The supports carry the rear of the floor; no lifting or leveling of the floors is performed as part of this scope.

Notes: the work is under the floor — nothing comes up through your floors for the beam or the piers. Jobsite will be left clean once completed. The crawl space is not a storage area during the work — please remove anything you keep down there before we start. Contractor is not responsible for damage caused inside the home while working in the crawl space.

Strong Post Jacks are adjustable supports. As part of your installation, we provide complimentary adjustments at the 6-month, 12-month, and 18-month anniversaries of the installation date. These follow-up visits are necessary to ensure the jacks settle properly and are fully accepted by your home's structure. Please note that it is your responsibility to contact us to schedule these adjustment service calls. Staying on top of this schedule is important to achieve maximum lift and ensure the long-term stabilization of your floors where this system has been installed.

Warranty: 12 months workmanship on the work performed; 2 years stabilization guaranteed on the repaired supports.
