Restoring Basement Support and Structural Stability with SmartJack
Challenge
A homeowner in Aquasco, MD, faced a troubling issue in their relatively new, two-story home. Widespread cracks had begun appearing throughout the property, raising alarm about potential structural instability. Concerned about the safety and long-term integrity of their home, the homeowner contacted NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair to investigate the root cause of these issues.
Upon a detailed inspection conducted by our System Design Specialist, we found that the source of the problem was not foundation settlement, as initially suspected, but insufficient structural support in the basement. This critical area, often overlooked, was compromising the overall stability of the home. Without immediate intervention, the cracking and structural issues would persist, putting the homeowner at greater risk of further damage and escalating repair costs. Identifying a lasting, precise solution became our top priority.
Solution
After diagnosing the issue, we proposed an effective long-term fix using our SmartJack system. SmartJack is a high-strength, adjustable steel pier engineered to restore stability by reinforcing critical support points and halting further sinking.
Our skilled production team, led by an experienced foreman, began the meticulous installation process. The adjustable components of the SmartJack system were carefully positioned to provide maximum reinforcement in the basement, ensuring immediate structural support. The installation was completed efficiently, with minimal disruption to the homeowner's daily life.
Post-installation, the stability of the home was restored, eliminating the risk of further cracking or sinking. To top it off, we left the workspace clean and well-maintained, reflecting our commitment to professionalism.
The homeowner could see the results immediately. The basement now provides the necessary support to keep their home structurally sound for years to come. This project not only resolved urgent concerns but also delivered peace of mind, showcasing NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair’s dedication to providing reliable, expert solutions for structural challenges.
