Foundation Problems Before & After Photos

The basement area of this condo unit in Charlestown, MA had a number of old wooden columns supporting the floor above. Over the years, temporary adjustable jacks were also  installed to help with the sagging floors, but this was not a permanent solution. Our team installed 3 SmartJacks to replace the failing columns. The SmartJacks are engineered to withstand the weight of the entire structure above, and will prevent any further floors or beams from sagging.

This homeowner in Melrose, Massachusetts had some cracks in the wall and ceiling. They also noticed sloping on the floor on the main level. Design Specialist John Prince came to the home and found that they only have one support in their basement, so he proposed that the homeowners have Smart Jacks installed in their basement. Crew Lead Nick Melo and his team came to the home to install Smart Jacks into the basement and repaired the cracks in the walls.
