When Ryan bought his home five years ago, the home inspector gave him a heads-up: “Within the next ten years, you'll need to address the temporary supports holding up the structure.”
At the time, it didn’t seem urgent. The screw jacks had done their job—until recently.
One weekend, while working in his basement, Ryan felt it. The floor shifted slightly underfoot, and that lingering comment from the inspector echoed in his mind. He knew the time had come. After five years, it was no longer something he could ignore—his home needed real support.
To fix the problem, we started by jackhammering the basement floor to make room for our precast concrete footings. Once those were set, we temporarily supported the home to safely remove the old screw jacks and replace them with our engineered SmartJack system. Each SmartJack was topped with a solid metal plate to provide long-term, reliable support.
Because Ryan’s floor joists were in decent shape—just cracked, not rotted—we didn’t need to fully sister them. Instead, we cut custom three-foot sections of 2x8 lumber, scabbing each joist with precise reinforcement to restore their strength without overbuilding.
Today, Ryan’s home stands solid. No more worrying if the floor will dip. No more wondering if the house is holding on by a thread.
Thanks to our proven systems and patented products, Ryan can finally rest easy in a home that feels safe, stable, and built to last.
Our crews replaced the foundation that was no longer able to safely support this Gardiner home. The blocks were laid, then we applied a waterproofing coating and liner to help water drain away from the home.
This home's foundation was unsafe and needed to be rebuilt. We temporarily rasied up the house on our Foundation Supportworks Piers to make it safe to work under the home. Our owner, Dale Giraudin, personally came to the job site and built the new wall himself!
This home in Gardiner, NY needed a new foundation built and a gravity drainage line installed. Our installers take great care when working with heavy machinery around the home, and do their best to clean up as much as possible!
After completing an interior remodel project in their home these homeowners realized that there was an issue with their home. More specifically that their stove was crooked, and throughout the entirety of their home, they had issues with bouncy and creaking floors. What they didn't realize until they went exploring was that between the right rear wall of their home they had a large crack, which was due to the home settling. Due to the settlement of the home, the cracks were spreading into their home through the sheetrock. As well they noticed that the front right corner of the house had a crack that seemed to be causing the same damage to the front of the home as the crack in the back was doing
For us to save their home before it was too late, we excavated around the perimeter of their home and installed 12 Stabil-Loc push pier systems, which spaned from the corner of their porch to the backside of their home past their sliding glass door. Once our systems were in place we then backfilled the excavation area and roughly graded it.
By implementing our piering system we were able to lift, level, stabilize and true their home to the best of our ability. During the lifting process while standing on the deck the homeowner could notice a significant difference almost immediately with the small amount of lifting that we had done before their project was fully completed. They could not have been happier with the outcome of their project, but more importantly, they are so glad that they do not have to worry at night about whether or not their home is going to fall over.
