Seismic Retrofitting For Your Crawlspace Using 350 SMARTJACK® System In Los Angeles

In the before photo, you can see at the top of the picture that there is cracking on the floor joists. This is because the joists need more support to handle the weight of the home. Since there is not good support for this home, this floor is sagging and causing problems for the homeowner. The after photo shows how we fix this problem with our 350 Smartjack solutions. We attached a supplemental beam to the floor joists that need support with SmartJacks attached to fix any stability issues that the homeowner is having.
