Photo Album: Crawl Space & Bathroom Floor Repair in Heber Springs, AR: Uneven Floors Corrected by Redeemers Group

Problem: Bathroom Floors Sagged from Rot and Failed Crawl Space Jacks in Heber Springs, AR Pat C. in Heber Springs, AR had reported unlevel bathroom floors. Another contractor had “leveled” the home about ten years earlier, but their makeshift supports had failed—one jack near the central air unit had even fallen over. Our inspection identified moisture-damaged framing with rot beneath the bathroom, including compromised joists and subfloor. Per the homeowner’s expectations, we carefully removed and protected the toilet and vanity, and the customer understood the deteriorated bathroom flooring would be replaced to restore structural performance and safety. Solution: 4 SmartJack® Adjustable Steel Supports, 20-ft Supplemental Beam, and 64 LF Joist/Subfloor Replacement We developed a permanent crawl space stabilization plan focused on restoring the load path and eliminating deflection. The crew replaced 64 linear feet of deteriorated joists and the adjoining subfloor, installed a 20-foot supplemental beam under the bathroom, and set four SmartJack® adjustable steel supports—including replacing the failed jack by the HVAC area and adding two supports beneath the bathroom for targeted lift. All components were set on competent bearing and adjusted per manufacturer engineering data and best practices, which restored floor flatness and stiffness and left the bathroom ready for homeowner-selected finish flooring. Why These Methods Mattered: Moisture Root Cause, Stable Load Path & Transferable Protection By removing decayed framing and re-establishing a continuous load path with a supplemental beam and SmartJack® supports, the repair addressed root causes—not just the symptoms of sagging floors. Because chronic crawl space moisture had driven the rot, we also recommended encapsulation, perimeter drainage, and a dehumidification assessment to protect the new framing. The solution aligned with building-science best practices, improved safety and home value in Cleburne County, and was completed to manufacturer specifications and backed by a transferable warranty for lasting peace of mind.
