Photo Album: Fixing the Structure and Encapsulating Frankford, DE Home

This homeowner gave us a call because they had some concerns with the structural integrity of their home. They are looking to move into this home full time and want to ensure all structural issues are addressed. Pilot town engineering also came out to take a look per the request of the homeowner and provide their recommendations.    While we were taking a look, we noticed the crawlspace was encapsulated by another company. We also noticed water stains on their product which we brought to the homeowners attention. While looking at the structure of the area, we noticed most of the piers were separated from the girder, pilot town recommended the installation of metal shims. Some of the piers look to be leaning, so we will need to correct those as well.   Ultimately, we installed our smartjacks support system, a supplemental beam/girder and floor joists to correct the structure issues. To address the water issues, we installed a smartsump system, ice guard to prevent floods from clogged or frozen discharge lines, lawnscape at the end of the discharge line and cleanspace with drainage matting to encapsulate the area.
