What is so smart about these jacks

Bethany Beach, DE April 5 2012 3:30 in the afternoon Foundation Supportworks by DryZone receives a call from a homeowner in Bear Trap Dunes, who has structural problems in their home!  It seems that many of the doors and windows in the home have “racked” or went out of square, making them stick or not open or shut at all.  This problem has been happening for a few years now but has really gotten worse this spring, the homeowners were at their wits end, and searched the internet for a company who could fix this type of problem.

 As the only real foundation repair company on Delmarva, DryZone went to the home to perform an initial inspection that is free.  Bill the inspector for DryZone soon found the problem, you see the concrete piers that go down the middle of the home had shifted, and that was making the floors above it sink and that “sinking” made the doors and windows not operate correctly.  Bill recommended seven new Smart Jack crawlspace supports; these jacks once installed transferred the weight of the home onto the new piers, and then lifting the floors began.  After a short time, the Bethany Beach home was brought back to a level position.
