To permanently repair the sagging floor problem this customer had above their basement, foundation repair foreman Devon Evans and his crew installed a steel supplemental beam and SmartJack Support Posts.
This customer called us here at Atlanta Basement Systems with his garage area being a concern. His number one priority of this job was to get the garage lifted and stabilized. He was also noticing cracks on the outside of the home, the pre-existing ones were getting longer and new cracks had developed. The drywall in the garage was also developing cracks, so he knew this is something that he wanted to get fixed. Once the sales representative completed their inspection, they knew the best option to fix his problem was going to be the lintel lift. For the lintel lift they go through and install a curved steel beam on the sides and into the concrete at the base of the garage. Then, the steel beam is straightened out, and this is what lifts the garage up. The beam is then covered with a decorative piece to hide the steel underneath. They also filled in all of the cracks on the outside of the home, to keep up with aesthetics. This customer was left thoroughly happy with the results of this job.
By installing the PowerBrace Wall Support System, we were able to permanently stabilize this homeowner's bowing foundation wall.
This homeowner reached out to us because he had soft spots in his floor in the hallway, bedroom, and living room. He was worried that it would get worse or that the floors could potentially fall in. The best solution was to install multiple SmartJacks in the crawl space. These will stabilize the floor without weakening over time like wooden supports do. Now this homeowner feels safer knowing that his home is protected.
