Before & After Photos

This home was on the market, but the seller knew there were some issues with the foundation and they wanted to get them fix before they sold the house. A member of our Real Estate Response team, Russell, worked closely with the seller to ensure the problems were properly addressed. For this home, Ken and his crew installed multiple SmartJacks to stabilize the floor beams, along with a few supplemental beams. The foundation is now stable and ready for the next owner!

This homeowner called us here at Atlanta Basement Systems with concerns of foundation issues causing their garage lintel to sag. The foundation issues caused the brick of their home to spread, which caused the sag in the lintel. In the before photo, you can see the sag, and the cracks that had been caused by the foundation issues. Coley and his crew did a LintelLift, which is a curved steel beam, installed around the garage opening, which is then straightened out lifting the lintel of the garage. In turn, this fixes the sagging of the lintel, relieving the home of the foundation issues. The LintelLift will not repair the cracks, but those can be fixed, now that the concern is not with the integrity of the foundation of the home.

This homeowner reached out looking for a solution to stabilize their bouncy floors. They had received a recommendation from a structural engineer to replace their concrete cap blocks with a more stable option. After an inspection and walkthrough with one of our System Design Specialists, the homeowner asked us to perform the work. One of our crews went out to the home and installed multiple SmartJacks to stabilize the floor joists and beams. SmartJacks are adjustable steel piers that stop floors from sagging and raise them back to the correct height. This homeowner no longer has to worry about bouncy, sagging floors!

The most effective solution to this customer's uneven floor problem was to remove the damaged wood posts and install SmartJack support posts. SmartJack support posts are specifically designed to stabilize and level the floor by providing a strong, stable base to support the joists. This is especially helpful for older homes that have sagging floors due to insufficient support.
