A homeowner in Portsmouth, New Hampshire recently bought a home and wanted to finish his floors on the first floor. He noticed that the floors were crooked, and wanted to make sure the foundation was strong and supportive before getting any flooring work done.

A Design Specialist completed a free inspection of the home and noticed some issues with the crawl space. The Lally columns were not properly supporting the home and the crawl space was very damp. This results in sinking floors and an uncomfortable living space. Our specialist recommended adding SmartJacks and CleanSpace. SmartJacks replace the Lally Columns and provide support and stability to the entire home. This fixes the crooked and sinking floors, creating a level surface. Our CleanSpace vapor barrier encapsulates the crawl space, which provides protection from mold, critters, drafts, wood rot, and cold floors.

A combination of these systems provided this new homeowner with a strong and healthy crawl space. Our team was happy to offer a permanent solution.
