Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems Replaces Failing Support Posts in Bradford, New Hampshire
Challenge
A homeowner in Bradford, New Hampshire, was facing a severe structural issue with their home: a failing lolly column support post in the basement. The lolly column, installed initially to hold up the home's floor joists, had deteriorated over time and could no longer provide the necessary support. As a result, the homeowner began to notice uneven floors, doors that wouldn't close properly, and a general sense that something was wrong with the structure. They decided to call Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems for help, as they were concerned about the potential risk to the home's stability.
Solution
After a thorough inspection, the Northern Basement Systems team determined that the failing lolly column could be replaced with a more permanent and reliable solution: the SmartJack® System. The SmartJack® System is designed to lift and stabilize sagging or settling floors by providing additional support to the foundation.
The team removed the old lolly column and installed SmartJack® support posts under the floor joists where the failing post had been. The SmartJacks® are adjustable heavy-duty steel columns, allowing for precise leveling and stabilization of the structure. They provide immediate support to the home and can be fine-tuned over time to ensure that the floor remains level and the foundation stays strong. The installation of the SmartJack® System successfully stabilized the house, preventing further settling and correcting the uneven floors. The homeowner was relieved to have a permanent solution in place, knowing that the SmartJacks® would continue to support the floor structure for years to come. Not only did the system restore the home's structural integrity, but it also gave the homeowner peace of mind, knowing their foundation was secure.
For any homeowners dealing with failing support posts or sagging floors, the SmartJack® System provides a reliable and long-term solution.
