SmartJack Structural Repair for a Camp in Gilford, New Hampshire | Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems
Challenge
A camp in Gilford, New Hampshire needed additional support beneath its floor system. Inadequate support in a crawl space can allow floor framing to sag or move over time, affecting the floors and structure above. Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems inspected the crawl space, floor framing, existing support locations, and conditions beneath the structure. We determined that the SmartJack Crawl Space Support System could provide the additional structural support needed beneath the affected areas.
Solution
Our crew installed the SmartJack System beneath the camp's floor structure. The system uses engineered steel components to transfer the floor system's weight through the support columns to stable bases below. The SmartJack columns are adjustable, allowing them to be properly fitted beneath the structure and provide permanent stabilization. Where conditions allow, the system can also help improve areas of the floor system that have sagged or settled.
Products Installed
• SmartJack System – An engineered crawl space support system featuring adjustable steel columns positioned beneath the floor structure to provide permanent stabilization.
• Steel Support Beams – Installed beneath the existing floor framing to distribute structural loads across the SmartJack supports and provide dependable support to the affected area.
• Engineered Support Bases – Each SmartJack is positioned on a stable base designed to properly transfer structural loads below the crawl space.
The camp now has an engineered support system beneath the affected floor structure. Instead of relying on inadequate or temporary supports, the SmartJack System provides a durable, adjustable solution designed for long-term stabilization. SmartJack allowed Northern Basement Systems to address this Gilford camp's structural needs from beneath the building, providing dependable support while preserving the property above.
