In Grand Marais, MN, a cabin owner sought to ensure the longevity of their serene retreat, noticing signs of wear in their crawl space due to nature’s relentless pressure. To safeguard their beloved sanctuary, they turned to us. The journey commenced with the homeowner reaching out to our welcoming Customer Care team, leading to a thorough inspection by a System Design Specialist. They uncovered the intersection of time and nature’s impact: sagging floor joists beneath, compounded by pervasive moisture infiltration. Our solution? Combining SmartJack® for structural reinforcement and CleanSpace® liner for moisture management.

The proposed strategy encompassed the installation of IceGuard® and WaterGuard® for efficient water drainage, alongside CleanSpace® for moisture prevention, and SmartSump™ for water extraction. The installation process proceeded seamlessly, with our adept team initiating by fitting the WaterGuard® system along the basement perimeter to capture wall and floor seam leaks. Following this, the SmartSump™ sump pump system was installed, crucial for promptly directing any incoming water outside. IceGuard® was incorporated to prevent discharge line blockages, providing reassurance during freezing winters.

SmartJack® provided the necessary strength to arrest and reverse floor joist sagging, ensuring a steadfast foundation. CleanSpace® then enveloped the area in a protective shield, guarding against dampness, mold, and pests – fortifying the cabin against nature’s erosive forces. The execution was meticulous, courtesy of our proficient production team. Their meticulous efforts comprehensively addressed each issue, replacing uncertainty with stability and dryness.

The result transformed homeowner apprehension into tranquility, with the cabin’s foundation poised for many more years of cherished memories, all thanks to our comprehensive approach to crawl space repair.
