Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This Passaic County, NJ home had a sagging beam in the crawl space. The lack of support was causing the first floors to sag, and the home was unstable. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed SmartJack crawl space stabilizers to stabilize and level the floor joists in the crawl space. The floors no longer sag, and the owner feels much safer in her properly supported home

Check out this transformation we did in Ventnor City, NJ! To completely seal the crawl space from the earth's elements, and ensure this space stays healthy and dry all year round,  we completely encapsulated this crawl space area.

The homeowner's peace of mind was restored, and they haven't experienced any other issues in the crawl space.

What began as subtle floor unevenness soon became a clear sign of a deeper structural issue for this Ventnor City, NJ homeowner. Concerned about worsening conditions, they reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for help.

During our inspection, our specialists discovered that prolonged moisture exposure and gradual foundation settlement had caused the crawl space support beams to weaken and deteriorate. This deterioration led to visible bowing in the walls and uneven flooring throughout the home, signaling the need for immediate and permanent structural reinforcement.

To correct the problem and restore stability, our team designed a customized repair solution utilizing our SmartJack Support System. These high-strength, galvanized steel supports were strategically installed on engineered fill bases to ensure a solid, load-bearing foundation. Once in place, the SmartJacks immediately stabilized the crawl space and lifted the floor joists back to their proper position. The result was a structurally sound and level home, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind and confidence in the long-term safety and integrity of their property!

This homeowner from Ventnor City, NJ noticed uneven floors, sticking doors, and sagging beams which are often signs of a weakened crawl space structure. One of our System Design Specialists recommended the SmartJack System, an adjustable steel support designed to stabilize and strengthen floor joists and beams. During installation, SmartJacks are placed on engineered footings to provide solid, lasting support beneath the home. Once in place, they can be precisely adjusted to help restore floors to their original position and prevent further settling. The result is a safer, sturdier foundation and the peace of mind that comes with knowing the structure is properly supported for years to come.
