Crawl Space Stabilizer

What is a Crawl Space Stabilizer Used For?

The Grip-Tite foundation push pier is used to correct foundation settlement. Often times a crawl space stabilizer is used in conjunction to provide a complete foundation repair service.

Crawl space stabilizers are a reliable solution for sagging floor joists and unsupported beams within a crawl space. If a home has been affected by foundation settlement or damage and has a crawl space beneath, this could be the perfect solution. A crawl space is susceptible to just as much damage as the rest of the house and should be inspected regularly.

A crawl space stabilizer works by providing the floor with additional support from below. Your foundation repair expert will go in and install these stabilizers in the crawl space beneath the beam that supports the crawl space joists. Set on a concrete pad and base of compacted stone, the stabilizers provide your floor with support that won’t budge.

Unlike wood posts, these crawl space stabilizers aren’t susceptible to rot, and they won’t settle like masonry piers. Crawl space stabilizers truly are the best option to bring stability and structure back to your floors. Call our team today!
