Sagging Floor Repair in Salem, NH

A homeowner in Salem, New Hampshire had been experiencing drywall cracking and sagging floors in the house. With plans to sell the home in the near future, the homeowner wanted to stabilize the floors in order to maintain value of the home. She reached out to Erickson team for a permanent solution.

Our Design Specialist, Liam FitzPatrick, recommended installing SmartJack support posts in the crawl space in order to uplift and stabilize the floors. These SmartJacks are similar to Lally columns, but are able to provide more support to the structure. This system is installed by attaching steel support beams to the floor joists and a sturdy base at the floor. Once all posts are installed, they are adjusted to raise the floors to a level position. A total of six SmartJacks were installed.

The floors in the home were instantly leveled and supported. This homeowner now has peace of mind that the structure of her home is strong and stable.
