SMARTJACK AND POWERBRACE™ SOLUTIONS FOR LASTING STABILITY
Recently, in Luck, WI, we worked with a homeowner who noticed noticeably higher humidity levels inside their home. Eager to protect the health and integrity of their unconditioned lower footprint, they reached out to DBS seeking a proactive engineering solution to ensure their crawl space was properly sealed and stabilized before moving forward with a full waterproofing encapsulation.
Recently, in Luck, WI, we worked with a homeowner who noticed noticeably higher humidity levels inside their home. Like many in the area, they were concerned about the integrity and health of their crawl space, an often overlooked yet critical area for a home’s overall well-being. The homeowner reached out to us seeking a proactive solution to not only address the humidity but also to ensure their crawl space was properly sealed and stabilized before moving forward with encapsulation.
After contacting our Customer Care team, a home inspection was promptly scheduled. Our System Design Specialist conducted a thorough assessment of the crawl space, identifying key areas requiring immediate attention. Based on the findings, the specialist recommended a tailored solution focused on both immediate impact and long-term stability. This included the installation of SmartJack® to stabilize and lift the sagging beams and floor joists in the crawl space.
In addition to SmartJack®, we also installed PowerBrace™ to reinforce and stabilize the foundation walls. This dual approach ensured both structural integrity and a reduction in humidity levels, creating a healthier environment for the home.
When our experienced production team arrived on site, they carefully installed the SmartJack® system, positioning it for optimal lift and support. The PowerBrace™ system was then strategically placed to secure and stabilize the foundation walls. The result was a significantly more stable and dry crawl space. The homeowner immediately noticed a marked improvement in the humidity levels and the overall air quality inside the home.
By addressing both the stability and moisture concerns before proceeding with full encapsulation, we provided a comprehensive solution that not only enhanced the comfort and health of the living space but potentially increased the home’s value. This project is a testament to our commitment to delivering long-lasting, reliable solutions that prioritize the well-being of homeowners and the structural integrity of their homes.
