Stronger Floors with Professional Crawl Space Jack Installation
If you’ve noticed sagging floors, uneven rooms, or gaps between your walls and ceilings, chances are your crawl space needs attention. AMC911’s crawl space jack installation service delivers engineered structural support designed to restore your home’s stability and prevent additional structural damage. Our adjustable steel support system handles heavy loads, lifts floor joists back toward their original position, and provides a long-term solution for homes in Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach, and surrounding areas.
What Exactly Is a Crawl Space Jack?
A crawl space jack, sometimes called a support jack or screw jack, is a device designed to provide supplemental support under your home. These support columns are installed on concrete footings beneath beams and floor joists to transfer vertical loads safely into the soil.
Why Our Jacks Outperform Traditional Options
Traditional Screw Jack:
Typical screw jacks are often made from thin, painted metal that lacks long-term durability. With pier shafts ranging between just 2 and 3 inches in diameter, their capacity tops out between 9,500 and 30,000 pounds. While they may provide a short-term fix for sagging crawl spaces, these lighter materials are more prone to corrosion and shifting, especially under heavy loads or in damp conditions common to crawl spaces across Hampton Roads.
AMC911 Crawl Space Support Jacks
AMC911 crawl space support jacks are built to a much higher standard. Crafted from quadruple-galvanized, thick-wall steel, our piers feature shafts 3.5 to 4 inches in diameter and can support up to 60,000 pounds. This high-strength construction resists corrosion, handles heavy loads with ease, and offers precise adjustability to lift floors back toward their original position. Installed on compacted gravel and concrete footings, our crawl space support system creates a permanent structural solution that stabilizes beams, strengthens old joists, and keeps your floors level for decades.
Signs You Need Crawl Space Jack Installation
Your crawl space is out of sight, but it directly affects your home’s safety and comfort. Schedule an inspection if you notice:
- Uneven floors or rooms that slope to one side
- Sagging crawl space beams or bouncy floors
- Gaps between walls and floors or ceilings
- Sticking windows or doors caused by shifting support posts
- Visible water damage or weak soil under your home
How AMC911 Installs Crawl Space Support Jacks
Our crawl space jack installation process is engineered for precision and lasting results:
- Preparation – We clear debris from the crawl space and prepare footing pad bases.
- Concrete Footings – Excavated holes are filled with compacted gravel to distribute weight evenly into the soil.
- Cut to Fit – Each steel jack post is cut to size for a perfect fit under the girder beam.
- Assembly – Adjustable support beams and heads are installed on the concrete footing.
- Placement – Crawl space support posts are spaced no more than six feet apart and aligned with beam joints.
- Final Lift – Our team gradually tightens each jack in sequence to restore floors back toward their original position without stressing individual supports.

FAQs About Crawl Space Jack Installation
Are crawl space jacks a permanent solution?
Yes, when installed on proper concrete footings and made from galvanized steel, crawl space jacks provide long-term structural support. AMC911’s jacks are engineered for durability and high strength.
How much weight can your support jacks hold?
Our adjustable steel jacks can handle up to 60,000 pounds, making them ideal for supporting heavy loads from beams and floor joists in larger homes.
Do crawl space jacks fix sagging floors immediately?
Our process allows gradual adjustment. We carefully tighten each support jack to lift the floors back toward their original position without stressing the structure.
Can crawl space jacks help with moisture problems?
While jacks provide structural support, moisture issues require additional systems. We often pair crawl space jack installation with a moisture barrier system, sump pump, or waterproofing to prevent further damage.
How much does installation cost?
Our crawl space support jack installations start around $5,000, but the price depends on access, soil conditions, and whether old joists or beams need replacement.
