SmartJack: the effective solution for damaged foundations in Sainte-Françoise-De-Lotbiniere
Challenge
A homeowner in Sainte-Françoise-De-Lotbiniere, Quebec, contacted us to share a problem that had been getting worse for a while. He had noticed cracks in the foundation and felt that the floors were no longer as stable as they used to be. What once seemed like a solid house now showed clear signs of structural problems. When our specialist arrived on site, he conducted a thorough inspection of the house. The main problem was that the crawl space beams and floor joists had weakened, causing the floors to sag and cracks to appear in the foundation. This type of problem is common in older homes, especially those built with poorly supported crawl spaces. If ignored, it can lead to more serious and costly structural damage.
Solution
To solve this problem, we installed our SmartJack system, a proven and reliable solution for reinforcing crawl spaces. SmartJack works by adding strong, adjustable steel support pillars under the house, restoring stability where it is most needed. The difference was immediately noticeable. The floors were raised, the structure stabilized, and the cracks in the foundation no longer posed a threat to the safety of the home. But most importantly, the homeowners felt reassured and confident, knowing that their home was protected by a system designed to last.
