This homeowner in Haverhill, Massachusetts was experiencing the floors in his home are sagging. He is planning on remodeling the home soon and wants to make sure that the supports can withstand the weight of the remodel. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Michael Bradley, a Design Specialist from EFS, inspected the home. He found that the floors in his home are sagging. Michael recommended installing SmartJacks and a Supplemental Beam to lift the sagging floor. The SmartJacks and Supplemental Beam will add support to the floor for the new remodeling project.
