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.

But if you have purchased a home that has a finished basement, the telepost may be hidden inside a finished wall or a decorative covering such as wood or drywall.
