A homeowner in Akron, Ohio discovered foundation issues in the crawl space of her home. The brick support posts that were installed years prior to hold up the floor joists had begun to settle and crack, causing structural damage that led to a critical lack of support for the floors above. The Basement Guys® were able to replace these failing supports with durable SmartJack® support posts. Solid galvanized steel beams with adjustable heads are much more resistant to issues like settlement, making them a long-lasting alternative to traditional foundation supports. If your home needs foundation repair in the crawl space or basement, don't hesitate to reach out to The Basement Guys® for a free home service estimate.
This Akron, Ohio crawl space needed new support beams to hold up the weight of the home and the floors above.
The brick and masonry in these support beams were beginning to fail as settlement issues kicked in.
As the brick supports lose structural integrity, their connection to the floor joists above is weakened.
