Smart Jacks Lift Floors to Level in Pevely, MO

Termites had damaged the main beam in the crawl space of Josh H.’s Pevely, MO home. The damage had rotted the beam which, in combination with haphazardly stacked brick columns, had caused the floors above to sag so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing SmartJacks along with an encapsulation system.

Woods installed the SmartJacks along the main beam. SmartJacks are galvanized, adjustable steel columns that are cut to the height of the crawl space. They are held in place by pre-cast concrete footings that sit on a bed of compressed stone which means the system won’t settle like masonry columns. They adjust to lift the floors above back to level position while providing adequate support for the main beam for years to come.
