Photo Album: Crawl Space Jacks in Kingston, OH

A homeowner in Kingston, Ohio, noticed cracks where the wall met the ceiling in her living room. After researching online, she learned that this is a classic sign of foundation settlement. She called Mid-State Basement Systems to inspect the crawl space and provide the right solution. Our crew installed 16 SmartJacks in the crawl space as well as an 80-foot supplemental support beam to stabilize and lift the foundation back toward its original position.

Uh Oh! Signs of Sinking Foundation

When the ceiling shows cracks like those in this picture, it's more than likely caused by a sinking foundation.

In the Crawl Space: Signs of Settlement

The block supports in the crawl space had been stabilized with wood shims. However, this is a temporary fix that must be re-done frequently as the foundation continues to sink.
