SmartJack® Lifts and Stabilizes Sagging Floors in Highland, MI Home

Have you ever been worried about your house falling apart? Many people reach their breaking point before their home completely breaks down. In this case, a homeowner in Highland, MI could no longer stand the symptoms of settlement plaguing their home. Some of the signs the home was settling included cracks in the walls of the garage and bedroom, floors sagging and sloping, and doors and windows had become difficult to open. The homeowner was mostly concerned that the beam in the garage under the bedroom would worsen and the results would be catastrophic. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to see how these issues could be remedied.

Mark, a senior project manager from HomeSpec, went out to the house to inspect the problems and discuss the homeowner’s concerns. After looking inside and outside, Mark recommended using using two SmartJack® posts to stabilize the beam in the garage instead of the singular one already installed. He also recommended using three SmartJack® posts in the crawl space to offer more support throughout the house and address other problem spots. The crawl space could also benefit from being insulated using SilverGlo™ and then encapsulated using CleanSpace® to reassure other worries about moisture and mold. After listening to Mark’s presentation, the homeowner was prepared to move forward with HomeSpec’s repairs. Two teams led by foremen Jim and Fred installed the products. They kept the homeowner informed as repairs progressed and did a walk-through to review the completed work. The homeowner was happy to see their home in better condition.
