This interior photo showcases the basement prior to the installation of the SmartJack System. A couple brick posts helped support the foundation but are likely inadequate for supporting the tremendous weight of the house.

After: SmartJack Installation - Close Up
Strategically placed, the SmartJack System is screwed in on either side of the crack to help provide support on either side of the split in the wood. This is then connected into the basement floor, with new concrete poured to offer additional stability.
After: Large Crack in Beam
The second SmartJack beam, offering additional support, is placed in between the brick posts. The crack in this beam rightfully concerned the homeowner, prompting quick action to improve the structural integrity of the beam!
After: Installation of SmartJack Support System
Two SmartJack support beams aid in supporting the cracked beam from compromising the rest of the house. Able to support over 60,000 pounds, this home much more protected against any sagging that may accompany the cracked beams.
