Eliminating Foundation Settlement In Ardmore, PA

Challenge

Recently in Ardmore, PA, a homeowner began to notice concerning signs of foundation settlement in their crawl space. Uneven floors, cracks in the walls, and noticeable structural instability were all indications that the foundation was shifting. The homeowner’s concerns grew as the issues worsened, with the floors above the crawl space starting to sag. Fearing that the situation would only get worse over time and potentially cause more significant damage to the home, they decided to take action and reach out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a professional evaluation.

Solution

Upon receiving the request, our team promptly sent out a System Design Specialist to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the crawl space. The specialist thoroughly assessed the foundation’s condition, identifying the sagging beams and weakened structural areas that were contributing to the instability. After a detailed evaluation, the specialist recommended the installation of our patented SmartJack Reinforcement System. This system is designed to provide strong, adjustable support, stabilizing the crawl space beams and halting further settlement. With this solution, the homeowner would have peace of mind knowing their foundation would be secured for the long term.

Our crew arrived and expertly installed the SmartJack System, placing the galvanized steel jacks beneath the sagging beams to provide immediate stabilization and support. The jacks were adjusted to restore the beams to their original position, lifting and leveling the crawl space. Once installed, the system effectively stabilized the foundation, halting any further movement. As a result, the homeowner was able to enjoy a dry, stable, and healthy crawl space once again, free from concerns about foundation settlement. With the SmartJack system in place, their home was protected, and the crawl space was restored to a safe and inviting environment!
