Mold Problems Photo Album: Sagging Crawl Space Solution in Soperton, GA

This home in Soperton, GA had a gap growing in between the floor and the baseboard of the wall. Our inspector did a thorough investigation of the crawl space and found active termites that needed to be addressed before foundation repairs could be made. After the home was treated by a termite company, our inspector was then able to assess the stability of the floor and found that it was still reliably supportive, but it had weakened, causing the floor to sag in the area there was a floor gap. In order to solve this issue, a SmartJack Support System was installed in the area where the floor was sagging. Then that system was used to attempt to lift the floor into a more level position and stabilize it in place.
