Fixing a Sagging Floor in East York, Ontario
Challenge
Recently in East York, ON, a homeowner contacted Basement Systems Toronto with a serious basement issue. During a routine check, they discovered that one of the joists had lost its foundational pier. Originally supported by a wooden pier, the structure had deteriorated over time, making it clear that a durable and permanent solution was needed.
Solution
Once our Customer Care team scheduled an inspection, a System Design Specialist assessed the basement and confirmed the best course of action: removing the failing wooden pier and replacing it with a SmartJack—a steel support system designed to stabilize and reinforce sagging floor joists.
Our experienced production team efficiently installed the SmartJack, ensuring the basement’s structural integrity was restored. This durable system not only lifted the joist back to its original position but also provided long-term stability against future settling.
The transformation was immediate—the previously weakened joist was now securely braced, restoring both the strength of the basement and the homeowner’s peace of mind. As always, our team left the space spotless, delivering a seamless, worry-free experience from start to finish.
