Photo Album: Sagging Kitchen Floor Solution in Trevorton, PA

Having searched online for a solution to their sagging kitchen floor problems and an expert in foundation repair, a Trevorton, PA homeowner scheduled a free in-home foundation repair estimate with our office. This enabled the homeowner to get a full understanding of the underlying cause of their sagging kitchen floor and the proposed solution by our experienced foundation repair professionals. During the inspection, our foundation repair specialist Tom B., discovered existing support posts in the basement. Tom identified that the support posts were not adequate to support the floors above, and thus the extra weight caused the kitchen floor to sag. In order to properly support the floors above, Tom recommended replacing the old, inadequate posts with SmartJack stabilization posts. A SmartJack Support Jack is an effective, durable solution for leveling sagging floors due to inadequate or insufficient support.SmartJack posts are made with heavy-duty steel, which is much stronger and more durable than wood posts. Furthermore, they are designed to be installed directly into the ground and they have a much larger surface area than traditional posts, so they can effectively distribute the weight of the floor above them, preventing further sagging. Following Tom's inspection report and explanation of the installation process, the homeowner was eager to have level floors in their kitchen. Tom suggested installing a series of adjustable posts that can be adjusted to the exact height needed to level out the floor. This process was less intrusive than traditional methods and the homeowner was able to have level floors without having to rip up their existing flooring.
