Bob J. of Chatham, Illinois noticed that some of the floors in his home were uneven and sagging. He did not want the problem to get any worse, so he called Woods Basement Systems for assistance.
Design specialist Brandon B. assessed the problem and decided that Smart Jacks in the crawl space would fix the homeowner's issues. Foreman James L. then headed to the home to get the job started.
Smart Jacks, pictured above, are attached to the floor joists above the crawl space. Once the posts are installed, they are adjusted to help raise and level the floors. The Smart Jacks can be adjusted anytime necessary to help level the home.
Bob J. no longer has to worry about his home's floors being uneven or sagging. His home now has stable and level floors.
A crawlspace in Chatham, IL was not being supported correctly, causing cracks to appear in the concrete. Woods installed the SmartJack System in the crawlspace to stabilize the beams and floor joists. These will lift the floors above the crawl space back toward their original elevation and reduce floor bounce caused by weakened floor joists or excessive spans. This crawlspace will remain stable for years to come!
A foundation was settling in Aviston, IL, causing large cracks to form. To solve this issue, the Push Pier System was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, and in many cases, lift it back toward its original position. These can also close cracks and improve the operation of windows and doors. This is the least risky solution when the soil conditions are unknown. There is minimal disturbance from installation; installing them is a quick process and will solve the problem once and for all!
