Basement Repair in Lebanon, New Hampshire, with Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.
Challenge
A homeowner in Lebanon, New Hampshire, noticed uneven flooring and minor cracks in the drywall throughout their house, indicating potential structural problems in the basement. An inspection revealed that the existing support posts in the basement were failing, leading to sagging floors and instability. To address this, Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems team recommended the SmartJack® support system, known for its adjustability and capacity to bear heavy loads.
The basement's existing support posts were suffering from rust and moisture damage, significantly reducing their load-bearing capabilities. As a result, the home’s structure was at risk, and the floors above the basement were beginning to sag. Traditional repair methods would not suffice due to the compromised soil conditions and high moisture levels in the crawl space.
Solution
The Northern Basement Systems team installed the SmartJack® system to provide a permanent and stable solution. The SmartJack® system installation leveled the flooring and restored the home's structural integrity. The homeowner immediately noticed an improvement in the stability of the floors and a reduction in creaks. Moreover, the newly added moisture barrier will help extend the lifespan of the support system and maintain a healthier basement environment.
This project demonstrated the effectiveness of the SmartJack® system for addressing sagging floors and unstable support posts. Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems provided a comprehensive solution, ensuring the homeowner's peace of mind and the long-term stability of their home.
