Crawl Space Support Post Replacement in Center Rutland, Vermont | Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems
Challenge
The homeowner in Center Rutland, Vermont, had several aging basement support posts that were showing serious signs of wear. Some of the posts were rusted near the base, and the existing support system was no longer a dependable long-term solution for the floor system above. During the inspection, our team found that the old posts had deteriorated over time and needed to be replaced with a stronger, adjustable support system. The basement also showed signs of uneven and wet floor conditions, making it even more important to install a support system designed for long-term stability.
Solution
Our crew removed the deteriorating support posts and installed new SmartJack® support systems in the basement. Each SmartJack® was positioned beneath areas needing additional support and adjusted to help stabilize the floor system above.
Once the SmartJack® posts were installed, the crew restored the floor around the base areas with fresh concrete. This helped create a cleaner finished installation and gave the new support systems a solid, professional-looking result.
Products Installed
- SmartJack® Support System
The SmartJack® system is designed to stabilize sagging floors and provide strong, adjustable support beneath beams and floor joists. Unlike old, rusted, or makeshift basement posts, SmartJack® uses heavy-duty steel components that can be adjusted to restore support where the home needs it most. - Steel Support Columns
New steel support columns were installed to replace the failing basement posts. These columns provide much stronger, cleaner support than the deteriorating posts previously in place. - Adjustable Top Brackets
Adjustable top brackets were used to connect the SmartJack® posts to the wood beams above. This allows the system to be tightened and fine-tuned as needed, helping to transfer the structure's weight properly through the support post. - Concrete Floor Restoration
