Floor jacks in Hagerstown, Maryland
Challenge
A Hagerstown homeowner had been living in an older home built in the 1900s. Over time, the added weight from several renovations began causing problems with the floors above. She noticed the floors sinking and could feel the lack of support as she walked around upstairs. She called Fortress to evaluate the issue, determine why it was happening, and recommend the right solution.
Solution
Fortress found that her existing support beams were not strong enough to support her upgraded kitchen and newly renovated fireplace. She needed SmartJack® XLs - larger floor supports designed to cover more space in taller crawl spaces than traditional SmartJacks. They provide permanent stability, will never rot or deteriorate, and can support loads of more than 30,000 pounds!
