Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Rotting Floor Joists Supported With Smart Jacks And PowerBrace In Portageville, MO

This album showcases the work done in a Portageville, Missouri crawl space. The home's floors were sagging badly, and a Woods Basement Systems design specialist determined that damaged and rotting floor joists were the cause. A Woods team installed PowerBrace beams underneath the joists and parallel to the floor before affixing Smart Jack supports, capable of supporting 60,000 pounds a piece, to the supports to level the floors permanently.

Dirt-Floor Crawl Space

The home's crawl space was not protected at all from moisture or the elements.

Ineffective Supports

This photo shows one of the many piles of bricks used as supports for the floor joists. It doesn't take an expert to see how this is not acceptable.

PowerBrace Beams

Pictured are several of the steel PowerBrace beams installed in the crawl space to provide a stable base for the new supports.

Smart Jack And PowerBrace

The PowerBrace beams were installed underneath the damaged floor joists, and Smart Jack supports were affixed to them before being adjusted to level the floors for the life of the structure.
