Crawl Space Support Jacks in Tampa Bay, Orlando, Miami and Largo

Permanently stabilize sagging, bouncy floors using engineered steel support jacks that reinforce weakened beams and floor joists.

What Are Structural Support Jacks?

Crawl space support jacks are engineered, adjustable steel posts installed beneath a home to shore up weakened beams and floor joists. They carry loads down to stable footings below, creating a reliable support system for sagging or bouncy floors.

Unlike the hardware-store jack posts intended for temporary or limited applications, LRE Foundation Repair uses structural support jacks engineered for permanent crawl space repair.

Symptoms

Signs It’s Time for Crawl Space Support Jacks

Problems with the beams, joists or columns in your crawl space can show up throughout the rooms above. You may first notice changes in how your floors feel or how your doors and windows operate.

Signs your home may need additional crawl space support include:

These symptoms don’t automatically mean support jacks are the right repair. An inspection can identify what’s causing the movement and whether the existing support system needs to be reinforced.

Our Crawl Space Support Options in Tampa Bay, Orlando, Miami and Largo

  • Adjustable steel support jacks for sagging, sloping and bouncy floors

    SmartJack® Crawl Space Support Jacks

    The SmartJack® system offers permanent support for under-supported or weakened crawl space beams and floor joists. Each adjustable steel post is set on a footing designed to provide a stable base and properly transfer load.

    Once installed, SmartJack posts stabilize the floor system and, where conditions allow, can help lift sagging areas toward a more level position.

    • Permanent support for weakened beams and joists
    • Adjustable to accommodate changing crawl space conditions
    • Can bring floors toward a more level position
    • Zinc-plated and galvanized steel components stand up to rust
    • Engineered to carry substantial residential loads
    • Fast, year-round installation with minimal disruption
    • Covered by LRE Foundation Repair‘s written warranty
  • Repairs Weakened or Damaged Beams and Joists

    Wood Repair and Replacement

    When crawl space beams or floor joists are damaged by rot, mold or other deterioration, adding support alone may not fix the problem. Damaged structural wood may have to be reinforced or replaced to restore its strength.

    Wood repair can be combined with SmartJack® support and moisture-control solutions when multiple issues are affecting the floor system.

    • Reinforces or swaps out damaged beams and floor joists
    • Restores strength to weakened structural framing
    • Can involve sistering new wood alongside existing framing
    • Works with SmartJack support when more stabilization is needed
    • Pairs with encapsulation when moisture contributes to damage

Frequently Asked Questions

Are hardware-store jack posts the same as professionally installed support jacks?2026-10-02T15:22:56-05:00

No. Hardware-store jack posts aren’t necessarily designed or rated as permanent structural repairs. Professional crawl space support systems use engineered components, proper footings and planned placement to support the loads above. A structural repair needs to be selected and installed based on the home’s floor system rather than simply placing adjustable posts beneath areas that appear to sag.

How long do structural support jacks last?2026-10-02T15:22:09-05:00

Professionally installed structural support jacks are meant to be a long-term solution. How long they last depends on the system, materials, installation and crawl space conditions. Systems made with corrosion-resistant steel are specifically designed for the below-home environment. Ask LRE Foundation Repair about the warranty provided with your support system and any recommended inspections or adjustments over time.

Do crawl space support jacks need a concrete footing?2026-10-02T15:21:08-05:00

Support jacks need a stable base capable of transferring the load from the floor system to the ground below. Depending on the system and site conditions, this may involve concrete or other approved footing. Proper footing design and installation matter, because placing a support post directly on inadequate soil or an unsuitable surface may not provide reliable long-term support.

How much do crawl space support jacks cost in Tampa Bay, Orlando, Miami and Largo?2026-10-02T15:19:44-05:00

Crawl space support jack costs vary with the number of jacks needed, crawl space access, installation requirements and the condition of the existing beams and floor joists. Extra wood repair or moisture-control work can also affect the total. LRE Foundation Repair provides free inspections and written estimates, so you know the recommended repair and its cost before work begins. 

How many support jacks does my crawl space need?2026-10-02T15:17:30-05:00

There is no set number of support jacks for every crawl space. The number and placement depend on the size and layout of the floor system, beam spans, loads, existing supports and the areas that need stabilization. A professional inspection can determine where additional support is required and how many jacks are appropriate for your home. 

Can support jacks lift a sagging floor back to level?2026-10-02T15:16:24-05:00

Yes. Adjustable support jacks help lift sagging floors toward a more level position while stabilizing the floor system. How much lift can be achieved depends on the condition of the framing, how long the floor has been sagging and other conditions specific to the home. 

How do you support a floor joist in a crawl space? 2026-10-02T15:15:13-05:00

The right repair depends on why the floor joist is sagging or inadequately supported. A professional might reinforce damaged joists, add support beneath a beam or install adjustable steel support jacks to transfer loads to stable footings below. The floor system should be assessed first to determine whether the joists, beams, existing columns or a combination of components need repair.
