This rental property in Minneapolis, MN contacted DBS looking for a solution to the sinking floor on the main level of the home. They were had added some telescoping support beams in the basement to stabilize the floors, but they had not permanently remedied the uneven and bouncy floors in the main level. DBS Design Specialist Nathan Schroeder visited the home and provided a thorough inspection and free estimate for structural work. He designed a plan that would add a section of supplemental beam to the basement. This beam would be held up by vertical SmartJack® supports.DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby and his basement repair crew completed this basement support project. They installed a SmartJack® System consisting of 9 vertical beams. These vertical supports attach to the ceiling joists and concrete floor via steel brackets. After our team completed a lift procedure in the basement, the main level of the home was permanently stabilized and protected against further movement.
