Failing Support Beam Threatening to Ruin Crawlspace in Superior, WI Stabilized with SmartJackĀ® System

These homeowners in Superior, WI were informed that their crawlspace was in need of assistance if it were to pass inspection. The support beam by the entryway was failing, causing the home to become unstable and unhealthy. Needing a permanent solution, these homeowners trusted DBS to help them with this project. 

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen assisted these homeowners in a free no-obligation estimate in order to find the perfect solution for their home. After careful inspection, Rich informed the homeowners that a SmartJack® Support System would be the best solution for their home. 

Foreman Tyler Nacey, along with a team, led the installation of this project. Together, the team installed 2 SmartJack® Systems to replace the failing support. This support system uses steel brackets, footing, and tubes. This evenly distributes the weight of the structure, therefore, stabilizing and repositioning the home as needed. 

These homeowners can now relax without worrying about a failing support system under their feet, but instead with the piece of mind that their home is safe and healthy.
