Floor stabilization in Elmer, New Jersey
This Elmer, New Jersey Homeowner, contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems through the internet to have a foundation specialist out to provide a thorough inspect of their floor joist in their basement. Javier Romero, did a full walkthrough with the homeowner and noticed multiple areas that lacked the proper support to the floor joist. Some of the basement columns were showing serious sign of stress holding the weight of the floor above.
Javier recommended SmartJacks be installed against the floor joist. This system provides additional support to the floor joist and wooden beam to ensure the floor above is secured in place. This prevents damage to the floor, the molding and any damage to the wood such as splitting.
CleanSpace in Wyncote, PA
At this property, the dirt floor crawlspace was under the living room section of the house, which was causing the flood to get cold during the winter months. We encapsulated the area with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier and laid down a drainage matting under the vapor barrier that captures any moisture that seeps in. Then we installed our SilverGlo insulated wall panel that has been infused with graphite to improve its insulating ability to prevent moisture coming in.
