THE FORCE ARRESTER™ SUPPORT COLUMN SYSTEM

The Force Arrester™ Support Column System offers an effective solution for addressing settling and sagging beams in crawlspaces, which can have a detrimental impact on the floor joists and the floors above. This system is specifically designed to lift sinking floors back into their original position and provides protection against future earth movement.

RESTORING STABILITY TO SETTLING & SAGGING BEAMS IN CRAWLSPACES

A home’s support columns can face various issues that compromise their structural integrity. These issues include improper spacing, moisture-induced weakening or rot, and settling caused by weak soil or poor footings. As these support columns sag and settle, the floors above them experience similar deterioration.

The Support Column System by Force Arrester acts promptly to rectify this deterioration. By employing this system, you can expect the restoration of stability and support to the affected beams. This helps to alleviate the strain on the floor joists and prevents further damage to the floors above.

With the Force Arrester Support Column System, you can effectively counteract settling and sagging, allowing the floors to regain their original position. Additionally, this system offers long-term protection against future movement, ensuring the continued stability of the home’s structural components.

INNOVATIVE SUPPORT COLUMN SYSTEM

While conventional support systems often rely on materials like concrete blocks, bricks, or wood timber posts to address sagging and settling support columns, these solutions have their limitations. They are susceptible to rust, corrosion, and lack adjustability. However, our advanced support system offers a superior alternative.

The Force Arrester Support Column System is crafted from robust, corrosion-resistant, and powder-coated steel. Unlike traditional materials, our system is designed to withstand rust and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance and durability. This corrosion resistance guarantees that the support columns remain structurally sound and reliable over time.

One significant advantage of our system is its adjustability. Unlike fixed solutions, our support columns are designed to be adjustable for years to come. This feature allows for precise fine-tuning as needed, accommodating changes in the settling and sagging of the columns and ensuring optimal support for the beams and floors above.

The standard height of our support columns is 3 feet, providing a solid foundation for your structure. However, should you require a customized height, our columns can be easily field-cut to meet your specific needs. This flexibility in customization ensures that our system can effectively address the unique requirements of the property.
