Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair in Eads, TN

Elizabeth and her husband were eager to purchase their dream in Eads, TN but during their initial walkthrough, they noticed concerning cracks in the walls. A professional home inspection confirmed their suspicions, revealing signs of foundation settlement and standing water in the crawlspace. Built in the mid-1960s, the home had undergone multiple additions over the years, including a back room and a master bedroom, which contributed to structural imbalances. The crawlspace foundation, supported by CMU block walls, lacked adequate reinforcement, leading to sagging floor joists and drywall cracks due to improper weight distribution.   To restore stability, a comprehensive foundation repair plan was implemented. Seven adjustable SmartJacks™ and a 37-foot supplemental beam were installed to support the sagging joists where walls had been placed without proper structural reinforcement. Additionally, the northwest corner of the home, where the original structure and the new foundation wall met, showed signs of settlement. This required push piers to be installed to stabilize the foundation and prevent further shifting. Due to limited crawlspace height, sections of the subfloor had to be removed to gain proper access for the repair work, ensuring a secure and lasting solution.   If you're considering purchasing a home and want peace of mind about its foundation, professional inspections and proactive repairs are essential. Structural issues, if left unaddressed, can lead to costly damage and safety concerns down the road.
