Gutting Kitchen Beginning with Stabilizing Floor, Acton, MA

A homeowner in Acton, Massachusetts, had lived in a home that was built in 1769. They have lived in the home since last October and planned on gutting the kitchen and remodeling it. Because of the age of the home, the homeowners wanted to replace the beam and floor joist of the kitchen floor. For extra precaution, the homeowners decided to reach out to EFS for options of additional support under the new beam and joists. Our design specialist recommended installing 4 SmartJacks under the beam and installing CleanSpace in the crawlspace under the kitchen. 

The team installed the supports under the beam to support the new weight of the remodeled kitchen. After the SmartJacks were installed the team installed CleanSpace to encapsulate the crawlspace to prevent moisture and pests from entering the crawlspace.
