StrongHold® Floor Support for Jodi Blair, Irvington, AL
Service Overview
At MDH Foundation Repair, we specialize in stabilizing and reinforcing aging structures, even in challenging cases. When Jodi Blair of Irvington, AL, reached out for help, her 1939 home was struggling with a range of structural issues, including split beams, deteriorating support columns, and uneven floors. The home featured a mix of joist materials, including 2″x6″ joists with 24″ centers in the older portion and 2″x8″ joists in the rear addition. Additionally, many of the concrete block supports were sinking or leaning, further compromising stability.
PROJECT PROCESS
- Installation of StrongHold® Floor Supports and I-Beam: We installed 25 StrongHold® Floor Supports along with 16 linear feet of galvanized steel I-beam. These supports were strategically placed to stabilize the structure, reinforce aging beams, and correct uneven floors.
- Reinforcement of Aging Beams: Split 2″x6″ beams were stabilized, and additional support was provided to prevent further sinking or leaning. The steel I-beam ensured durability and longevity.
- Addressing Structural Issues: While the front section of the home with minimal clearance was excluded, the rest of the structure was stabilized and prepared for future work.
METRICS FOR SUCCESS
- Effectively stabilizing the home, preventing further sinking or leaning of support columns.
- Reinforcing split beams and joists, improving overall stability.
- Achieving Ms. Blair’s satisfaction with our professionalism, communication, and the quality of the work.
MAINTENANCE AND FOLLOW-UP
We had MDH come to our home to level it in Oct 2023. Mind y'all, our home was built in 1939/40 and we have water damage from a bad roof job. They came out and gave us a quote, answered all of my questions and was communicative (which people and contractors don't do anymore but MDH does). The guys that came out were awesome! They told me everything they did and even called me to come home to check on a very loud noise. Which was later a window shifted, but we can open it now. I had a great experience with Hannah and Shannon. Please forgive me but I can't remember the guy's names but the whole experience went great. Once we get the front of our home done, they will be back out to make sure it is leveled with the rest of the home. I will keep MDH in my emails and phone just in case I might need them again. Of course, I also recommend them to everyone I know. Thank you again for all y'all's help!
