The "Before" photo shows the condition in which the home was when Mrs. L bought her home. The previous owner dealt with his floor support issues by shimming the wooden posts; this was only putting a band-aid on an issue that would keep getting worse.
The "After" photo shows our solution to sinking floors and failing wood posts, The SmartJack Adjustable Steel Post. Soil constantly shifts beneath our feet. In the case of this home, it had caused the concrete footings that helped support the floor to sink. Wood posts can't be adjusted and shims are not a long-term solution. The SmartJack Adjustable Steel Post can be adjusted to meet your needs.
This homeowner knew that their floors were unlevel and that if they kept putting off repairing them, the problem would only get worse and the price to fix it would continue to rise. We removed the old, rusty jacks that were no longer supporting the floor properly, and replaced them with SmartJack Adjustable Steel Posts.
The foundation wall was cracking because of some interior rebar that wasn't behaving. Our solution was to remove the Naughty rebar and replace it with stronger rebar from the Nice list. Then we sealed the area with new concrete and our Carbon Armor Patch for extra protection.
This home, built in 1960, has been passed down from multiple generations in Mr. G's family. After noticing that portions of their floor were uneven, they wanted to make sure that the integrity of their floor would remain intact for even more generations to come. Within the crawl space, we removed all 17 wooden posts and replaced them with 17 new SmartJack Adjustable Steel Posts (pictured here).
This home, located in Campbell, was having foundation problems. They found us after doing some research on the internet. They called us and scheduled an appointment for a free home inspection (quote included). Our Structural Consultant, Steve Mack, performed the inspection. He found that the home was settling, with cracks forming and progressing on the interior and exterior stucco walls. There was some evidence of lateral movement and the floors were unlevel by about 2 inches in some areas.
Our crew installed a multitude of Push Piers to help lift and stabilize this home, to help it from future settlement.
