Foundation Repair Photo Album: Cloquet, MN Crawl Space Supported with SmartJack®
This Cloquet, MN homeowner has lived in their home since it was built in 1940. Over time the home's crawl space has settled, causing the floor of the home's main level to sink. Once doors and windows on the first level became difficult to open due to the foundation shifting, the homeowner reached out to DBS for a permanent solution.
DBS Sales Manager Royce Bunn visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the support work in the crawl space. It was determined that the crawl space would have SmartJack® support beams installed to lift and support the sagging crawl space ceiling.
DBS Foreman Kevin Steffey and production crew installed the Smart Jack® system as well as supplemental beams to restore the crawl space and provide proper support to the rest of the home. The homeowner now enjoys a healthy, safe, and comfortable home!
