Sloping Floors Above a Hanson, KY Crawl Space

Before	After

Some signs of your foundation becoming unstable are visible cracks, but what about the problems you don't usually think of? Do the floors above your crawl space seem bouncy, soft, or unlevel? This is exactly what Linda W. from Hanson, KY was experiencing. Her floors began to slope and was slowly creating a gap between the floor and interior walls. When she saw this problem arising, she gave Healthy Spaces a call to fix her problem. 

Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, came to Linda's home and provided her with a free estimate. He took a look at the foundation issues and provided her with a proposal to go over. Damon recommended a SmartJack System to cure her sloping floors. The SmartJack Stabilizer is a steel support system used to stabilize and level the girders and floor joists in a crawl space. The system has been laboratory tested to support loads of more than 60,000 pounds, making it the ideal system to stabilize your sagging floor, any walls sitting on top of that floor, and additional loads from the home. 

With the job complete and the floors stable again, Linda is enjoying the changes the SmartJack system has made to her Hanson, KY home. 

Sagging Floors in Crawl Space in Hanson, KY

Before	After

Homeowners in Hanson, KY, purchased their home over 10 years ago. They recently began to renovate their home when they discovered that their floors were creaking and were beginning to sag. They were afraid that the issue would get worse, so they decided to contact Healthy Spaces. 

Upon inspection, our Design Specialist, Damon, found high humidity which was causing the deterioration of the floor joists in the crawl space. The weakened girders and floor joists are unable to continue supporting the weight above, and the floor above the crawl space becomes bouncy, soft, and may begin to sag. 

Tad and his crew installed several SmartJacks in the crawl space. SmartJacks are used to permanently lifts and stabilizes existing beams and floor joists in the crawl space. Steel columns are secured to the beams or joists. Heavy-duty rods allow for adjustment and a custom fit for each SmartJack System installed. 

Insulated Crawl Space in Hanson, KY

Before	After

A modernized and clean crawl space was a wish for a homeowner in Hanson, KY. Modernizing a crawl space can be a good thing if done correctly. The crawl space consisted of pink insulation that is considered “out of date” compared to the great innovations that can be installed. The pink insulation is pointless because if it gets humid in a crawl space, it will drip down and not work as intended. Upgrading to a dry, clean crawl space is any homeowner’s dream!
The pink insulation is referred to as fiberglass floor insulation, and when moisture is mixed in the air, it is a very bad combination! The insulation was taken out of the crawl space while CleanSpace was put all around the floor and sides of the space. This type of liner will save you more money than fiberglass insulation since it protects the space from the outside climate. A SmartSump Pump and SaniDry Sedona are installed in the space. The SaniDry Sedona will create a dry air flow at all times. Once the crawl space was completed, the homeowner had a modernized, money-saving space!
