New Supports to Replace Lally Columns in Mechanic Falls, Maine

We helped homeowners in Mechanic Falls, Maine who had failing lally columns in their basement. The lally columns were rusting and the owners wanted to ensure the home had proper support. We installed SmartJacks, which are galvanized steel beams that can each hold 60,000 lbs of weight. We connected the SmartJacks to a new supplemental beam to help stabilize the home above. The zinc-coating on the steel protects the beams from rust so they will not have the same problem again.
