Photo Album: Weak Floor Stabilized with SmartJacks in Statesboro, GA
Mary J. of Statesboro, GA didn’t like walking around certain spots in her home. The floor felt weak, it sagged and felt like she was going to fall through the floor. Mary did some research on flooring and thought she might have a foundation issue. She called Lowcountry Basement Systems for help.
Lowcountry Basement Systems sent an inspector to Mary’s house; he inspected the home inside, outside, and under the home in the crawl space. It was recommended to install a SmartJack System. SmartJacks are custom-cut to length support columns for crawl spaces capable of supporting loads over 60,000 pounds each. Mary decided to have the work done, and she was she did.
