Sinking House in Millington, MI Stabilized with Crawl Space Support Posts

A homeowner in Millington, MI called on HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for help with their sinking house. The issues had caused the ceiling drywall to crack. The owner suspected clay soil to be the cause and wanted help with leveling and re-adjusting the main beam under the house. They scheduled a free inspection to learn more.

Bill, one of HomeSpec’s project managers, arrived for the inspection and met with the homeowner. He then entered the crawl space and began his assessment. He noted cinderblock pillars and some existing supports were present; however, those methods alone were not enough to keep the house from settling. Bill recommended a repair plan consisting of SmartJack® support posts and supplemental beams along the main beam of the home, in addition to the existing support system. SmartJack® support posts have adjustment capabilities which makes them an excellent option for stabilizing a home. The owner decided to move forward with this proposal and coordinated a time for the installation. Tony led a crew throughout this project and saw it to completion.
