Sagging Floors in Nottingham, MD call for SmartJacks

This homeowner in Nottingham, MD had sagging floors for quite a while before they called DryZone. 

The following are common signs that occur when your floors are not level and stable:

- Gaps between the floor and interior walls

- Cracks in interior walls and gaps around door frames

- Sticking doors and windows

- Gaps between existing columns and girders in the crawlspace

- You notice shimming between existing columns and girders in the crawlspace (a sign of past repair attempts)

- Wood rot and deterioration of floor joists in the crawlspace

 

With SmartJacks, you can permanently stabilize and level the girders and floors joists in your crawlspace, lifting the above floors and walls back to their original position. Using SmartJacks also reduces "floor bounce" caused by excessive floor joist spans and solves the problem once and for all! 

For this Nottingham homeowner, 4 SmartJacks were suggested to help strenghten underneath the home on the front entry way area. If you have sagging floors or "floor bounce" give us a call to schedule a free inspection!
