Foundation Problems Photo Album: Uneven Floor Repair in Topsfield, MA

When a homeowner from Topsfield, MA noticed unsettling dips in their floors, the root of the trouble led us underneath - to rusting lally columns that lost their strength. Our remedy came through installing SmartJack - a proven, robust support system tailor-made to restore stability where it's most needed. Step through this photo gallery to see the transformation from weakened supports to a securely lifted space, spotlighting our dedication to not just meet but exceed our homeowner's expectations with lasting, reliable solutions.

Old Lally Columns

The existing lally columns in the basement were insufficient to support the floors above, leading to sagging. To enhance the structural integrity of the home, a more robust solution was required.

SmartJack Footings

Concrete and soil were excavated at the designated installation points for the SmartJacks to facilitate the creation of stable footings.

SmartJack Base

The bases of our SmartJack system were installed into the footings. Constructed from galvanized steel, these bases offer enhanced support to bear the load of the structure above.

SmartJack Cemented into Foundation

The SmartJacks are then anchored into the foundation with cement, offering additional reinforcement. These adjustable supports can be precisely aligned with the beams to ensure optimal strength and stabilization.

Supplemental Beam

SmartJacks were additionally installed to a supplemental beam to effectively distribute the weight of the floors.

Floors Lifted and Stabilized

Upon completing the installation of the SmartJacks, the floors were not only stabilized but also elevated by over a quarter of an inch, effectively restoring them to their original state. The homeowner no longer experiences bouncy or sagging floors. Each step is now firm, reflecting the restored structural integrity of the home.
