Strengthening the Floors: SmartJack Support Installation in Stamford, NY
Challenge
A Stamford, NY homeowner was dealing with uneven and sagging floors and felt her first floor needed additional support from below. She called Adirondack Basement Systems for a free inspection and estimate. One of our certified design specialists evaluated her floors and beams, the evaluation showed that her home needed extra support to keep the floors and basement structurally sound.
Solution
We recommended SmartJack supports along with supplemental beams. Our crew installed 8 SmartJacks and 20 supplemental beams, working alongside her original beams rather than replacing them. The job started August 24 and was finished August 26.
SmartJacks are adjustable steel support columns that carry the weight of the floor framing above. By adding support where a floor span is carrying too much load, they help reduce bouncing, sagging, and uneven floors, and they ease the strain on the beams and the structure around them. Because they're adjustable, they can be fine-tuned after installation.
