Support for an Unstable Foundation in Saint Joseph, MI

Rebecca, a homeowner in Saint Joseph, MI found herself facing an unstable situation with her home and knew that she needed to seek help from her local foundation support experts. That’s why she called us when she realized the sagging wooden beam in her crawlspace was not providing the support that her foundation desperately needed. Upon diagnosing her foundation support needs, we prescribed four small Smart Jacks and a new steel support beam to stabilize her home. The Smart Jack is a supplemental support system for crawl space applications. The Smart Jack effectively supports sagging beams and floor joists caused by, a length of span greater than spanning capability, floor load increased after construction, exceeding design values, and weakening over time due to high moisture and rot. A major benefit of these steel Smart Jacks is that they can easily be adjusted if future settling occurs. For Rebecca, calling Ayers was a solid idea! With this innovative stability solution in place, our new friend can rest assured that her home will forever be supported.
