This homeowner in Roslindale, MA gave us a call because the main floor of their home was sagging and they wanted someone to come out to check on their home's structural integrity. Our inspector, Andy, went out to take a look and he noticed that the wooden ceiling beam in the basement was starting to fail which was causing the floor above to slope, so he drew up a solution that would add support to the home. On installation day, our foreman, Kervin, and his crew installed seven of our SmartJack Stabilizers in the basement. The stabilizers are made of galvanized steel so they stay strong don't deteriorate over time. The SmartJacks provide immediate stabilization and can even be adjusted to lift the floor above back its original position. Now the homeowner doesn't have to worry about the structural integrity of their home anymore!
This homeowner in Taunton, MA called in with concerns of a bowing wall in their basement and set up a free estimate. Our inspector visited the home and saw the horizonal crack, indicating the wall was bowing into the basement. Based off of his proposal, our crew installed the PowerBrace Wall Repair System which can stop any further damage to the wall. The PowerBraces can also be tightened over time, potentially reversing the effects of wall failure.
A living room floor in Quincy, MA was sagging down due to the weak supplemental beam under it. As time progressed, the beam started to rot resulting in a loss of strength. This floor needed a permanent solution that will prevent it from sagging down more, and that's why the homeowner called us! We installed our own steel supplemental beam to go alongside the weakened one, and under it we installed 3 SmartJack floor support systems. These steel solutions are fully adjustable and will provide this homeowner the peace of mind he was striving for.
This foundation in North Dartmouth, MA was progressively sinking into the ground. When foundations are faced with this issue, the doors and windows in homes might not properly fit into their frames, there may be uneven floors or the risk of other severe structural damages may occur. Our team installed PushPiers around this foundation to stabilize this foundation in place to put the sinking to a halt! Now, this foundation is being supported by strong steel posts that were driven all the way down until they reached bed rock.
This homeowner in Bridgewater, MA reached out to us because there were visible foundation cracks on the outside of their home. Our inspector, Rick, went to the home to assess the foundation issues and then he drew up a solution for them. Our foreman, Julius, and his crew installed our Push Pier system on installation day. Push Piers are driven deep into the soil beneath the home's foundation to stabilize the structure. Once the Push Piers are in place, they can even be used to lift the foundation and close the cracks. The crew was able to slightly lift the foundation and then they sealed up the visible cracks to close them completely. Now the homeowner no longer has to worry about their home having settlement problems!
