Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Restoring Strength Below: How Mark & Jackie Reclaimed Their Home's Foundation in Brighton, TN

After over 20 years in their Brighton, TN home, Mark and Jackie R. began to notice worsening structural issues beneath their feet. Uneven floors, sagging spots, and rotting wood in the crawl space raised serious concerns—especially in Jackie’s cherished sewing room, where the subfloor had even started to give way. Despite their son’s efforts to stabilize the floors with supplemental support and a dehumidifier, the problems persisted. With peace of mind as their driving force and a desire to remain in their family home long-term, they turned to professional help to ensure their foundation was safe and secure. Our expert team discovered elevated moisture levels in the crawl space—up to 40% in some areas—contributing to significant wood rot. Two major support beams showed deterioration, especially under light pressure, signaling deep structural compromise. We replaced 12 feet of beam along the hallway wall and 22 feet of another beam spanning the length of the house. In Jackie’s back sewing room, we removed and replaced joists and subflooring across a 12x12 area using new 2x8s, carefully working around an offset shower just 8 inches from the wall. These strategic repairs restored both the integrity and safety of the home’s structure. To safeguard the crawl space long-term, we applied a protective lumber coating designed to prevent future rot. While Mark and Jackie plan to add three SmartJacks and a 15-foot supplemental beam across the front bedroom later, financial constraints led them to prioritize the most urgent repairs for now. Their story is a powerful reminder of how proactive foundation repairs preserve not only your home but your peace of mind.Concerned about floor sagging or rotted beams?
