Comprehensive Floor Stabilization and Crawlspace Repair in El Dorado, AR
Persistent Floor Settlement Created Safety and Quality-of-Life Concerns
This project addressed years of worsening floor settlement for a longtime homeowner in El Dorado, Arkansas. After 25 years in the home, the customer had seen her floors slope and dip in multiple rooms, despite several unsuccessful handyman attempts to level them. Major issues included deteriorated rim bands, improperly installed or damaged joists, pieced-together subflooring, and leaning piers beneath main structural beams. These problems contributed to flooding concerns, uneven floors, and a noticeable decline in comfort and peace of mind. The homeowner also struggled with an inadequate bathroom remodel that only corrected surface issues while ignoring structural deficiencies below.
Targeted Structural Repairs Restored Stability and Corrected Hidden Damage
To resolve these long-standing concerns, the team installed a comprehensive SmartJack support system, replaced failing subfloor sections, corrected improper joist work, and adjusted previous over-jacked beams back to their proper elevations. Eight SmartJacks and 40 feet of new beam were added across the living room and kitchen, replacing unsafe blocking and restoring load-bearing integrity. The crew also repaired joists in the bedroom, replaced key sections of the bathroom subfloor, stabilized areas near the hot water heater closet, and provided new structural support beneath floating and weakened walls. Bottle jacks were used to carefully lower sections previously lifted too high, ensuring the home returned to safer, more consistent leveling.
Engineered Methods Delivered Reliable, Long-Term Structural Support
Every solution used on this project—SmartJacks, supplemental beams, sistered joists, and precision subfloor replacement—was chosen to create lasting stability and meet the customer’s goals of safety, quality of life, and long-term peace of mind. These proven foundation repair methods addressed both visible symptoms and the underlying causes of settlement, including incorrectly installed framing, damaged structural components, and years of shifting support. The result was a stronger, more secure home with improved floor performance and a foundation better prepared for future stability.
