Home Foundation Repair Photo Album: Tile Cracking From Crawl Space Sagging in Pooler, GA

This home in Pooler, GA had a sag in the floor causing the tile to crack in the bathroom. With a free inspection of the crawl space, the main beam was sagging due to poor drainage and sinking support in the crawl space. Our team was able to help support the sagging floor with SmartJacks and installed a layer of drainage matting to help water to drain properly in the crawl space. Drainage matting is generally the first step implemented in a CleanSpace Encapsulation System as well to control moisture and humidity. After the job was complete, the homeowner expressed interest in having the crawl space encapsulated.

Tile Crack in Bathroom

Here is one of the initial signs noticed by the homeowner that indicated an issue with the floor.

A drywall crack forming at the top corner of the doorway indicates the floor under the wall is sagging.

Sagging Main Beam

The main beam was sagging due to sinking support and poor drainage in the crawl space. Wood support posts were in place, but not sufficient to keep the floor stabilized long-term.

Drainage Matting Installed

Drainage matting was installed to help water to drain properly in the crawl space. This is generally the first layer installed in a CleanSpace Encapsulation System, so later on, once resources are available, the space can be fully protected from moisture with a full system installed
