Clarke Basement Systems Case Studies: Saving This Cottage's Integrity With SmartJacks™, Port Elgin
Challenge
Challenge
Foundation integrity is something you should never take lightly. This home in Port Elgin, Ontario, had a humid crawl space with sagging joists that worried the homeowners, thinking that the house could collapse within itself at any given moment. With our experts at Clarke Basement Systems, we came to the rescue to bring this house back up. Our System Design Specialist, Logan Watson, inspected the home thoroughly and recommended a handful of products to control the humidity and support the home.

Products:
- SmartJacks™: Adjustable steel columns that support and stabilize existing beams in your crawl space. They help distribute the home's weight without having to replace anything.
- CleanSpace®: An encapsulating material that transforms musty, wet basements into a clean, dry space. The technology is quite spectacular.
- Drainage Matting: Channels extra water to its designated sump pump, which is then pumped out of the home.
Our installation crew arrived at the home and went to work. Jose Martinez, one of our most experienced installation specialists, explained the products as he installed them. The homeowners felt completely comfortable knowing their home was in good hands. Our clients were happy with the work and could return to their home to start their spring renovations.
