Smart Jacks fix Sagging Floors in Concord, CA

Ryan S. of Concord CA, noticed cracks on the walls of his crawl space and that the floors of his home were unleveled. After a quick search on the internet, Ryan found NorCal Foundation Support. He decided to call and schedule his free consultation as a homeowner. 

 

The System Design Specialist from NorCal Foundation Support suggested SmartJacks as a replacement for his current jacks, and the CarbonArmor system to repair any cracks within the wall of the crawlspace.  SmartJacks are the perfect solution, they are steel piers designed to stop settling and they can also raise sagging floors back to the proper level, and they’re easily adjustable if future settling occurs. Ryan also found this to be the perfect solution, and decided to go forward with the project. 

 

Ryan has been very happy with this new home improvement and now he won’t have to worry about any future settling issues because if they do occur, the SmartJacks can be easily adjusted to compensate.

Crack in Foundation Wall in Concord, CA

Christina S. living in Concord learned when a NorCal Specialist reported that there were cracks in the walls of her foundation and that her floor system was not properly secured to her foundation. 

 

Christina was told by the Specialist that she needed her house’s floor system to be secured to her foundation in order to prevent any damage to the rest of the house. She asked how she could fix it and the Specialist said the cracks in the foundation could be stabilized with CarbonArmor. It was suggested that the house be stabilized and secured to the foundation using UFP plates along the perimeter of the foundation. 

 

Christina agreed that NorCal Foundation Specialist’s solution sounded exactly like what she wanted and needed for her house. 

 

Christina is excited to feel secure in her now stabilized house and is glad that she got the work done as soon as possible!

Sloping Floors From Termites Fixed With Smart Jacks in Concord, CA

Debra F. of Concord CA, noticed that her floors were sloping due to termites eating away at her wooden support piers in her crawlspace. She decided to hop online to see if there was anything she could do before the damage got any worse. That’s when she found NorCal Foundation Support. She immediately called and scheduled for an inspector to come out and take a look at what she was dealing with.

The Specialist from NorCal Foundation Support saw the damage in the crawlspace, and suggested a SmartJack system that would permanently stabilize the foundation of her home and keep her floors from sinking any further. These SmartJacks stabilize the floors, just like the existing wood footings that were there, but are more permanent because bugs can’t eat through galvanized steel piers! The existing wood beams were fixed so that they weren’t crooked, and a couple were replaced due to too much termite damage. The SmartJacks were placed where the existing footings were to properly stabilize the home.

Debra is very pleased with the work that NorCal Foundation Support provided for her, and she can enjoy her home without having to worry about her floors sinking further!
