If you look carefully in this picture, you'll notice that the wood of the floor joist is beginning to show signs of severe damage due to failing crawl space supports.
As these supports begin to give way, the floors above can sag and interior walls may crack, resulting in expensive problems in your home.
Because it's built directly underneath your home, your crawl space plays a key role in your home's structural integrity. Crawl spaces bear this weight through the foundation walls and crawl space support columns.

In many cases, a failing crawl space structure can be resolved by installing crawl space supports.
At Atlantic Basement Systems, we specialize in crawl space repairs of all types. If you're experiencing a structural problem with your crawl space, we have a solution for you.
The SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizer is an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces.
It not only provides supplemental support to your failing structure -- it can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position.
The SmartJack® is available for installation throughout Ontario, including Orleans, Nepean, Ottawa Brockville, Gloucester, Smiths Falls, Kanata, Vanier, Renfrew, Carleton Place, Greely, Manotick, Elizabethtown, Cumberland, Russell and nearby areas.
