Before & After Photos

Many homes were built on cinder blocks as their foundation.  Cinder blocks are porous and can hold a lot of water, this is also not the best environment for the wood that holds up the floors.  The homeowners noticed a lot of squeaking, a lot of doors and windows not opening as they once had. It was decided that a series of smart jacks were the right solution for this home. Smart jacks are designed to provide support and stability to a foundation. The results? Homeowners that no longer need to worry.

This 117 year old 2 story home in Humbolt, Tennessee had some piers that need to be reworked and floors leveled. The family was having trouble finding anyone   that would give an estimate to do the work. The problem was getting worse and the home owner had no plans of going anywhere. The correct permanent solution was important to him. The priority of this project was to permanently stabilize, lift & level the floors. Frontier did a free inspection then reviewed what they found with the home owner. Smart Jacks, supplemental steal beam, and a little lift will do the trick.

The floor joists in this Sharon, TN home had seen better days. Due to the moisture from an un-encapsulated crawlspace, the wooden floor joists were rotting away. We installed SmartJacks in the crawlspace to offer some additional support for the floors homes. The homeowner was happy with a job well-done!

This Jackson home was suffering from uneven floors and cracks in the drywall. To ensure that this problem didn't cause any further damage it was important to permanently stabilize the sagging floors. The best option being to install additional foundation piers with SmartJacks.

Ths SmartJack is an adjustable, long term solution which addresses the real problem of the soil beneath a home. It can support heavy loads (more than 60,000 lbs) and is not vulnerable to mold or rot - all with limited disruption to the home owner!

These homeowners in Mayfield Kentucky were having some problems with their foundation.  They contacted Frontier Basement Systems for a solution and a design specialist was sent to their home.  After a thorough inspection the design specialist found that the floors were being help and supported with car jacks.  This is often a situation we find homeowners in.  You can see a variety of different jacks in the before photo.  Together with the homeowner it was decided that a series of smart jacks were the right solution for this home.  The homeowners can now relax knowing their floors are help up and supported properly.
