Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Support Posts Make Livonia, MI Home Safe for Sale

A Livonia, MI homeowner decided it was time to sell and move somewhere new. They worked with a relative who was a realtor to help make the process flow smoothly. Meanwhile, a different realtor was helping their own family member buy a new house. These two realtors shared a common goal, to make sure the home was structurally sound. This would help both the buyer and seller feel more comfortable, knowing that the house was safe and healthy. They were specifically interested in an estimate for crawl space support jack replacement. The realtors agreed that HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair should inspect the crawl space and determine if any work was required. Mark, one of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, was scheduled for this appointment. He spoke with the homeowner and learned in greater detail what they were worried about. Mark then went into the crawl space and looked for signs of problems. He found the house was being stabilized with cinderblocks, which were not a stable option. They can erode and crumble, allowing the house to sink over time. Mark returned to the homeowner and shared what he had seen as well as his recommendation. He proposed installing SmartJack® support posts, steel posts that stabilize the home and prevent problems associated with the home settling. The homeowner agreed with this plan and prepared to have a HomeSpec crew install the SmartJack® support posts. This project was overseen by a foreman named Jon and it was completed as discussed.
