Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: SmartJack® Installation for Unstable Crawl Space in Honey Harbour

Challenge

Maintaining the stability of your home is essential to retaining its value. When the strength gives out and is left unattended, the expense of what could have been a quick fix can be very costly. With that said, these homeowners knew that their crawl space was losing its integrity as their main floor appeared to be sinking. Nevertheless, they put their trust in one of our experienced System Design Specialists to give them a solution that would last.

Robert Langton inspected this job to see what we could offer them. He discovered the home was dealing with a prevalent factor that contributed to the sinking of their floors. The crawl space was dealing with long spans. These areas lack support systems due to the floor joists being spread too far apart for the weight it is supposed to hold.

Solution

A standard solution we implemented was used on this home with our SmartJack® adjustable support system. The SmartJack® will increase the crawl space integrity with its steel posts that are adjustable to all heights. An experienced crew installed several of the SmarJack® and permanently stabilized the floor. The homeowners were pleased they made the right call to fix their investment with Clarke Basement Systems!
