Before & After Photos

To be stable, strong and level, the floor above a crawl space requires solid mid-span support that's usually provided by a post-and-beam assembly. But beams are often undersized, and many contractors use wooden posts that can rot, shift and settle. When this happens, floor joists sag and other structural problems occur. The SmartJack system is a foundation repair product that provides a permanent solution to these problems.

This homeowner in South Salem, NY has a floor over their crawlspace that was sagging. They called us at Connecticut Basement Systems to have our Foundation Supportworks Team come out to fix the problem. One of our Sales Consultants, Steve Machniz, went out to estimate their issues. Soon after, one of our Foreman, Sergio Alves, and his crew tackled this project. They installed SmartJacks throughout the crawlspace, making the foundation stronger and straightening out the sagging floors. Now the homeowner can live worry-free knowing their floor is stable. 

In cold climates, winter winds will beat against your basement windows, rapidly pulling heat away from your home. The cold wind can lead to serious energy losses, especially if you have single-paned steel windows. By installing a basement window well with a clear plastic cover, you can hold back those cold winds, protecting your windows and saving you energy.

A homeowner in Seymour, CT had a crawlspace with old support posts that were not supporting the home above. They called us at Connecticut Basement Systems to find a new, permanent solution. One of our Salesmen, Alex Lopez, visited the home to assess the crawlspace and propose our SmartJack solution. 

Soon after, one of our Foremen, Sergio Alves, and his crew would install this job. They installed multiple SmartJacks throughout the crawlspace to ensure maximum stability and support. They will also help level sagging floors and strengthen them. 

With these in place, the homeowner no longer needs to worry about any sagging or unstableness. 

Foundation Supportworks Push Piers are made of steel and are driven deep into the soil beneath a foundation to solve settlement problems. Push piers can be installed inside or outside your foundation walls and are not visible once the repair is complete. Push piers not only stop settlement but lift the foundation back to its original position, closing cracks and improving window and door operation.
