Why Smart Jacks will make your Life so much Easier

What are Smart Jacks and what do they do? 

Smart Jacks are strong, stable, and adjustable steel piers that are designed to stop settling and permanently bring sagging floors back to a normal state as soon as they are installed. They lift and stabilize existing beams and floor joists. They are totally adjustable and stay in place. The installation process does not take that long and it can happen any time of the year with minimal disruption.  Due to the zinc-plated and galvanized steel material, this product will never rust. 

What causes sagging floors? 

There are many reasons why floors can sag, shift, or become uneven. Three of the more common reasons are poor structural support, too much weight above, and humidity caused by water leaks in the basement or crawl space over time. Structural support that was poorly designed is a common cause for sagging floors. Floor joists can bend downwards due to the pressure and weight of the material above, hence the floor will sag. Another common cause is moisture/humidity caused by leaks or floods from foundation cracks, which can create mold and rot the floor joists and support beams. Weight is another reason why your floors might be sagging, if there is too much weight upon an already weak set of support posts and floor joists, then the floor will sag, and eventually collapse unless the problem is not taken care of as soon as possible. 

Why Smart Jacks are for you

Problems in the crawl space or basement due to problems such as leaks can affect the upper areas of the house as well. Moisture can weaken the foundation and soil, which will cause the support posts and joists to weaken, shift, settle, and eventually collapse. Mold and rot on wood can often cause sagging beams and uneven spacing, which in turn causes the floors to sag or sink above. Smart Jacks come with a twenty-five year warranty and prevent further movement of the floor. With Smart Jacks, you don't have to worry about sagging or uneven floors anymore, and you will not only create a better and safer environment down below, but you will improve the stability of the entire house as well.
