Before & After Photos

Faced with the challenge of ensuring their basement remained structurally sound for years to come, a family in Nashua, NH contacted us for help. As you can see in the before photo, old lally columns were failing to provide the necessary support, a common headache for homeowners looking to finish their basements. Enter our solution: SmartJack. Notice in the after photo how the space is transformed into a solid foundation, ready for any renovation plans. With SmartJack, we ensured the homeowners can forge ahead without a worry about their future structural integrity.

This home was built on an old fill site, and one day began settling at a rapid rate. In total, the home sank 9 inches. We used push piers to stabilize the home and keep it from sinking any further. We were even able to lift the entire foundation and home up almost back to level, without doing any damage to the structure. In these before and after photos, notice how the lally columns are completely detached from the supporting beams in the basement. We lifted the foundation walls on the perimeter, but the slab in the basement itself was still sunken and crumbling. These columns were replaced with Smartjacks.

The home owners who were once distraught and worried about losing their home are now thrilled and happy to have a stabilized home.
