Before & After Photos

A new homeowner in Kempton, PA reached out to us at Liberty Basement Systems after finding a temporary support beam in their home's basement that needed a permanent fix. As seen in the before photo, the temporary solution prompted structural concerns. With precision, we installed the SmartJack System to address weak foundation soils and stabilize the area. Notice the after photo where solid galvanized steel columns are visibly restoring the crawl space to its intended strength. This reliable solution has effectively enhanced structural stability and peace of mind for the homeowners on all fronts.

In Lenhartsville, PA, a homeowner was experiencing noticeable sagging in their first-floor living space, originating from an unsound crawl space foundation as seen in the before photo. This issue not only affected the floor's appearance but also its structural integrity. At Liberty Basement Systems, we addressed this problem by installing our SmartJack® System. The solution involved galvanized steel columns and heavy-duty threaded rods to stabilize and lift the floors to their original elevation. Notice in the after photo, the visible transformation and restored structural soundness, reducing floor 'bounce' and ensuring long-term stability.

Several of the foundation support piers under this building were sunken into the ground, uneven, and even collapsed. These problems are a result of shifting soil and/or erosion caused by water, which caused the piers to move and sink. Stabilizing the foundation permanently with SmartJack Support Posts was the most effective way to ensure the building's safety. 

In order to stabilize and secure the home's stability, foundation repair expert Jason C. and his crew installed foundation push piers. Foundation settlement typically occurs when soil compresses (settles), shrinks, or becomes too wet to support a home. Push piers permanently stabilize the foundation by transferring the weight of the structure to competent soil.
