Repairing sagging and bouncy floors Berlin, MD

The homeowner reached out to us because they were tired of dealing with their sagging and bouncy floors. Their biggest concern was not only the floors caving in, but eventually the collapse of the foundation/home. After inspecting the area above and beneath the floors, we recommended a permanent fix. This included smartjack supports and installation of a supplemental beam to ensure the floor would not only be level and supported for the foreseeable future, but to give the homeowner peace of mind about the stability of their floors/home.

The Homeowner was in their crawlspace and noticed a few cracks in the wall. Thankfully none of them were leaking and no water has made its way into the crawlspace/floor area. They gave us a call to come take a look to see what we could do to help give them peace of mind before something were to happen. After taking a look, we realized we could fix the problem using our Flexispan crack repair system.

Lastly, an impermeable membrane is applied to the wall on both sides of the foam strip. This solution allows any future seepage of water move down the wall and into the basements perimeter drainage system without been seen.
