what is Crawl Space Support?
Crawl space support is a structural solution designed to reinforce the area beneath a home where floors rely on beams and joists for stability. It works by providing dependable support from the ground up, helping transfer the weight of the home safely and evenly to stable soil. By strengthening this critical area, crawl space support helps maintain level floors, reduce movement, and protect the overall structure from long term damage.
What Causes Crawl Space Problems?
Settling Soil Beneath the Home
Settling Soil Beneath the Home
Soil beneath a home can shift, compress, or lose bearing strength over time due to moisture changes and natural ground movement. When this happens, crawl space supports may settle unevenly or no longer provide consistent contact with the structure above. This loss of stability can lead to sagging floors, increased movement, and the need for a crawl space support system to reestablish proper structural support.
Moisture and Poor Drainage
Moisture and Poor Drainage
Improper drainage and seasonal moisture changes are common in crawl spaces and can weaken support areas, creating the need for added structural reinforcement.
Builder Grade Supports
Builder Grade Supports
Some homes were constructed with minimal or temporary supports in the crawl space, which can compress or fail under long term weight.
Compacted or Shifting Support Pads
Compacted or Shifting Support Pads
Concrete pads or block supports in crawl spaces can sink or shift over time, reducing their ability to carry weight and leading to sagging floors above.
Common Issues That Require Crawl Space Support
These issues affect the support beneath the home and may require a crawl space support system to restore strength and stability.

The Best Solution For The Problem
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.
This crawl space support system is unique in that it’s made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel. Because your system will not develop rust, it will remain adjustable for years, should you need to perform future adjustments.
The SmartJack® is available for installation throughout South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama and Georgia, including Charlotte, Columbia, Charleston and nearby areas.
SmartJack® Specifications
- Fast, Year-Round Installation — The SmartJack® can be installed year-round, with installations completing in about a day. There’s no waiting time for concrete to cure!
- Stronger Crawl Space Support — Our crawl space support system can support vertical loads exceeding 60,000 pounds, which is far stronger than conventional concrete repairs.
- Versatile Installation — The SmartJack®’s portable size allows it to be installed in even the tightest of crawl spaces.
- Superior Support — Our support jacks do more than merely halt the downward movement of your floor. The SmartJack® may also be adjusted to try to lift the floor above to its original position.

Why do my floors feel bouncy or uneven?
This issue typically occurs when the wooden beams in your crawl space are undersized or the existing posts have started to rot and shift. The SmartJack system provides solid support to stabilize these beams and eliminate that springy feel for good.
How is the SmartJack® system different from wood or concrete supports?
Unlike wood that rots or concrete that shifts, SmartJack® posts are made of galvanized steel to resist corrosion and moisture. They are the only support jacks specifically designed to address problem soils for a permanent solution.
Can these posts actually lift my sagging floor back to level?
Yes, the system is fully adjustable and designed to straighten sagging floor joists significantly. We can tighten the posts immediately during installation or adjust them over time to achieve additional leveling.
Can I install these SmartJacks® if I want to encapsulate my crawl space?
Absolutely, the SmartJack® system is fully compatible with crawl space vapor barriers and encapsulation systems. This allows you to repair structural issues while simultaneously addressing mold and humidity problems.
