Sagging Crawl Space in Durham, NC

This damp and musty crawl space environment was causing the wooden support beams to weaken and the floors above to sink and sag down. Our expert team permanently stabilized the floors with the SmartJack system. These fully adjustable steel piers stop sagging in its tracks and can even lift the floors above back to their original position. Our crew then installed our ultra-durable CleanSpace encapsulation system to seal, cover, and protect the crawl space from any moisture or cold drafts.
