Sistering Floor Joists and Replacing The Main Girder On a Home - New Paltz, NY

When this homeowner originally purchased his home back in the 80s he added an addition onto their home to make their almost perfect home perfect. Little did they know that due to putting on the addition due to the soil conditions and many other factors that their home would settle and they would start to have issues with their floors being uneven, not being able to close doors, and bouncy floors. Because of these reasons, he contacted Basement Systems of New York to see what could be done to bring his home back to its former glory. The reason they chose to have us perform the work was due to our level of professionalism, along with our ability to complete projects in an efficient time frame. 

To fix the foundation problems that their home and they were experiencing we needed to dig down six feet to install our sono tubes, these sono tubes would serve as the foundation for our sixteen new SmartJacks that would be installed. We then sistered every 2x6 floor joist with treated lumber. Finally, we installed 165 linear feet of main girders with our steel i-beams. We installed one i-beam on each end and two in the center.

Once all our systems were installed our Installation Specialists methodically and meticulously raised the home to level. With just a small amount of leveling and the doors slowly going back to normal the homeowner was ecstatic, once the entire project was completed he could not believe that his home was now back to how it was when he has first put the addition on.
