This homeowner contacted DBS after noticing issues with their trailer's foundation and desired to level it without removing the current support. Despite a tight entry, the team installed three smart jacks near the exterior door and the start of their bedroom. The jacks were spaced out towards the shed, and frost protection was added to the clips poured a week earlier. The team used 6”x6” base plates and performed three lift procedures, achieving the desired elevation. Additionally, they shimmed up existing supports and sprayed 36 linear feet of spray foam to address any gaps created during the lift. The customer was happy with the work and felt more comfortable with her stable home!
