Sinking and Settling Supports in Crawl Space Are Culprit of Sagging Floors in Hibbing, MN Home, DBS Installs SmartJackĀ® System Solution

Homeowners of this Hibbing, MN residence noticed problems with their floors sagging. Their kitchen was bowing downwards in the center, and the owners intended on remodeling sometime in the near future. Knowing they needed to address the issue first, they contacted DBS.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate of the issue. After completing a thorough inspection, he advised the owners of the root of the issue, sinking and settling support columns in their crawlspace. He advised the owners of a solution that would help level their sinking floors, installing DBS's SmartJack® System.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with a crew and together they installed 9 SmartJack® supports to replace the old sinking wooden supports. This would help to raise the sagging floors and could even completely level the flooring.

The homeowners of this property can relax comfortably knowing that their floors are properly supported by the SmartJack® System installed in the crawlspace. They also have peace of mind knowing they can finally go about remodeling their kitchen without worry.
