Structural Damage

The addition was pulling away from the original structure and the wood was rotted.

SmartJack Support Base

The strength of the SmartJack system starts from the ground up. Each SmartJack is installed on a custom-engineered base made of tightly compacted crushed stone and a precast concrete footing. This stable foundation ensures long-term support by distributing the load evenly and preventing the jack from shifting or sinking over time-providing homeowners with reliable, lasting structural stability.

Strong Support

Each SmartJack is designed to provide solid, adjustable support by connecting directly to the horizontal beam beneath the sagging floor. A heavy-duty steel bracket at the top of the SmartJack securely anchors it to the beam, ensuring a tight, stable connection. This setup not only lifts and levels the floor above but also reinforces the entire structure for long-term durability.
