Before SmartJack Installation
Notice all of the falling insulation. This is a sign of a moisture issue. Our inspectors recommend having a CleanSpace Encapsulation System installed to protect the home from weakening in integrity over time.
Open Sump Hole Mess
This is an open-hole design sump pump. insulation, dirt and plastic are clogging it from a moisture issue causing the insulation to fall. An encapsulation and proper sump pump should be installed. These failing systems are responsible for the weakness in the wood foundation's integrity, requiring additional support.
Subfloor and Joists Affected by Humidity
Over time, these joists could become weak from exposure to moisture. Take care of the moisture issue effectively with a CleanSpace Encapsulation System.
Installed SmartJack
This homeowner was glad to be made aware of the full extent of the moisture & foundation issues. They decided to have some of the areas of their crawl space supported with SmartJacks for now until they can consider encapsulating for full protection.
