Crawlspace Repair- Middleton, NS
Challenge
In Middleton, Nova Scotia, a homeowner faced a growing concern with a bowing foundation. As worries mounted about the structural integrity of their home and the safety of their family, they decided to reach out to us, Ridgeback Basement Systems. After contacting our friendly Customer Care Specialist, an appointment was scheduled for a comprehensive home inspection. Our seasoned System Design Specialist from the Sales Team visited the property promptly, conducting a thorough inspection. They diagnosed the issue as attributable to weakened support in the crawl space area, which had caused the foundation walls to bow.
Solution
To remedy the situation, we recommended the installation of our SmartJack® System. This precise solution is excellent for stabilizing crawl space beams and floor joists. The SmartJack System not only addresses weak foundation soils with an engineered fill base but also uses galvanized steel columns designed to distribute the weight properly. Each component is meticulously set on a steel base, ensuring effectiveness and durability. Upon approval, our production team got to work. They installed SmartJacks, skillfully cutting and setting each galvanized column to stabilize the foundation. Once the columns were secured to supplemental beams through adjustable top brackets, the floor sag was significantly reduced. As a final touch, the team cleaned up, leaving no trace of their presence beyond an impeccably secured foundation. In the end, the homeowner was relieved and satisfied with their fortified home. As they stepped into a future without foundation worries, they knew they had entrusted their home’s safety to a company dedicated to providing remarkable customer experiences and reliable solutions.
