Foundation Repair Photo Album: Crawlspace Floor Support Repair in Lowbanks, Ontario
Veronica, a homeowner in Lowbanks, Ontario, was facing a common but serious structural issue: persistent crawl space moisture that had led to soft, sagging floors.
In the Great Lakes region, prolonged dampness in a crawl space doesn't just cause odors—it actively weakens wooden structural supports. Over time, this results in uneven floors and potentially unsafe living conditions. To protect her home's value and safety, she turned to the local experts at Omni Basement Systems.
The Solution: SmartJack® Crawl Space Support System
To provide a permanent fix for the sagging joists, our team installed the SmartJack® Crawl Space Support System. This industry-leading solution is engineered to outperform traditional concrete or wood shims.
High-Strength Steel: Fully galvanized steel posts resist rust and corrosion in damp environments.
Precision Lifting: The system is adjustable, allowing us to stabilize and, in many cases, lift sagging floors back toward their original position.
Engineered Footing: Each SmartJack sits on a pre-cast concrete footing plate that distributes the home's weight evenly across the soil, preventing future sinking.
