Saving the Sagging Floor in Milroy
Challenge
A homeowner in Milroy, PA, contacted Liberty Basement Systems facing significant issues with their dirt floor basement, including severe moisture problems and a sagging first-floor living space. Recognizing the potential impact on their home's structural integrity, they sought our expertise.
Our process began with our Customer Care Specialist scheduling a comprehensive inspection. Our System Design Specialist then conducted a thorough assessment, pinpointing the precise causes of the moisture and structural concerns. Based on this evaluation, we recommended a strategic solution tailored to the homeowner's specific challenges.
Solution
To effectively stabilize and secure the home, we utilized the SmartJack® System to reinforce the floor joists. This robust system allowed us to lift the sagging floors toward their original position, ensuring stability and longevity. The installation involved setting expertly measured galvanized steel columns on solid foundations to adequately distribute the weight.
Simultaneously, we addressed the moisture issue with the installation of the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. This advanced sump pump offers triple protection, safeguarding against typical failures caused by power loss or mechanical malfunctions, ensuring continuous operation even in adverse conditions.
Upon completion of the installation, our team diligently cleaned the work area, leaving the homeowner with both peace of mind and a significantly improved basement environment. Our intervention not only stopped the existing damage but also provided a reliable, long-lasting solution. As always, at Liberty Basement Systems, our commitment is to provide a remarkable customer experience and dependable solutions for your home's needs.
