Sagging Floor Fixed in Akeley, MN

Thursday, March 18th, 2021 by Kal Aldrich

Challenge

A sinking floor joist can show signs of constriction and pressure due to how heavy the home is and if it does not enough support posts. This eventually can lead to sagging and uneven floors and damage to the house structure. The sinking can be due to the support columns being too far apart, wood rotted joists, and settling columns due to weak soil. If you see signs of this occurring in your home, call American Waterworks right away to schedule your FREE Estimate.

A homeowner in Akeley, MN was experiencing these exact issues in their home, making them feel nervous to simply walk or be in their own home. So, they called American Waterworks and talked to our office staff about our foundation repair products. After a brief discussion, our team set them up with a FREE Estimate with one of our Design Specialists. Our Design Specialist went to the homeowner's house, carefully inspected the sagging floors, and came up with a solution that would work for them and their home repair needs. The homeowner was confident in our proposal of our SmartJack Support System and got all of their questions answered, so they put down a deposit and got a date scheduled for their foundation repair project.

Solution

Our Foreman and their production crew began the process by introducing themselves to the homeowner and ensuring all of their questions were answered before getting to work. After a clear introduction, our team installed 18 of our SmartJacks throughout the floor joists in the homeowner's basement. Our SmartJacks are a special foundation repair product that supports sagging and undersized beams, restores the stability and straightness of the floor joists, and can even correct problems such as interior wall cracks and uneven door frames. Because of the way our SmartJacks are designed, they can be tightened over time by the homeowner to ensure the system is sticking to its design.
