What is the IntelliJack™ Crawl Space Jack?

The IntelliJack™ Crawl Space Jack is a state-of-the-art support system designed to address the structural issues caused by sagging, bouncy, and uneven floors.

These steel support posts are installed beneath the floor joists and attached securely to the support beams above, providing unparalleled stability and strength to the weakened floor structure.

With an allowable load capacity exceeding 24,000 lbs. per jack, the IntelliJack™ system ensures your floors are robustly supported, eliminating bounciness and unevenness. This system is extensively tested and certified to meet the highest industry safety standards.

Unlike traditional support methods, our crawl space jacks are adjustable, allowing for precision alignment and ongoing stability, ensuring your home’s structural integrity is maintained over time.

This crawl space repair is part of a more extensive whole-home solution, aiming not just to fix the immediate problem but to ensure the longevity and safety of your entire house.

Signs You Need Crawl Space Jacks

Recognizing the signs of sagging floors and joist damage is crucial to addressing the issue promptly. Here are some indicators that your home might need crawl space support:

Sagging floors
Bouncy floors
Uneven floors
Creaking noises from the floors
Sticking windows and doors
Drywall cracks in walls or ceilings
Visible sagging from the outside of the house
High indoor humidity
Musty smells from the crawl space

These symptoms suggest that your home’s structural integrity is compromised, and immediate action is needed to prevent further damage and ensure the safety and comfort of your living space.

Is Crawl Space Repair Necessary?

Yes, addressing issues in your crawl space is imperative, as is taking the right approach to repair them. Neglecting signs of sagging and bounciness in your floors can lead to severe structural damage, resulting in higher repair costs and potential safety hazards over time.

Don’t settle for quick fixes from big-box stores. These temporary solutions fail to address the root cause of crawl space problems. Venturing into your crawl space can also be dangerous; leaving the inspection and repairs to trained professionals with the right tools, training, solutions, and protective gear is best.

The IntelliJack™ Crawl Space Jack system is a proactive solution, working to rectify these issues promptly, preventing further damage, and ensuring the longevity of your home’s structure.

As part of Bay Area Underpinning’s whole-home solution, integrating these crawl space jacks into your home’s support system solves the immediate problem. It contributes to the overall stability and safety of your property. Act early to protect your home and save on potential future costs.
