Photo Album: Recommendation for Preserving Home Value & Addressing Sagging Floors

In Riverdale, GA, a homeowner expressed concern about their sagging floors, prompting our inspector to conduct a comprehensive free crawl space inspection. During the assessment, it was evident that the home lacked adequate support in multiple areas, leading to the sagging floors. Furthermore, a persistent high humidity issue had caused the wood supporting the floor to rot over time, compromising the structural integrity of the home. To provide a truly effective solution, our experienced inspector recommended an approach that not only solves the symptoms of the problem -but the problem itself. First, they advised repairing or replacing the weak joists with new treated wood, addressing the areas in need of immediate attention. Second, the installation of the SmartJack Support System was proposed to stabilize the sagging areas, ensuring long-lasting support for the floors. Lastly, the implementation of the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was suggested to tackle the persistent humidity issue, preventing future wood rot and preserving the value of the home.
