Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Sagging Floor Repair in Austell, GA

Having searched the internet for a reliable foundation repair company, this Austell, GA homeowner decided to call Atlanta Basement System. We scheduled a free estimate with Austin S., one of our design specialists, to assess and help solve the homeowner's issue. After a thorough assessment, Austin discovered that the main support beam and the metal support jacks had rotted due to high humidity levels in the crawl space. The high humidity levels caused the wood to absorb moisture, leading to rot and weakening of the support beams. The weakened support beams were unable to adequately support the floor above, resulting in the sagging floor.   Austin discussed his findings with the homeowner and recommended the most effective solution to the problem. Austin suggested replacing the affected support beams with a steel support beam that would not be affected by high humidity levels. He also recommended installing a dehumidifier in the basement to reduce moisture levels and prevent the problem from occurring again. For permanent stabilization and to lift the floors in the living area of the home to their original level, the most effective solution was to install SmartJack Support Posts after removing the old ones.
