Older basements tend to have old, worn, unstable support systems in place to keep the foundation in place. Wooden beams were often used to hold up the ceiling of the basement and thus the rest of the house, however wood is not a good choice if you’re looking for a long-lasting solution because it is not durable or strong enough. If you’re looking to replace the wood beams in your basement or give your foundation a boost in general, SmartJacks is your answer! These steel piers are fully adjustable, able to fit any space. SmartJacks are incredibly strong and durable, meaning they’ll fix your sagging floors without making you worry about them rotting or shifting like wooden beams do!
Cracks in the basement wall can mean trouble for your foundation, but also for the overall health of your basement. When cracks open up, it sends an invitation for water to move right in with little to no resistance. To permanently cover up even the largest cracks and keep water from pouring in, try FlexiSpan! FlexiSpan involves a three-part process that starts with applying a flexible sealant along the full length of the crack. Next, a strip of flexible and porous foam is installed over the crack. Finally, an impermeable membrane is attached to the wall on both sides of the foam strip, providing a strong, durable seal that won’t allow the water to come creeping back in. Take a look at the difference FlexiSpan makes in this basement!

This customer was experiencing sagging floors and a decline in foundation support. A problem like this originates from below, either in the crawl space or basement (depending on the design of the house). In the case of this house, it was a rather old crawl space, so it was only natural that its condition was not the best. But with the help of a couple supplemental beams and SmartJacks, the foundation got a huge boost and the floors above received the support they needed. SmartJacks are easy to install and custom-fitted for every crawl space. Made of a zinc-material, they are durable and water resistant, meaning you can rely on them to not give out. Not only do they assist the foundation in holding up what’s overhead, but they also lift the floor back to its original position, removing the stress of saggy, bouncy floors!
