Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Heavy-Duty Steel Stabilization of Basement - Portland, OR
John's structural experts specialize in the efficient and effective installation of steel SmartJacks to restore stabilization to inadequately supported subfloors and basements. Our heavy-duty, professional grade SmartJacks immediately and permanently return firm structural integrity and even weight-distribution to homes. To do this, we replace original wooden posts that have failed due to rotting, cracking, shifting, or improper original install that did not meet even weight-distribution standards. Compromised wooden posts often lead to sloped/bouncy interior flooring, sticky door frames, and cracks in sheet rock - all of which result in a home that is not as comfortable - nor as stable - as it should be. As your leading, local experts in all things crawl spaces, basements, and foundations for over 50 years, John's is here to help families live more comfortable lives, inside of stable homes. Replacement of original wooden posts is simple. Our crews first remove each post, and then install a SmartJack in its place, carefully calibrating it by hand, until the overhead floor is returned back to its intended position, returning interior flooring back to level. Our SmartJacks are advanced-level structural repair components, offering far superior support and longevity, when compared to traditional wooden posts. If need be, they also feature easy future adjustability, while creating a more comfortable and stable home, enabling families to thrive.
