Sagging Floors i- Bayhead, NS

Challenge

Recently, at Ridgeback Basement Systems, we had the opportunity to help a homeowner out in Bayhead, NS, who was facing some worrying signs of wear in their home's foundation. They noticed their floors were beginning to sag and upon a quick investigation of their crawlspace, it became clear the carrying beam had significantly sagged and the joists were over spanned. Understandably, this was causing them a lot of stress. They reached out to our Appointment Center team, worried about the integrity of their home’s foundation, looking for a reliable solution. Our System Design Specialist promptly visited their home for a comprehensive inspection. 

Solution

After careful examination, we recommended installing the SmartJack system - a solid and dependable solution designed to support and stabilize sagging floor joists and beams, essentially lifting the home back to its original position. The homeowners were relieved to have a clear path forward. Our production team, comprising a skilled foreman and diligent installers, arrived at the home ready to tackle the job. They started by carefully preparing the space in the crawlspace, ensuring a stable base for the SmartJacks. The installation process was thorough but efficient. Our team worked diligently, always keen to cause minimal disruption to the homeowner's daily life. In the end, the transformation in the crawlspace—and the peace of mind we provided the homeowner—was immensely gratifying. Not just a temporary fix but a permanent solution, the SmartJack system corrected the sagging beams and over-spanned joists, effectively stabilizing the home's foundation. The homeowner noticed an immediate improvement in the stability of their floors. We left the jobsite clean, matching our high standards of creating a seamless and positive experience for our clients.
