The GridLock Effect

Bouncy floors, sloping floors, sticking doors, trim separation and drywall cracks are the common problems that arise and worsen when a structure lacks sufficient support.

By combining GridLock Foundations with structural crawl space jacks, Contractors can stop and correct these issues quickly and efficiently.

All houses respond differently to Lift due to wood memory, previous repairs, etc. Houses don’t always go back up the same way they went down. Stabilization is guaranteed, not specific levelness or lift results.
