Sagging Floor Repair in Cumberland, Maryland
Challenge
A homeowner in Cumberland, Jilian, contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions after experiencing uneven and sagging floors throughout portions of her home. She noticed that furniture no longer sat level, and certain areas of the floor felt weak and unstable when walked on.
During our evaluation, we discovered that the crawl space support system had been compromised. The existing support posts were settling into the soil and failing to adequately support the floor above. Additionally, moisture in the crawl space had contributed to the weakening of structural components over time.
Jilian was concerned about the long-term safety of her home and wanted a dependable solution to correct the issue.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions recommended installing the SmartJack® Support System to stabilize and lift the sagging floors. Our team installed adjustable steel SmartJacks® beneath the affected areas, placing them on engineered footings designed for long-term support.
Each SmartJack® was adjusted to carefully lift the floor system and restore proper alignment. The system provided immediate stabilization while also preventing future movement.
After installation, Jilian’s floors in Cumberland were level and secure. She gained peace of mind knowing her home’s structure was reinforced with a reliable, long-term solution.
