Crawlspace Repair in Pittsburg, New Hampshire, with Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems

Challenge

The homeowner in Pittsburg, New Hampshire, contacted Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems due to significant sagging and structural instability in their crawlspace. The home, which had experienced settling over time, showed signs of foundation issues, including uneven floors and doors that no longer closed properly. Concerned about the long-term impact on their property, the homeowner contacted us for a reliable solution.

The crawlspace beneath the home had become unstable due to the foundation settling. With the home's structural integrity compromised, the homeowner was worried about the potential for further damage and additional costs if the issues were left unaddressed. The existing support beams could not handle the load, leading to sagging floors and misaligned walls.

Solution

After a thorough inspection of the property, our Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems team recommended installing the SmartJack System. The SmartJack system stabilizes and raises the home’s foundation, providing immediate support and long-term stability. Here's the breakdown of the process:

1. Initial Inspection:
   Our team conducted a detailed assessment of the crawlspace, noting areas of sagging and weak support beams. We identified the areas that most needed reinforcement to prevent further damage.

2. SmartJack Installation:
   The SmartJack System was installed in key areas of the crawlspace. These adjustable steel piers are designed to lift and support the foundation, eliminating the sagging issues. The piers were carefully placed and adjusted to the correct height to lift the foundation back into its proper position.

3. Reinforcement and Stabilization:
   Once the SmartJacks were installed, we reinforced the foundation with supplemental support beams to ensure the structure's long-term stability. The system was then tested and calibrated to provide the correct support.

4. Final Inspection and Results:
   Upon completion of the installation, our team conducted a final inspection to ensure the job was done correctly. The homeowner reported a significant improvement in the stability of the floors and walls. The SmartJack System effectively stabilized the crawlspace, and the structural issues were resolved.

The homeowner has peace of mind knowing their home is safe and structurally sound. The SmartJack System resolved the immediate foundation concerns and provided a long-term solution to prevent further settling. The homeowner is no longer worried about future foundation issues, and the home's value has been preserved.
