Foundation Repair Photo Album: Floor support in Hamilton, ON

Ed needed some support in his Hamilton home. the floors were out of level and needed support. Omni Basement Systems installed Smartjacks along with a supplemental beam. The fully galvanized system will add support tot the floor joists where it is needed. The jacks' are adjustable if the customer needs more leveling at a later date

Green tape marks the spot

The System designer used a strip of green tape to show the installation technician exactly where the beam will go.

Footing

The crew open up the floor where the jack will go and create a footing. this is 2x2x2 feet. filled with gravel which creates the "Bulb of influence"

Jakcs installed

The crew foreman installs the jacks and makes sure they are plumb for the maximum support.

Beam with joist assisit brackets

The beam is installed under the floor joists using the joist assist brackets. The brackets help with the installation by allowing a cord to hold the beam in place but they also spread the load further across the joists.

Floor re-concreted

The floor is finished back again with fresh concrete at the exact same height as before.
