A homeowner in Jersey City, NJ noticed that there was something off with his floors.  He couldn't figure out what was causing his floors to sag. He decided to contact Quality 1st Basement Systems and schedule an appointment for our System Design Specialist to come out and inspect his home.

Our System Design Specialist arrive to the home, on time, and did a full inspection on the house. During the inspection, the specialist noticed that the crawl space beams in the crawl space were sagging which would result in the uneven floors above. He recommended SmartJacks be installed to provide additional support to the beams. This would prevent future movement and protect the floor above. The homeowner wanted peace of mind that the crawl space structure and floor would be stabilized and so he agreed that the system would be the best solution for his concerns. 

Our crew arrived to the home early, and they began the repair. To help support the beam from sagging, our crew installed multiple Smart Jacks along the beams. Once all the Smart Jacks were installed, the beams were completely repaired, and sagging seized to continue. Since then, the homeowner did not have any problems in his home, thus making his completely satisfied. 

Push Piers were installed in Jersey City home as there was noticeable foundation cracks. The homeowner felt the floor was slanted as the foundation was sinking. Push Pier Systems utilize high-strength round steel tube sections and a load transfer bracket to stabilize and/or lift sinking or settling foundations. The foundation bracket is secured against the existing footing and pier sections are driven hydraulically through the foundation bracket and into the soil below using the combined structural weight and any contributory soil load as resistance. The homeowner was happy to know the foundation of the home was stabilized and safe to live in.
