Foundation Repair Photo Album: Sagging Floor Issue Resolved in Fairhaven, MA
This customer owned a home with a stone foundation. In the basement, the floor above was starting to sag down a bit. This caused the customer to call us for a reliable solution. We noticed the lack of structural support under this floor, so our production team installed a steel supplemental beam to help keep the joists stabilized. Under the beam, they installed SmartJack floor support systems to raise this floor back to its even state and were able to permanently stabilize it! For additional protection, we wrapped up a portion of the basement wall with CleanSpace Wall vapor barrier to prevent future mold growth.
Supplemental Beam and SmartJacks!
3 SmartJacks were installed under our supplemental beam. This system is adjustable and won't corrode, making this the perfect solution for this floor!
Bottom of the SmartJacks
For each SmartJack, we made a concrete footing to hold them in place.
Vapor Barrier Installation
In addition, we wrapped up this portion of the basement wall with our CleanSpace Wall vapor barrier. This will stop the outside moisture from coming into this basement. This solution is perfect for preventing mold growth.
