Main Beam and Joists Replaced Under Millen, GA Home

Challenge

Kenneth B. of Millen, GA had multiple problems in his crawl space. Some of the supporting piers were sinking; the main beam and 11 of the joists under his home were weak and brittle. Kenneth called Lowcountry Foundation Repair for help.

Solution

To fix all of the issues under the home, Lowcountry Foundation Repair replaced the main beam and the 11 joists. Lowcountry Foundation Repair also installed three SmartJacks; galvanized steel pillars, to provide additional support where the previous pillars failed.

SmartJacks are high-capacity, fully adjustable steel piers capable of supporting loads greater than 60,000 lbs. They are designed to stop settling and can lift subfloors. Each SmartJack is cut to length and can be adjusted in the future.

The job took three days for the Lowcountry Foundation Repair team to install.

Project Summary

SmartJacks: 7

Main Beam Repair: 24 ft
