Crawl Space Structural Repair Project Completed by Our Jersey Shore Office in Villas, NJ
When homeowners think about protecting their home, they often focus on the roof, windows, or exterior siding. However, one of the most important structural areas of any home is hidden underneath it, in the crawl space. At Basements Love Us, we recently completed another successful crawl space structural repair project from our Jersey Shore office in Villas, NJ, helping a homeowner restore the safety and integrity of their home’s foundation.
Our team specializes in all things basement and crawl space issues throughout New Jersey, Delaware, and the Philadelphia Metro Area, including structural repairs, waterproofing, foundation repair, drainage systems, mold remediation, and crawl space restoration.
Customer Contacted Us About Crawl Space Structural Concerns
The homeowner initially reached out to our team after noticing concerns involving uneven flooring and possible sagging within the home. Like many older homes throughout South Jersey and shore communities, structural components within crawl spaces can weaken over time due to age, moisture exposure, shifting foundations, and insufficient support systems.
After scheduling a professional crawl space inspection, our structural repair specialists thoroughly evaluated the area beneath the home.
What We Found During the Crawl Space Inspection
During the inspection, we determined that the existing structural main beam lacked the required supports per code. Over time, this can place excess stress on the beam itself and compromise the stability of the flooring system above.
Without adequate support beneath a structural beam, homeowners may eventually experience:
– Sagging or uneven floors
– Bouncing or soft spots while walking
– Cracks forming in walls or ceilings
– Doors and windows sticking
– Structural shifting over time
Fortunately, the homeowner contacted Basements Love Us before the issue became even more severe.
Our Structural Repair Solution
Once the inspection was completed, our team designed a customized structural reinforcement plan to properly stabilize the crawl space.
Repairing the Existing Structural Beam
The first step involved repairing and reinforcing the existing structural main beam. Our team carefully assessed the condition of the beam and ensured it could properly distribute the weight load of the home once new supports were installed.
Proper beam reinforcement is critical in maintaining the long-term structural integrity of the property.
Installing New Concrete Footings
To properly support the new structural system, our crew poured brand-new concrete footings beneath the crawl space. Concrete footings create a stable and secure foundation for support columns and help evenly distribute the structural load into the ground below.
This step is extremely important because improperly supported columns can eventually shift or settle if adequate footings are not installed beneath them.
New Steel Lally Columns Installed for Maximum Support
After the new concrete footings cured, our team installed new steel lally column supports beneath the structural beam.
Why Steel Lally Columns Matter
Steel lally columns are one of the most reliable support systems used in crawl space structural repair projects. These heavy-duty steel columns are specifically designed to provide long-lasting structural reinforcement beneath sagging or weakened beams.
Benefits of steel lally columns include:
– Increased structural stability
– Long-term support durability
– Resistance to shifting and settling
– Improved floor stability above
– Added protection against future structural movement
Once the installation was complete, the home’s crawl space had the proper support system in place to meet structural requirements and provide peace of mind to the homeowner.
