Floor Stabilized in Caldwell, NJ

A homeowner in Caldwell, New Jersey was looking to support their crawl space. A crawl space might need support for many issues. One of the main issues to look out for would be sagging or bouncing floors. Since crawl spaces are often unsealed from the Earth, moisture and humidity is a problem. When the wood is exposed to this, it begins to rot, mold, and become weak. This means, the floor joists are unable to continue supporting the weight of the home. The homeowner called Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Joe Mancini, provided an inspection of the home. Joe suggested they install a steel support system to be placed in the crawl space. Our foreman, Wilver Cardoza, installed The Smart Jack System. This is done by digging two feet of soil where the SmartJacks will be placed. The SmartJacks are assembled and then connected to the support beam, and the system is tightened in place. The support beam and floor joists are stabilized and leveled. These steel support systems do not replace the existing columns and piers, but add strength and stability to what is there.
