Crawl Space Jacks For Homes In Northern California
Stronghold Foundation Repair offers dependable crawl space jacks designed to safeguard your property from long-term damage and improve its structural stability. Whether you’re dealing with wood rot, excessive moisture, or a settling foundation, we’re here to provide assistance.
What Are Crawl Space Jacks?
Crawl space jacks are structural supports designed primarily to stabilize and reinforce the foundation of a home or building that has a crawl space. Typically made from durable materials such as steel or heavy-duty aluminum, these jacks are adjustable, allowing for precise height adjustments to accommodate uneven floors or sagging beams.
Crawl space jacks are strategically placed to provide crucial support, especially in areas experiencing soil settlement, moisture issues, or age-related wear. The installation of crawl space jacks can prevent structural damage over time by redistributing weight and providing essential support to the compromised areas, thereby enhancing the overall integrity and longevity of the structure.
Proper use and maintenance of these jacks not only improve the safety of the living environment but can also contribute to improved energy efficiency by ensuring that floors remain level, which can reduce drafts and air leaks.
Are You Seeing Signs Of Crawl Space Problems Around Your Home?
Sagging or Uneven Floors
Floors are often an early indication of failing structural supports in the crawl space. As moisture seeps in, the wooden joists can weaken and bend, causing the whole structure to lose stability. We offer specialized solutions like installing crawl space jacks to lift and reinforce your floors, restoring them to a level position.Excess Moisture or Standing Water
Standing water or excess humidity in your crawl space can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and a host of other problems. Our crawl space encapsulation service involves completely sealing the area to keep moisture out, while our vapor barrier installation protects the structure from water damage.Musty Smells or Visible Mold
A damp, moldy crawl space often creates musty smells inside your home. This happens because mold spores spread from the crawl space into your living areas, creating a health hazard for your family. Our team eliminates this risk by encapsulating the crawl space and installing a dehumidifier to control moisture levels.Higher Utility Bills

Causes Of Crawl Space Problems
Construction Practices
Crawl space problems frequently result from a mix of environmental influences and construction shortcomings. A primary culprit is subpar initial construction, where insufficient waterproofing or inadequate ventilation can lead to lasting structural damage.
Drainage Challenges
Poor waterproofing and inadequate drainage systems often allow water to infiltrate the crawl space. This not only worsens existing issues but also creates an environment that accelerates structural deterioration.
Impact of Temperature Changes
Fluctuating seasonal temperatures exacerbate crawl space vulnerabilities. Materials like wood within the crawl space tend to contract during colder months and expand during warmer periods. This cycle of expansion and contraction gradually undermines the structural stability. Additionally, warm, humid summer air can lead to condensation on cooler surfaces within the crawl space, fostering the growth of mold and rot.
Regional Climatic Conditions
Geographical location significantly affects crawl space susceptibility. Homes situated in areas with high water tables, frequent rainstorms, or consistent humidity levels are more prone to moisture-related issues. Properties in regions with a high risk of flooding or standing groundwater often face persistent crawl space moisture challenges, which, if left unaddressed, can compromise the structural integrity of the home.
If these conditions aren’t remedied with preventive measures such as crawl space encapsulation or vapor barriers, the consequences can be severe. Without proper intervention, the damage caused by ongoing moisture accumulation can escalate, weakening the entire structure and resulting in costly repairs.

manpreet samra2024-04-17 I worked with BK’s team. It was true pleasure to work with him. He is knowledgable and super helpful. Would highly recommend him and his team for an foundational and structural work Dustin DeCoursey2024-03-28 When faced with the daunting task of addressing the cracks appearing on our walls, we embarked on the journey of obtaining bids, anticipating a challenging process. Ultimately, we chose to entrust our project to Adam at NorCal RamJack, and it turned out to be an excellent decision. From the outset, Adam demonstrated exceptional professionalism, thoroughly explaining what was necessary and outlining the project details. Upon commencing work, we had the pleasure of meeting Bk and his team, including Justin and James. Their expertise and dedication were evident from the start, as they patiently addressed our queries and provided invaluable insights. Throughout the project, the team at NorCal RamJack consistently exceeded our expectations, going above and beyond to ensure a successful outcome. Now that our project is complete, we are delighted with the results and wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need. Thank you to Adam, Bk, Justin, James, and the entire NorCal RamJack team for their outstanding workmanship and commitment to excellence. Rob Keller2024-03-25 We were experiencing some noise in our floor after an addition and a remodel. Our builder sent out Norcal Ramjack to inspect the issue. Hector quickly identified the issues and then went to work. The work area is very small but he got in there like it was his office. He was diligent and prepared for the job and did great work. Super cool guy. If I have any foundation issues in the future I know I can call Ramjack to fix it. Thanks BK and Hector. Diana Glazer2024-02-10 I could not be more pleased with the professionalism and the experience in which The entire crew at Ram-Jack gave to My sinking 16 foot bridge over my pond. BK showed complete knowledge of what had to be done and I felt confident from the start, that I was in good hands. Danny and his crew came out and basically performed a dance to get the equipment back in my yard. The crew knew exactly what to do. And, When the pilings were finished they put it completely back together. I could not be happier, knowing that I will not have another issue with my Bridge. Thank you to your company for your expertise and knowledge. I would recommend you to anyone facing foundation issues. Ryan Gee2024-01-16 James and his crew have done an exceptional job. They stuck by their timelines and really made the process easy Andrew Canfield2024-01-12 NorCal Ram-Jack saved our bacon on our new home in Chico, CA. The addition (ADU) on the back of our garage had sunk up to 7 inches and the building had a severe slope to it. It looked like a mini- tower of Pisa. The boys from Ram Jack made quick work of it by digging holes at precise locations around the foundation and using hydraulic jacks to push piers down to stable bedrock. They successfully lifted the unit the full 7" to level again and attached the bracket supports to the piers. There was a slight change order due to a cracking/unstable foundation, but despite the challenges, they succeeded. I couldn't be happier with the service and the dedication of the crew. And on top of all that, they offer a lifetime warranty for the stability of the repair. I would definitely use them again if needed in the future. Ashley Campbell2023-11-27 I normally do not post reviews, but after my interactions with Ram Jack I knew I had to say something. From the moment I called Ram Jack in early October, I met with the most professional, knowledgeable, and friendly people to help me with my foundation problem. When I spoke with them, they made me feel that they would be able to fix my issues, no problem. I also never felt pressured to use them as a company, they only wanted to provide me with information. When I met James, to do the initial walk through, he was professional and funny. He was realistic about expectations and provided so much information about our issues, the company, and what exactly they would do. He showed us step by step how exactly they were going to fix the issue and what else needed to be done. Javier was a great foreman, every morning at 7AM he would speak with me about what was going on that day and then would walk the property with my husband as I ran off to work. We always felt confident about what was going on and the fact they only took three days to do the work is amazing! The true hero of the day was the General Manager BK Ammenwerth, not only did he call me with weekly updates just to give me an understanding where they were, what the status of the permits were, who would be coming to the house, what was going to be done, what time table I should be looking at, etc., but he went out of his way to respond to me outside of normal business hours. The shining moment though was last night when I had a water leak outside of the house right where the foundation work was done. I called BK in a panic, and he was able to respond and even though plumbing work was not something Ram Jack normally does, he had his crew go out and fix the issue immediately. BK was able to calm my already shattered nerves and his immediate response made me love working with Ram Jack more! I have already started recommending Ram Jack to my neighbors and friends in our area. Not only for their amazing work but their customer service is above and beyond what someone would expect from anyone.
