Foundation Services Case Studies: Sagging Kitchen Floor resolved with SmartJack Floor Support System.

Challenge

A homeowner in Cincinnati called The Basement Doctor to find a solution to a problem they were having with sagging floors in the kitchen of their home.  They reported that the home was built in the 1800s and has a stone foundation.  The homeowner needed to find a solution to this problem so they scheduled an appointment with Roger, a Certified Inspector, who recommended that SmartJack Floor Support System with a supplemental beam is installed to resolve the sagging floor.  

Solution

The SmartJack Floor Support System is a steel pier or piers that are installed in a basement or crawl space and is used to jack up and support a floor that is sagging or creaking.  The Smart Jack is set into a structural stone on the floor, custom cut to size, and installed under the floor to be supported or lifted.  At the top of the SmartJack, there is an adjustable screw that is used to jack up the floor.  Now that the SmartJacks have been installed the floors are stabilized and lifted.  

To find solutions to your sagging and creaking floors, doors or windows that are sticking, or any other foundation problems, call The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati and schedule an appointment with a Certified Inspector.  Our no-pressure approach will help you decide what is right for your home so that you can repair the foundation sooner than later before serious problems arise.  The estimates are free for homeowners.
