Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Permanent Floor Stabilization in Forrest City, AR Helps Homeowners Reclaim Their Renovation Plans

Sharon and Richard D. of Forrest City, AR purchased their home four years ago with dreams of renovating and eventually moving in. Unfortunately, despite hiring multiple contractors and handymen over the years, the foundation issues persisted—especially uneven floors that were holding up their progress. When their flooring company recently recommended leveling the subfloor before any further renovations could continue, they knew it was time for a permanent solution they could count on. Our inspection revealed that the crawl space had limited clearance (about 20 inches) and high moisture levels near 19%. The main support beam was sagging between piers, though it remained structurally sound. To address the deflection, we installed six SmartJacks between the piers to restore support and stability. In the front bedroom, we found a makeshift supplemental beam with a crushed top and two broken joists. We replaced the damaged 6x12 joists and subfloor, including areas under two closets and beneath the furnace. Additionally, we sistered three joists nearby for added strength. In the kitchen, we installed 15 feet of new supplemental beam with three SmartJacks, stopping just before a gas line in the wall it shares with the bathroom. From there, we continued five feet into the bathroom with one additional SmartJack for seamless support. This section of the project was designed to provide lift, particularly in the kitchen where sagging was most pronounced. To further protect the repaired structure, we applied LumberKote for added moisture resistance.
