Jacking or Leveling
Has your home, barn, or building become un-level? Has the building shifted and is no longer square?
Unleveled structures can cause structural members to become stressed and compromised, resulting in serious structural and interior damage.
Signs Yours Structure May Need to be Leveled
- Uneven, sloping, or bulging walls and floors.
- Cracks start to appear in plaster and tile.
- Doors and windows beginning to stick, or not close properly.
- Staircases and countertops are no longer level.
- Bouncing or warped floors are noticeable.
