Foundation Repair Photo Album: SmartJack Installation in Highland, IL
In Highland, Illinois homeowner Greg V. was having problems with the foundation of his home. His home had a porch that had been added onto the home about ten years ago. Unfortunately, it was not stable enough on its own and he was starting to notice cracks and signs of problems. Unsure of what to do, he decided to call Woods Basement Systems to see if they had a solution for his problems.
Here at Woods, we have the perfect solution to any waterproofing, foundation, or basement problem! Our foreman Brett Jones and his team came out to the home to install our SmartJack system. SmartJacks are steel support systems used to permanently stabilize and level girders and floor joists in a crawlspace, or in this case under a porch! Now, Greg is happy knowing that his home is supported once again!

Advantages of SmartJacks

Completed Project
Once the SmartJacks are installed, the problem is solved once and for all.
