Foundation Repair- Summerside PE
Challenge
At Ridgeback Basement Systems, we recently had the opportunity to assist a homeowner in Summerside, PE with significant foundation issues. The homeowner initially reached out to our Customer Care Specialist seeking a clear evaluation and a solid resolution for the cracks in her foundation and the need for a support beam in her crawl space. Understanding the concern, we promptly scheduled an inspection with our System Design Specialist. Upon inspection, the specialist identified parallel issues impacting the integrity of the structure; the basement walls displayed signs of movement, and the crawl space required additional support to alleviate floor "bounce" and ensure structural stability.
Solution
Leveraging our expertise and proven solutions, we proposed the installation of the PowerBrace™ System to stabilize the basement walls and the SmartJack® System to reinforce the crawl space. Our production team, comprised of skilled foremen and installers, efficiently deployed these solutions. The PowerBrace™ System involved custom-fitting zinc-plated steel beams to the basement height, securing them tightly between the basement floor and first-floor framing. This system not only stabilized the walls but offered potential reversal of wall failure over time. Concurrently, the SmartJack® System was employed to lift and stabilize the crawl space beams and floor joists. We implemented this by installing galvanized steel columns, adjustable for precision lifting and built on solid bases. Through meticulous execution, we delivered a reliable and long-lasting solution, aligning seamlessly with our commitment to providing a remarkable customer experience. With the foundation stabilized and the structural integrity restored, the homeowner can now have confidence in the safety and longevity of her home.
