What Are House Jacks?
House jacks are adjustable steel support posts that stabilize sagging floors by reinforcing weakened floor joists and beams from below your home. Installed in a crawl space or basement, they transfer structural loads down to a stable foundation beneath your home.
Unlike temporary jack posts or wood supports, engineered house jacks are meant to be a long-term structural repair. They help limit floor movement, improve stability and, in many cases, lift sagging floors closer to their original position.
Every home is different, which is why the right repair starts with a thorough inspection. We'll assess your floor framing, crawl space conditions and structural supports to determine whether house jacks are the best solution for your home.

What Causes Crawl Space Structural Damage?
Crawl space structural damage often develops gradually as moisture, shifting soils and aging materials weaken the floor support system beneath your home. High humidity, poor drainage, freeze-thaw cycles and older vented crawl spaces can all contribute to wood deterioration, settling support posts and unstable soil. Eventually, these conditions may cause floor joists and beams to lose support, leading to sagging, uneven or bouncy floors.

Our Crawl Space Support Solution
There’s always an underlying cause behind a sagging floor, which is why every repair begins with a thorough structural inspection. If weakened floor supports are behind the problem, we’ll recommend a permanent solution designed to stabilize your home’s floor system for the long term.
For stabilizing crawl spaces and sagging floors
SmartJack® House Jack System
The SmartJack® House Jack System is Vesta Foundation Solutions‘s engineered solution for stabilizing sagging floors and strengthening weakened crawl space support systems. Adjustable galvanized steel support posts are installed on a stable base to provide permanent support beneath floor joists and beams, helping reduce floor movement while improving floor levelness.
Every home is different, so every SmartJack® installation begins with a comprehensive structural inspection. We’ll evaluate your crawl space, floor framing and support system to figure out the right placement and number of supports needed for lasting performance. The result is a repair that’s designed specifically for your home’s needs, not a one-size-fits-all fix.
