Photo Album: Smart Jack Installation in San Jose, CA

Are your floors sagging, soft, or bouncy? Does the walk through your home feel more like a hike? Floors above crawl spaces are susceptible to problems created within the crawl space itself. Our Smart Jack system is a proven solution. Smart Jacks are galvanized steel columns that will not rust. They are secured to the beams or joists and they are adjustable and custom-fitted to your needs.    Our customer in San Jose called us about concerns he had with a sagging section of the floor of his home . Our structural consultant Fred Gonzalez went to the home and investigated the crawl space where he found the root of the problem: The wooden posts within the crawl space that had been put in place at the construction of the home were showing signs of dry rot, which is the decay of wood from only certain species of fungi. The dry rot causes the wood to weaken and crumble, allowing the floors that the wooden posts were meant to protect to sink. Our Smart Jacks were installed and our customers sunken floor became a non-issue.
