Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Preserving a Historic Memphis Home: Smart Foundation Solutions for Long-Term Stability
Erin and James, homeowners in Memphis, TN, noticed troubling signs of structural issues in their historic 1912-era home. Cracks had begun forming in the basement walls and the exterior limestone facade, raising concerns about the home's stability. As busy professionals with no plans to sell, Erin and James wanted to take proactive steps to preserve their home for the long term. However, after recently covering costly plumbing repairs, they needed to carefully consider their next investment in home maintenance.
To address the problem, a customized repair plan was proposed, focusing on stabilizing the floors and controlling moisture in the crawlspace. SmartJacks™ and support beams would be installed beneath the living room to reinforce the structure and reduce the slight floor drop. Additionally, a crawlspace encapsulation was recommended to manage excess moisture, preventing further foundation issues caused by humidity and shifting soil. This comprehensive solution would not only restore stability but also protect the home from future damage.
With the project now moving forward, Shawn and crew were tasked to ensure the necessary repairs would be completed with expert care. By investing in these critical foundation solutions, Erin and James are taking the right steps to secure their home’s integrity for years to come. If you’re noticing cracks, sagging floors, or moisture problems in your home, don’t wait until the damage worsens.
