Foundation Repair Photo Album: Dehumidifying and Adding Support to an Easthampton, MA Basement
This homeowner in Easthampton, MA gave us a call inquiring about a reliable dehumidifier for their basement and they also wanted someone to take a look at their home's foundation. Our inspector, Rick, went out to the property and listened to the homeowner's concerns. They told him that their basement usually felt pretty damp and that they also noticed that the floor boards on their home's main level were starting to slope. Rick drew up a solution that would handle both issues. On installation day, our foreman, Riley, and his crew installed our SaniDry XP dehumidifier which will keep the entire basement free of excess moisture and it also conveniently drains itself. To address the foundation concerns, our crew installed our SmartJack Stabilizing System which adds support to the foundation, putting a stop to the sloping floor. Now the homeowner can have peace of mind when it comes to their basement!
SaniDry XP Dehumidifier
The SaniDry XP keeps the humidity in the air of the basement low and conveniently drains itself.
Supplemental Beam
The supplemental beam runs horizontal along the ceiling and is made of galvanized steel. It is stronger than a wooden support beam.
SmartJacks
The SmartJacks are perpendicular to the supplemental beam and are also made out of galvanized steel. They add support to the home's foundation and can even be adjusted to lift the floor above back to its original position.
