How to Know If Your Home Needs Crawl Space Jack & Beam Support

If you’ve noticed sloping floors, doors that don’t shut properly, or a general “bounce” in your floors — your home may need more than just cosmetic fixes.

You might need Jack & Beam reinforcement in your crawl space.

At PierPoint Foundation Solutions, we specialize in identifying and correcting load-bearing failures in the hidden parts of your home. And when the existing piers and joists are no longer doing their job, Jack & Beam systems are the right solution.

🔧 What Is Jack & Beam Support?

It’s a structural upgrade that restores sagging floors and failing support systems. It typically involves:

• Steel or engineered beams installed under weakened joists or spans

• Adjustable screw jacks set on reinforced footing pads

• Controlled lifting and leveling of the floor system

This is the same concept used to re-level failing homes — but on a more targeted, under-home scale.

⚠️ Signs You Might Need Jack & Beam Stabilization

These symptoms often appear upstairs, but start underneath:

• Floors feel spongy or uneven

• Doors rub, swing open, or won’t latch

• Gaps form around baseboards or crown molding

• Tiles crack or grout separates in the same spots

• Visible sag in floorboards or thresholds

• Creaking sounds or shifting under load

These are all signs the original floor framing is no longer holding its intended weight.

🛠️ Why Do Crawl Space Supports Fail?

• Moisture exposure: Weakens wood and causes pier pads to sink

• Improper spacing or outdated framing: Old homes weren’t built for today’s loads

• Termite or fungal damage: Eats away at joists and beams

• Soil movement or erosion: Piers shift and lose contact

• Remodeling: Added weight without added support

✅ What PierPoint Does Differently

We don’t just shove a few jacks in and leave.

We perform a full structural review and build a plan that includes:

• Laser-level measurements and floor mapping

• New concrete or engineered footing bases

• Galvanized steel adjustable jacks

• Structural beams (not makeshift lumber)

• Optional subfloor and joist sistering

• Permanent lift with limited disruption above

And unlike DIY options, our system is engineered to last — and backed by a lifetime warranty.
