Uneven settling

Many times the concrete pillars holding up a home will settle unevenly. This causes the sections of girder to crack and split. A great way to coorect this problem is to replace the concrete piers with a solid SmartJack system. Each SmartJack has a footer, much like the perimeter of the home. This gives it a better chance to hold up under pressure, meaning it won't sink nearly as bad at the old concrete piers. They are also adjustable, so it they settle a little you can call a technician to fix the problem. Often times this is a quick fix, just a few turns or a wrench and a check to see if it is level again.
