Crawl Space Repair Products and Supplies

When crawl space structures are allowed to sag, rot, or settle, it can cause problems in the entire house.  A rotting, sagging, or structurally compromised crawl space can lead to sagging or buckling floorboards above, jamming doors, cracking walls, and other structural and cosmetic damages.

Crawl spaces are one part of the load-bearing support system of your home.  When these are improperly designed, improperly installed, or allowed to degrade, it can significantly compromise that system.  These damages can be both immediate and also symptoms that only develop over a long period of time, and are sometimes largely or wholly due to weak supporting soils underneath the home.  These problems will only worsen over time- the best time to repair the foundation as soon as you possibly can.

Crawl Space Floor Jacks

The crawlspace floor jacks provided by Soco Supply are designed to level and stabilize failing crawl space joists or beams.  To best support your home’s weight load solid base of engineered fill will allow the beams to transfer the weight downward to competent supporting strata underneath the home.

These steel beams are adjustable, and in many cases, they can be used to lift and level the floors above.  They’re able to be installed along with your crawl space liner, and they’re the best way to restore the value of your home for resale value as well as to improve your own quality of life.

Unlike concrete support beams, these steel floor jacks can be installed right away, with no need to wait while concrete hardens and cures.  Their convenient portable design also ensures that they can be installed quickly and easily, even in tight spaces.  Steel crawl space floor jacks can be installed quickly- with the full support installation taking a day or two- and their load-bearing capacity is much greater than the concrete columns that are seen in most crawl spaces.

Preserving a Crawl Space

Once you’re repaired your crawl space and leveled the floor again with a crawl space floor jack, be sure to also encapsulate the crawl space and install a crawl space dehumidifier.  This is a cost-effective way to prevent further damage to your rotting crawl space so you can make the most out of your crawl space repair investment.  Contact us today for the crawl space repair materials you need to get started!
