Helping Level Your HomeAAA SOLID FOUNDATIONS
TELEPOST ADJUSTMENTS
Teleposts (or Jack Post) are a common fixture in most basements. These steel posts are attached to foundation pads under the basement floor and to beams, joists, or flooring above.
Over time, the foundation of a home can shift, leading to uneven floors and cracking drywall. Our experts can adjust the teleposts in your home to ensure that everything is level and solid, preventing costly repairs down the road.
