FAQs

Crawl space joists are horizontal structures that support the floor of your home. They are typically made of wood and are susceptible to damage from moisture and pests.

These jacks are installed beneath the failing joists to provide the necessary support and lift, effectively stabilizing the structure and helping to restore level flooring.

The installation can usually be completed in a day, depending on the number of jacks required and the accessibility of the crawl space.
