Before & After Photos

This homeowner contacted Basement System of New York because they had a local contractor sister their floor joists, as well as shimmed their support beams. In theory, everything should have been level, unfortunately to their dismay, their floors still continued to sag and sink in several areas. 

To take care of the issues at hand, we first started by removing the old fiberglass insulation from their floor joist for our new support systems. Once this was completed we installed twenty-four feet of four-inch I-beams on each side of their old main girder for supplemental floor support, along with five of our SmartJack support systems with pre-cast footings. We then replace their old main girder with a new triple two by ten girder with five SmartJack support systems with pre-cast footings. Finally, before encapsulating the crawl space in our drain mat with CleanSpace and applying three inches of Closed-Cell spray foam on walls and box beam we lifted, leveled, and fully supported the home. 

In performing this project, we were able to make this home structurally sound and comfortable home again. More importantly than anything, we were able to restore peace of mind to the homeowners. They could not be happier with the result of their project and how much more comfortable their home now feels thanks to the work that we completed.  

These homeowners' dream of owning a cabin on the mountainside in Big Indian, New York, turned into a nightmare when they discovered worrisome structural issues. Fearful that their beloved home might eventually slide off the mountain due to poor construction, soil degradation, and water erosion, they sought professional assistance.

Upon inspection, we identified critical problems caused by the failing block piering system. To secure the safety of our team, we initiated temporary support for the cabin before commencing work. Our first step was the meticulous removal of the old block piers.

To ensure a lasting solution, we dug deep into the earth to create solid footings for our SmartJack systems. These sturdy poured footings were strategically placed at the front and center of the cabin, providing strong bases for the SmartJack installations.

In addition, we addressed the issue at the very back of the crawl space by replacing their old main girder with a new triple main girder. This is supported by our SmartJacks, this reinforced girder significantly improved the overall stability of the cabin.

The threat of water penetration was also eliminated by pouring a robust concrete wall at the back of the crawl space. This proactive measure ensured that the homeowners' cherished abode would remain safeguarded from future water-related damages.

Since the completion of this transformative project, the homeowners have experienced a remarkable improvement in their cabin's structural integrity. The SmartJack systems and reinforced girders have provided unprecedented stability, putting their worries to rest.

Our dedicated efforts not only saved their home from potential disaster but, more importantly, restored the homeowners' peace of mind. With confidence in their cabin's structural reliability, they can now fully enjoy their mountain retreat without fear or apprehension.

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!
