Home Foundation Repair Photo Album: Sloping House Stabilized with SmartJacks Macon, GA
Doc S. of Macon, GA had a problem. One side of his house had sloped, the other raised! Cracks appeared above doors in the home, and Doc was worried about what was happening to his biggest investment. One night he saw an ad on Macon’s NBC 41 for free crawl space inspections by Lowcountry Basement Systems and called the next day for a quote. An inspector from Lowcountry Basement Systems visited Doc’s home and performed a thorough inspection inside and in the crawl space. The inspector recommended a custom solution of SmartJacks -- adjustable galvanized steel support piers to support the sinking area in Doc’s foundation -- as well as supplemental PowerBrace beams to further stabilize the subfloors of the house. Doc agreed and had the work done. He was thrilled with the results!
