In Beckley, WV, a homeowner reached out to us with a concern that was starting to impact their daily life. They noticed their floors were beginning to sag, leading to an unsettling feeling and small but annoying household adjustments. With a home project on the horizon, needing an immediate and dependable solution was a priority. After contacting our Appointment Center, a convenient home inspection appointment was set. Our experienced Solution Specialist from Alford Foundation & Crawl Space Repair promptly visited the residence. Performing a thorough inspection, our specialist identified that the root of the problem was weakened floor joists contributing to the troublesome sagging floors.
Following the evaluation, a plan called the SmartJack® System was recommended to stabilize and support the compromised crawl space. Our production team soon arrived onsite, delivering our trusted solution with professionalism and expertise. They installed the SmartJack® System, beginning with the creation of a solid base using engineered fill to ensure stability in the home's foundation soils. Galvanized steel columns were precisely cut, fitted onto durable steel bases, and secured firmly to existing girders. The adjustable top brackets and heavy-duty threaded rods offered flexibility, allowing the floors to be carefully adjusted and lifted towards their original position, effectively eliminating unwanted floor "bounce".
By the job's conclusion, the homeowner's floors were secure and stable once more. With our commitment to a remarkable customer experience and reliable solutions, the residents felt a renewed sense of peace in their home. Their newly stabilized space is now ready for life’s activities, without the worry of sagging floors interrupting their plans.
