Stabilizing A Sagging Cabin In Paupack
Challenge
A homeowner in Paupack, PA, faced a common yet critical issue with their charming cabin: sagging floors due to shifting stone supports. This structural compromise not only impacted the aesthetics of their retreat but also eliminated the safe and even footing they once enjoyed, prompting them to seek a durable solution.
Solution
Upon receiving their call, Liberty Basement Systems promptly dispatched a System Design Specialist for a thorough inspection. The diagnosis was clear: the compromised stone supports had weakened the cabin's structural integrity. To address this, the SmartJack® System was recommended. This innovative solution is specifically designed to stabilize crawl space beams and floor joists, offering a robust and adjustable support system.
The installation was efficiently carried out by Liberty Basement Systems' production team. Galvanized steel columns, precisely cut and securely fastened, were placed directly onto specially engineered bases. These SmartJack® columns effectively stabilized the existing girders and provided the crucial flexibility for adjustment. Heavy-duty threaded rods allowed for precise adjustments, restoring the cabin's sagging floors to their original elevation and eliminating any undue bounce.
The results were remarkable. The homeowner was greatly relieved to find their once-sagging floors now stable and level. This successful project in Paupack stands as a testament to Liberty Basement Systems' commitment to providing exceptional customer experiences and resilient solutions tailored to the unique challenges of each home.
