Challenge
In Hagerstown, Maryland, a homeowner had recently upgraded his kitchen with heavier appliances, including a brand-new stove and large refrigerator/freezer combo. Unfortunately, the added weight caused the floor joists beneath the kitchen to crack, creating structural concerns throughout the floor system. Mark knew he needed the issue fixed properly and reached out to Adam after connecting with him through networking.
Solution
After a comprehensive evaluation, Adam determined the home needed 2 SmartJack XLs along with a supplemental beam to properly stabilize the floors above. Gustavo and his crew completed the installation with care and professionalism, restoring stability to the home and thoroughly cleaning the work area before leaving.
