From Old Wood to Smart Support: Upgrading Your Basement with SmartJacks

From Old Wood to Smart Support: Upgrading Your Basement with SmartJacks

Basements often tell a story of your home’s history. Sometimes, that story includes wooden supports—like locust posts—that have been holding up floors for decades. While these wooden supports were once a reliable solution, wood can warp, crack, and weaken over time, leaving floors uneven and risking the safety of your home.

That’s where SmartJacks come in. Engineered for strength, adjustability, and long-lasting performance, SmartJacks are a modern solution for basement floor support. Unlike traditional wooden posts, SmartJacks are built to handle significant weight without bending or shifting, giving your home a foundation you can trust.

Why Upgrade from Wooden Posts?

• Durability: Locust and other wood posts degrade over time. SmartJacks are made from steel and designed to last decades.

• Adjustability: Floors settle over the years. SmartJacks can be fine-tuned to level your floor perfectly.

• Peace of Mind: No more worrying about sagging floors or compromised safety. SmartJacks provide reliable, engineered support.

In our latest project, we left the old locust posts in place—not because they’re needed, but just for decoration! They offer a glimpse into the past, while SmartJacks handle the real work of keeping the floor stable and secure.

Upgrading to SmartJacks is more than just a basement improvement—it’s an investment in your home’s safety, longevity, and value.

Say goodbye to creaking, uneven floors and hello to a strong, solid foundation built to last.
