Sometimes, you don't know how big of a problem you have until DryZone comes to inspect your home! With an outside inspection, we found signs of mortar cracking on the chimney itself. This home's chimney was adding weight to the floor in the living room with no support in the basement below. This issue, if left unresolved, would be a more expensive problem later on. We installed 2 SmartJackXTs and an 8 foot supplemental beam to distribute the weight evenly on the rest of the home. With these SmartJacks and the supplemental beam, this homeowner has no need to worry about their foundation of their home!
