Our installation crew started the job by demoing the necessary area of drywall in order to access the foundation wall.

A homeowner in Wakefield, Massachusetts had been experiencing sagging floors. Although this was very annoying, it caused a greater concern for the long-term health of the structure. This led to the homeowner reaching out to our Erickson Foundation Solutions team in search of a way to stabilize her home.

Our Design Specialist, Nikki Burke, recommended installing SmartJacks to support the home and stabilize the floors. This homeowner already had Lally columns all throughout her basement, but they could not provide the proper support that was needed. SmartJacks offer more support by inserting a galvanized steel plate into the foundation. This steel plate sits on a sturdy base of crushed stone. The galvanized steel post is then attached to the plate, and also connects to a supplemental beam. Once installed, they are cemented in place.

The SmartJacks not only prevented the floor from sinking further, but they also raised and leveled the floor as well. This homeowner was thrilled that the sagging and uneven floors had been fixed, and that the structure of her home is now properly supported!
