Friday, August 25th, 2023 by Moira Helein

Challenge

Jake and Katie have recently acquired a new home with plans to renovate its upper-level flooring. However, before commencing their flooring upgrade, they had to address the issue of sagging floors throughout their house. The floors were settling unevenly, leading to sagging in various areas, which made it impossible to install new flooring evenly. Their System Design Specialist, Tom, utilized his advanced inspection tools to identify the exact location and extent of sagging in the crawl space, allowing him to explain the root cause of the problem and provide guidance on how to resolve it.

Solution

Floors tend to sag for three reasons: inadequate support spacing, sinking support beams, and moisture weakening the joists. Jake and Katie faced all three problems. Fortunately, Sure-Dry came to the rescue with their SmartJack Crawl Space Support System. This system uses steel support beams attached to the floor joists and a sturdy base on the floor to lift and stabilize the floors. The best part? It's a permanent solution! The remarkable project was a testament to the effectiveness of Sure-Dry's SmartJack Crawl Space Support System. Say goodbye to sagging floors and hello to a level, safe home with Sure-Dry.
