Replacing a Lally Column with a SmartJack, Andover, MA

This homeowner from Andover, Massachusetts recently bought a home without an inspection. Now, he is making investments to fix up his home. Adding stability to his structure is of great importance. The floors above the garage are bouncy and there are slight signs of sinking. This homeowner understood that it was important to solve the problem before matters got much worse.

Our team noted that the old Lally Column wasn't providing the proper support to the home that was needed. This is why we chose to replace it with a SmartJack. This support system is made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel. This ensures that it won't develop rust or be damaged by pests. SmartJack posts are installed on a sturdy base that prevents further settlement.

This will provide the proper support and stabilization to the home, while fixing the issue of the sinking floors.
