells start to become noticeable in your living space. What's worse is it becomes a breeding ground for mold which can cause health problems for you and your family. We have ways to battle every problem associated with crawlspaces. Our systems are based in science and can make a drastic improvement to your home and your health. If your crawlspace is a cause for concern, book your free estimate today.
