Before & After Photos

Before

The homeowner in Menominee, MI began noticing uneven floors, sagging areas, and signs that the home's crawl space support system was no longer adequately supporting the structure above. Over time, weakened support posts and shifting soils had allowed the floor system to settle, a common issue in homes throughout the region due to seasonal moisture changes and freeze-thaw cycles. During our inspection, we measured the floor deflection and found failing structural supports beneath the home. To permanently stabilize the floor system, we recommended installing the SmartJack Structural Support System.

After

Our production team installed the SmartJack Structural Support System beneath the affected floor joists, transferring the home's weight onto engineered galvanized steel supports designed for long-term performance. Each SmartJack was carefully adjusted to provide immediate stabilization while helping restore portions of the sagging floor toward its original position. The homeowner now has a stronger, more stable floor system and the confidence that their home's structural support has been professionally reinforced for years to come.

Before

The addition on this Menominee, MI home had begun settling into the ground, causing visible signs of foundation movement including cracks, uneven floors, and separation where the addition met the original structure. Over time, unstable soils beneath the foundation had lost their ability to properly support the added weight, a problem often made worse by Michigan's seasonal moisture changes and freeze-thaw cycles. During our inspection, we documented the settlement, evaluated the foundation elevations, and recommended permanently stabilizing the structure with Push Pier Foundation Systems.

After

Our production team installed Push Pier Foundation Systems beneath the settling foundation of the addition, hydraulically advancing each pier to competent load-bearing soils deep below the surface. Once adequate load capacity was verified, the foundation was permanently stabilized and, where conditions allowed, carefully lifted toward its original elevation. The homeowner now has confidence that the addition is supported by a long-term foundation repair solution designed to resist future settlement.

Before

This Menominee, MI home had a crawl space that was better built than many we encounter. It offered extra headroom, a poured concrete floor, and good access for our crew. Even with those advantages, the homeowners were beginning to notice a problem upstairs: floors in the home were starting to sag.

A well-built crawl space doesn't necessarily prevent structural issues. Over time, floor joists and support beams can deflect, existing supports can settle, or loads from the home can contribute to low and uneven areas in the floors above.

Our team evaluated the floor system and determined that additional structural support was needed beneath the affected areas.

After

Sure-Dry installed the SmartJack® Crawl Space Support System beneath the home's floor system. The adjustable steel support posts were positioned to reinforce the structure and provide dependable support where the floors had begun to sag.

Because this crawl space had excellent headroom and a concrete floor, our crew had unusually good working conditions for completing the installation and positioning the support system where it was needed.

SmartJack® is designed to provide a more permanent solution than improvised wood posts or temporary supports. The system can also be adjusted if needed to help maintain support as conditions change over time.

In the Menominee area, seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil moisture can contribute to movement and settlement around homes. Addressing symptoms such as sagging floors, uneven floors, or bouncy areas early can help prevent the structural problem from becoming more noticeable.

The result is a properly supported floor system and greater confidence in the structure beneath this Menominee home.

Before: Sagging Floors, Wall Cracks & a Door That Wouldn’t Latch

In Sturgeon Bay, this homeowner was dealing with sagging floors and worsening cracks in the walls. Their front door had stopped latching properly, and they were tired of patching cosmetic problems without solving the root cause. The issue? Lack of proper support under the home.

After: Stabilized & Solid from the Ground Up

We installed a series of SmartJack® support posts in the crawl space to lift and stabilize the floor system above. These heavy-duty, adjustable steel supports are designed to stop further settling—and in many cases, even help lift floors back into place.

Now the home is stable, doors close like they should, and those wall cracks are no longer getting worse. Best of all, the fix was done without the disruption of major framing or floor replacement.
