SmartJack⢠Crawl Space Support Restores Sagging Floors in Bartlett, TN Garage
Problem: Rotting Wood Posts & Structural Floor Failure
Homeowners Stefanie and Zed M. of Bartlett, TN faced serious structural issues in their log cabin–style home. The upstairs office floors were sinking, and the wooden columns in their basement garage had rotted at the base, no longer supporting the home’s weight. The failing posts, tied into the drywall ceiling and load-bearing wall, posed a significant risk. With sagging floors worsening, Zed wanted the unstable wood removed and replaced with a permanent support solution.
Solution: SmartJack™ Installation with Structural Beams
To restore stability, our crew removed the four compromised posts and carefully cut away 15 square feet of drywall to reach the failing wall. We installed two SmartJack™ Crawl Space Support Systems paired with five-foot structural steel beams to transfer weight back onto secure supports. While a longer beam system was not possible due to ceiling studs, the installed jacks immediately stabilized the structure. For full reinforcement, we recommended an additional SmartJack™, though the homeowners opted to preserve access to a nearby door.
Why SmartJack™ Was Essential: Permanent, Adjustable Support
Unlike wooden posts that rot and settle, the SmartJack™ System is made of galvanized steel, engineered to resist corrosion and shifting soils. It can be adjusted over time, ensuring long-term protection against future settling or sagging floors. By replacing temporary supports with SmartJack™, Stefanie and Zed gained a safer home, restored stability in their office and garage, and confidence that their investment is protected for years to come. For homeowners dealing with crawl space issues, our full Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation solutions provide permanent protection against moisture, mold, and structural decay.
