Crawl Space Jacks Provide Needed Support

While often crawl space repair involves encapsulation and waterproofing, if you work in an area in which a lot of homes have crawl spaces, you know that sometimes they need more than just keeping moisture out: they need structural support. That’s where ECP’s crawl space jacks come into play.

Crawl Space Jacks Provide Positive Support

When a client with a crawl space calls complaining that their floors are starting to sag, there is a good chance that the crawl space’s supports have begun to fail.

ECP’s crawl space jacks let you offer them an economical, quick-to-install option to either replace existing supports that have failed or add additional support to areas of the crawl space that need it.

Not only is jack easy to install in the cramped confines of a crawl space, but it also brings the strength that you associate with ECP’s collection of steel piers. The jacks have an ultimate capacity of 60,000 pounds.

They install underneath the steel or wood space girders, providing stability for not only 

Part of a Complete Crawl Space Solution

If a client requires crawl space encapsulation because of moisture problems, there is a chance that the moisture has weakened the structural supports or joists in the crawl space.

By combining encapsulation with crawl space jacks, you can not only prevent future moisture problems from affecting a client’s crawlspace but also solve one of the biggest problems caused by past moisture problems.

Remove the Need for Concrete or Crushed Gravel

When a crawl space jack is installed, it needs a stable base on which to sit. In some cases, this meant needing to install concrete or crushed gravel within the crawl space.

ECP has an alternative, however. The Earth Contact Products crawl space ground support pads provide an easy-to-install, portable option.

The 24-inch-round pad provides needed support to the crawl space jack, with an ultimate capacity of 9,327 pounds.
