Foundation Repair Photo Album: Cracking Drywall and Sagging Floors in Rice Lake, WI Corrected with SmartJacks

This 1910 home in Rice Lake, WI was in need of foundation support. The homeowner noticed sloping floors and cracks in the drywall that were getting worse. They contacted DBS to provide a free, no-obligation estimate.DBS Production Manager George Barry visited the home to provide a thorough inspection. After examining both the basement and main level of the home, he came up with a custom plan to permanently stabilize the floors.DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby and his crews installed 12 SmartJack® XT total in the basement. Some of the SmartJack beams were set into steel footings, and some were set into the home's footing and anchored with new concrete. A supplemental steel beam was installed to add more horizontal support to the ceiling as well.Our team restored the structural integrity of this home, and the homeowner's peace of mind was restored.
