Foundation Repair Photo Album: SmartJacks Installed in Crawlspace, Newmarket, NH

A homeowner in Newmarket, New Hampshire recently purchased their home but hasn't moved in yet because the home inspector noticed a slope in the main floor when conducting an inspection. The homeowners were buying this home with thoughts of upgrades in the near future. They decided that before they moved in they would like to address the sloping floor. So they decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist recommended replacing the old wooden supports in the crawlspace with SmartJacks.  Our production team planned to install 11 SmartJacks in the crawlspace. We started by setting up temporary support so we could remove the old wooden supports. After the wood supports were removed and the temps were installed the team began creating level footings for our SmartJacks to rest on. The team dug a hole that was 24"x 24"x 24" and then filled the hole with engineered fill, rebar, and concrete. Once cured the team installed our SmartJacks over the footing and connected it to the beam above. They repeated this process 10 more times until they were all installed. Once installed the team can use the adjustable top to lift on the floor above to lift and level it. After everything was installed and set in place the team then cast concrete over the footings.
