Home Foundation Repair Photo Album: Slanting Floors and Sticking Doors Fixed in Forsyth, GA
Jennifer Z. of Forsyth, GA dealt with slanting floors and sticking doors for the past two years. After trying to force doors closed across bulging floors every day she finally had enough. Jennifer called Lowcountry Basement Systems for a free inspection after seeing an ad on Macon’s CBS13.During the inspection, the inspector noted extensive wood rot and previous attempts to support the beams in the crawl space. It was recommended to install a SmartJack System to support the sagging beams and floor joists in conjunction with supplemental zinc-plated steel PowerBrace beams for additional subfloor support. The fully-adjustable steel SmartJacks were installed in just one day and stabilized the settling floor. No more sticking doors for Jennifer!
