A homeowner in Easton, PA noticed troubling signs of foundation settlement, including uneven floors and small cracks in the basement walls, which raised concerns about the long-term stability of their home. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, they reached out to Quality 1st for a professional evaluation. After a thorough inspection, our team identified that the basement’s support beams had weakened and were no longer effectively carrying the weight of the structure, contributing to sagging floors and increased stress on the foundation.
To resolve the issue, we installed our patented SmartJack Support System, a durable and adjustable solution designed to provide lasting structural support. These galvanized steel piers were strategically positioned beneath the failing beams and hydraulically adjusted to lift and stabilize the sagging joists. Our corrosion-resistant SmartJacks transfer the home’s load to solid, stable soil deep underground, preventing further settlement and restoring the foundation’s integrity. With the SmartJack system securely in place, the homeowner’s basement and entire home are now stabilized, safe, and protected against future damage.
