Photo Album: Is Your Living Room Turning Into A Bounce House?

Have you ever walked into a room of your home and felt the floor bounce? What about cracks in the walls? Along with cracked tiles and uneven spaces under baseboards, these are all signs that your home’s floor is sagging and that structural issues are developing. This Saco, Maine homeowner noticed these issues and wanted to take care of the problem as soon as possible. System Design Specialist Brian Donnelly worked with the homeowner to rectify the issue and protect their home from any further damage. They worked together to create a solution that would fix the sagging issues and protect the crawl space from outside elements.   To address the sagging floors, SmartJacks were installed with a Steel Supplemental Beam. SmartJacks replaced the current supports, as seen in the photos. The homeowner opted to encapsulate the crawl space with CleanSpace and Spray Foam. With the system installed, outside elements are kept out, and the crawl space can be used for storage without the fear of moisture causing any damage. Groundwater will be removed by the installed SmartSump and taken out of the crawl space through a buried discharge line. To round out the system, the homeowner also decided to purchase a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to keep humidity at a safe level, meaning they will have peace of mind moving forward, knowing that their crawl space is protected and the structural integrity of their home is intact.
