Mid-State Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Have you noticed that your floors are bouncy? and not in a fun way. This homeowner in North Hampton was concerned with the state in his foundation and called us. When joists in the crawl space begin to sag because of age, mold, or pest damage, the floors above them will sag as well. This leads to uneven or "bouncy" floors in the living space, which are unpleasant for you and your family to deal with and damage your home's value. SmartJack supports solve sagging floor problems in crawl spaces by stabilizing & leveling sagging beams.

This home in Ridgeway, OH experienced severe flooding in a big rain. Never wanting to experience that again, they called us at Mid-State Basement Systems to come out and help. We installed the WaterGuard Perimeter Drain System in their basement.

Sagging, bouncy floors indicate a serious structural problem that will worsen over time. These common conditions can make floors unsafe, while also causing unsightly cracks in wallboard and beneath baseboard molding. That’s what this homeowner noticed before she decided to call Mid-State Basement Systems for a solution. 

After inspecting the crawl space, our team suggested SmartJacks to support the floor. The best way to permanently solve sagging, bouncy floor problems is to install SmartJack posts beneath the beam that supports your crawl space joists. Each SmartJack post rests on a precast concrete pad that is set on a base of compacted stone. This engineered structural system won’t settle like masonry piers can; nor will it rot or shift like a wood post.

A before and after look at a SmartJack installation. This home had DIY piers in their crawlspace and needed a permanent solution that they could trust.

A before and after look at a CarbonArmor installation! The CarbonArmor System uses flexible carbon fiber fabric straps, which are up to 10 times stronger than steel in tension. These straps are bonded to the interior face of the wall with high-strength epoxy resin, providing necessary stabilization.
