Raise Your Standard (and Floor) With Crawl Space Jack Installation
Is your Indianapolis home showing signs of sagging floors or sticking doors? The solution may be right beneath you. At Encapsulations Down Under, we specialize in crawl space jack installation, a proven way to strengthen your foundation and restore stability. Let’s explore how this process may be just what your home needs to stabilize your foundation.
What Are Crawl Space Jacks?
Crawl space jacks are heavy-duty, adjustable steel supports installed below your home. Their main job is to support and raise sagging beams and floor joists in crawl spaces. Rather than simply propping things up, these jacks can be fine-tuned to restore floors to a much more level position, providing real structural support.
How Jacks Stabilize Your Home
Over time, wood beams and supports under your house may weaken due to moisture, soil movement, or pests. When this happens, floors above can sink or bounce, which puts the entire structure at risk. A crawl space jack installation fixes this by redistributing the weight and lifting floor joists back toward their original position.
For most homes, at least four jacks are needed to strengthen the structure, but larger houses may require more. Each setup is carefully customized to fit your unique space.
Signs You Might Need Crawl Space Jacks
How do you know if you need this kind of repair? Look for these symptoms:
