Foundation Repair Photo Album: Stabilizing a Home Addition in Little Rock, AR with SmartJack XT Support System
When a trusted realtor and returning customer contacted us about a structural issue in a Little Rock, AR home she was selling for Rhonda P., we acted quickly. She was concerned about an old deck that had been converted into a room addition, which raised red flags regarding structural integrity. We inspected the property the very next day and confirmed that the existing support columns—suitable only for a deck—were insufficient for the added weight of the new room above.
To properly stabilize the addition and ensure the home sale could move forward, we implemented a permanent foundation solution using our SmartJack XT system, designed specifically for taller crawl space applications. Our crew carefully cut through the existing concrete to install engineered footings, placed a supplemental beam underneath the addition, and installed galvanized SmartJack XT steel supports. While we tightened the system to ensure stability, we did not lift the structure, as there were no existing cracks or signs of settlement in the drywall or around the doors and windows.
This proactive stabilization guarantees the addition is fully supported moving forward, and our approach ensured minimal disruption—there was no need to relocate HVAC units. As a final touch, we left the installation points accessible for any potential warranty servicing. Best of all, the warranty is transferable to the new homeowner. Rhonda P. praised our team for their professionalism, cleanliness, and honesty, stating: “I most definitely would recommend Redeemers Group.”Need structural repair or pre-sale home stabilization?
