Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Sagging Floors and Cracked Walls Resolved with Crawl Space Stabilization in Forrest City, AR

Michael V. of Forrest City, AR contacted us after spotting drywall cracks forming along the front and northwest corner of his home. Having dealt with a broken TJI joist and crawl space repairs under the kitchen back in 2019, he initially suspected condensation from the AC trunk line was to blame. However, a thorough inspection revealed that high humidity levels—caused by fiberglass insulation between the TJI joists and a plastic vapor barrier on the ground—had led to mold growth and structural weakening in the crawl space. This resulted in sagging floors and wall cracks. Determined to fix the issue at its source, Michael took it upon himself to remove the existing insulation and vapor barrier. From there, our team stepped in to stabilize the structure by installing supplemental beams and SmartJacks® to lift and support the floor. We also sistered the compromised 11" TJI joists where needed to restore structural integrity. To create a long-term moisture solution, Michael chose a full crawl space encapsulation system. Given the size of the crawl space, we installed two sump pumps and two dehumidifiers—one at each end—to manage humidity and prevent future damage. Thanks to this comprehensive approach, Michael’s home is now both structurally sound and protected from moisture-related issues. He was so satisfied with the outcome that he gave us a 10 out of 10 on his post-project survey. His confidence in our team underscores the quality of the solution and the professionalism with which it was delivered. Seeing signs of floor sag or wall cracks?
