Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Greensboro, Vermont, this homeowner had been dealing with noticeably sagging floors and a “bounce” feeling throughout parts of the home. Over time, weakened support in the basement had caused the main beam to settle, putting stress on the floor system above. After installing a SmartJack® support system, the difference was immediate. The new adjustable steel supports were placed beneath the main beam on a solid, engineered base, allowing the floors above to be carefully lifted and permanently stabilized. Once complete, the home felt solid again—no more bounce, no more sag, just strong, level support where it mattered most.

A crawl space in Newport, Vermont was being supported by old wood posts.  Northern Basement Systems came in and replaced the old wood post with Smart Jacks.  Each SmartJack post rests on a precast concrete pad that is set on a base of compacted stone. This engineered structural system won’t settle like masonry piers can; nor will it rot or shift like a wood post.  All SmartJack parts are protected against rust with a thick galvanized coating.

This is a wall that was bowing and cracking. It was stabilized initially with our wall anchors then secured with our Shotcrete system. Shotcrete is a fiber-reinforced concrete material that is conveyed through a hose and pneumatically projected onto the wall surface.  The wall was reinforced and given structural integrity.

A homeowner in Thetford Center, Vermont, was concerned with the structure of their foundation and called Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems at 855-Dry-Time to perform a free estimate.  After the estimate, the homeowner hired Northern Basement Systems to stabilize the foundation wall permanently.  The team installed a Power Brace System, which will stop any further damage to the wall and possibly straighten it over time.  The homeowner now can be relieved of any concerns of a failing wall.   

When a home in Keene, New Hampshire, needed to provide permanent support to a failing basement wall, they contacted Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.
