Blue Ash Homeowner Fixes Sagging Floor with Expert Engineering & Professional Installation
Identifying the Problem
A homeowner in Blue Ash, Cincinnati, recently noticed their floor sagging near the basement stairwell. Concerned about potential structural damage, they made the smart decision to hire a professional engineer for an evaluation. After a thorough inspection, the engineer determined that the floor needed additional support to prevent further movement and possible future complications.
A Thoughtful Engineering Solution
To address the issue, the engineer designed a reinforcement plan that included a new crossbeam and two 3-inch diameter adjustable lally columns. These columns required sturdy concrete footers to provide a solid foundation for long-term stability and enhanced safety. With a clear plan in place, the homeowner reached out to our experienced team to bring the design to life.
Expert Installation by Our Team
Our crew began by saw-cutting the concrete basement floor to make space for the new footers. Since a drainage pipe connected to the sump pump ran through the area, we took extra precautions to work around it without causing any disruption or damage. After preparing the site, we poured the concrete footers and allowed them to cure properly, ensuring maximum strength and durability.
Once the concrete had set, we installed the crossbeam and secured the lally columns. We carefully followed the engineer’s instructions, paying close attention to the bolts and connection hardware to guarantee a secure and stable installation that would last for years.
Fast, Cost-Effective, and Reliable Results
This entire project took just two days to complete, and we successfully kept the costs well under the homeowner’s budget. Now, they can enjoy a safe and reinforced floor, knowing their home’s structure is secure for years to come.
