This Chapel Hill crawl space underwent a full transformation with the installation of helical piers and a CleanSpace vapor barrier system. The helical piers were strategically installed beneath the foundation to permanently stabilize and support the structure, addressing signs of settlement and preventing future movement. Once stabilization was complete, the crawl space was encapsulated with a CleanSpace vapor barriercreating a sealed, moisture-controlled environment. This system not only improves air quality and energy efficiency but also protects the home from mold, humidity, and structural damage.
Our team installed a SmartJack support post in this Chapel Hill, NC crawl space to stabilize and lift sagging floors. This adjustable steel support system is designed to restore structural integrity and provide long-term support to weakened floor joists.
With a secure base and precision installation, the SmartJack system helps eliminate bounce, improve floor stability, and protect the home’s foundation for years to come.
This Chapel Hill, NC crawl space was showing symptoms of concern high moisture levels, exposed dirt, and weakened floor support. The sagging insulation and damp environment were clear signs that the crawl space was not properly sealed or supported, which can lead to mold growth, poor air quality, and uneven floors inside the home.
To solve these issues, our team installed a full encapsulation system along with SmartJack support posts to stabilize the floors above. The encapsulation sealed out ground moisture with a durable vapor barrier, while the SmartJacks provided reliable, adjustable support to address sagging beams. Together, these solutions protect the crawl space from humidity, improve energy efficiency, and restore the structural integrity of the home.
Now, this Chapel Hill crawl space is clean, dry, and structurally sound providing long-term protection and peace of mind for the homeowner.
This Chapel Hill, NC crawl space was struggling with weak support posts and an aging moisture barrier that no longer protected the home from humidity or shifting soils. The original wooden posts and thin plastic liner were allowing movement in the floors above and contributing to moisture concerns.
Our team installed new, durable SmartJack support posts to permanently stabilize the floors and provide adjustable, long-term strength.
This Chapel Hill, NC home was showing signs of foundation settlement along the exterior wall, including uneven support and concerns about long-term structural stability. Settlement often occurs when soil beneath the foundation becomes weak or shifts due to moisture changes, erosion, or poor load-bearing capacity. Left unaddressed, these conditions can lead to cracking brickwork, sticking windows or doors, and continued foundation movement.
To permanently stabilize the foundation, our team installed helical piers along the affected areas of the home. These steel piers are mechanically driven deep into stable, load-bearing soil, bypassing weak surface soils. Once secured, the piers transfer the weight of the home to solid ground, providing immediate support and helping prevent further settlement.
