A homeowner in Port Austin, MI wanted to fix up their home so they could pass it on to their child and grandchildren. Unfortunately, the floors on the main level were sagging and there were noticeable settlement issues within the foundation. Those problems needed to be addressed before other repairs and upgrades could be done. The homeowner called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free inspection and estimate.
Erik, a senior project manager, explored the crawl space, basement, and outside of the home to thoroughly grasp the situation. He shared with the homeowner that the best solution would be to use a SmartJack® support system in the crawl space to lift and stabilize the main beam. Supporting the main beam in the proper spots would lift the sagging floors and maintain a level surface on the first floor. The homeowner agreed to let HomeSpec install the SmartJack® supports and was glad that they did. They were happy with the final results and were excited to resume other renovations.
