Before and After: Replacing Failing Lally Columns with SmartJack® Posts in Jamestown, OH

In Jamestown, OH, a homeowner faced structural concerns due to failing lally columns in their basement. These traditional steel columns, often concrete-filled, are designed to support significant loads. However, over time, factors like corrosion, inadequate footing, or improper installation can compromise their integrity.

Before:

  • Visible Signs of Failure: The existing lally columns showed signs of rust and deterioration, raising concerns about their load-bearing capacity.

  • Structural Concerns: The homeowner noticed uneven floors and minor cracks in the walls, indicating potential settling issues.

  • Limited Adjustability: Traditional lally columns lack the flexibility to adjust post-installation, making it challenging to address settling problems.

After:

  • Installation of SmartJack® Posts: We replaced the failing lally columns with our SmartJack® system. These galvanized steel posts are designed for crawl space and basement applications, offering superior strength and adjustability.

  • Enhanced Load-Bearing Capacity: SmartJack® posts are engineered to support substantial loads, providing immediate stabilization to the structure.

  • Adjustable Solution: Unlike traditional lally columns, SmartJack® posts can be adjusted over time, allowing for precise leveling and long-term support.

  • Corrosion Resistance: The galvanized coating on SmartJack® posts ensures durability and resistance to moisture-related corrosion.

 

This transformation not only addressed the immediate structural concerns but also provided the homeowner with peace of mind, knowing their basement support system is robust and adaptable for the future.

Job Stories From Jamestown, OH
TripleSafe Sump Pump System to resolve water in Jamestown, OH

A Jamestown, Ohio homeowner was having problems with the basement flooding after a heavy rain.  He called The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati to find a solution to this problem.

The homeowner met with a certified inspector who recommended that a TripleSafe Sump Pump system is installed to resolve this problem for the homeowner.

The TripleSafe Sump Pump System is a three pump system.  Pump one is the primary pump that will be doing the majority of the pumping.  It is a Zoeller 1/3 hp pump.  Pump two is a 1/2 hp high volume pump and it will turn on if pump one fails or becomes overwhelmed by the amount of water both pumps will work at the same time and can pump a total of 6,200 gallons of water out of the basement per hour. Pump three is an UltraSump Battery Back-up Pump this pump will turn on during a power failure and run via battery power.  It comes with its own battery and charging station.  

SuperSump installed in Jamestown, OH

A Jamestown, Ohio homeowner was having problems with water seeping into the basement.  The house was built in the mid-1970's and still has the same homeowner.  He met with one of our certified inspectors who recommended a new sump system is installed.  The system he recommended was The SuperSump Pump System.  The SuperSump Pump System includes a 1/3 hp Zoeller sump pump with a WaterWatch Alarm that will sound when the water reaches the point that the pump should have started, a SuperLiner that will not crack or cave in, and the Airtight Lid that keeps moisture from evaporating back into the basement, quiets the pump, and keeps things from falling into the sump well.  It is strong enough to stand on.
